Statement on the Transphobic UN Report on Violence Against Women and Girls October 17, 2025 The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security is appalled by the advanced edited report from the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls (VAWG) en...

“The anti-trans movement likes to cloak its transphobia & transmisogyny in a patently genocidal language of social contagion… The language of modern day transphobia is very similar to National Socialist views on homosexuality.”

Transphobia is rooted in recycled homophobia. It belongs in the trash.

No surprise here

The first Reno Women’s March in Jan. 2017 was 10,000 strong - the largest protest Reno had seen. Today, our community nearly doubled that number for #NoKings.

Northern Nevada is loud and clear that we will not tolerate hate and division.

BREAKING: WE WON!!!
💥 💥 💥

Federal Judge William G. Young ruled today in our lawsuit against the Trump administration that the policy of arresting, detaining, & deporting noncitizen students & faculty members for their pro-Palestinian advocacy violates the 1st Amendment.

Full ruling here:

In Landmark Ruling, Federal Court Says Trump Administration Violated First Amendment By Deporting Foreign Citizens for Pro-Palestinian Advocacy

⬇️ NEWS: “This is a historic ruling that should have immediate implications for the Trump administration’s policies. If the First Amendment means anything, it means the government can’t imprison people simply because it disagrees with their political views."

Judge issues blistering opinion against Trump policy to deport pro-Palestinian students Judge rules non-citizens have the same free speech rights as US citizens under the first amendment

“‘No law’ means ‘no law”
glad to be a member of @aaup.org who today won a case that speaking out on behalf of the human rights of Palestinians is protected speech for all, not just citizens

3/ This is good news for future contribution rates, but contribution rates are changed only once per biennium--this is a non-rate-setting year.

2/ The performance figures for private markets (4.7% vs 12.7% benchmark) in this preliminary report are as of 3/30/2025 because of lagging valuations. They are likely to improve in the final updated report in October because of better performance for public markets in the past quarter.

Table of Nevada Public Employees' Benefit Program preliminary investment performance as of 6/30/2025. For FY2025, 10.6% total return versus 11.5% market return.

Nevada PERS investment performance for FY2025 as of 6/30/2025 was 10.6%, well above the actuarial assumed rate of 7.25%, but lagging from the 11.5% market benchmark due to underperformance of private real estate and private equity allocations. 1/

ICE is using an anonymous doxing blacklist (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_...) to target student protesters at American universities.

Opinion: Graduate student workers are essential to the state’s universities. They deserve a contract now. "Every day we go without a contract is another day some graduate workers struggle to afford to live in the communities where we work and study."

"When we began bargaining, the University of Maine System said they wanted to work together to improve conditions for graduate workers. Nearly two years later, I’m tired of platitudes and inaction."

Public employees deserve the right to collectively bargain! Glad to see Utah fighting back. Nevada Faculty Alliance @nvfa.bsky.social hopes to see Nevada expand collective bargaining to #HigherEd faculty next session (we'll keep trying until we get rights!)

Budapest Pride goes ahead, defying Orban threat of 'legal consequences' Tens of thousands have gathered for the LGBTQ march in Hungary's capital, despite a police ban and warning from PM Viktor Orban.

“Tens of thousands have gathered for the Budapest Pride march, defying Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's legal threats against LGBTQ rights activists.”

Solidarity with everyone marching at Budapest Pride today. It’s beautiful to see so many people resisting authoritarian politics.
