An important read for all educators. Thank you @nrooks.bsky.social

Diagnosing Bias: Eugenics and the American Eagle Jeans Campaign How the Sydney Sweeney controversy relates to medicine

“The scientific community can and must challenge pseudoscientific justifications for hate, racism and bias.” Thank you @medpage @gfriedman for inviting me to comment on the viral TikTok I made on eugenics and the American Eagle Jean campaign. www.medpagetoday.com/popmedicine/....

If the Justice Department wants to learn the names of Jeffrey Epstein's clients, they should be asking the girls who were victims, not Ghislaine Maxwell.

Then DO SOMETHING

Capitulation. Capitulation is one of many problems, especially in congress. We, the people, but fight back.

This regime told us what they would do when they took power.

They’re doing it.

Find your people.
Organize.

Oh by the way, don’t forget you can ask your library to order nearly any book you want to read but don’t want to buy. And as authors we love libraries buying our books & readers being able to access them through libraries.

The People Being Arrested By ICE That No One’s Talking About The Trump administration’s deportation machine is detaining immigrant women at record numbers — and they've become invisible targets.

What we suspected about the treatment of immigrant detainees who are women is true & coming to light.

PS Please save your comparisons to a certain fictitious book centered on White women. This is real—& has happened to Black women throughout history.

Zohran Mamdani scores 17-point lead with Jewish voters in NYC mayoral race Mamdani's support among Jewish voters comes after accusations from opponents and some community leaders that his criticism of Israel represents antisemitism.

always good to see voters reject corrupt politicians' bids to divide and scapegoat

The only way to respond to a bully is to stand up and say no. Sometimes with our words, songs and jokes. Sometimes with our actions, protests and solidarity. And sometimes, yes, by punching back. These are the only effective tools. Appeasement, cowering and grovelling have never, ever worked.

Questions raised over cost to rehab Trump's Qatar jet and 'mysterious' $934M fund transfer The cost to rehab the controversial luxury jet generously gifted to Donald Trump by the government of Qatar remains a mystery with the figures not being made available at the same time that there are ...

This is just Trump stealing another $1 billion.

Call it out for what it is.

This is why Trump classified the amount it's costing to refurbish the Qatar jet.

Would love to see the interview of Jerome Powell asking Trump about the cost to the tax payers to renovate his new Lolita Express.

Immigration agents told a teenage US citizen: ‘You’ve got no rights.’ He secretly recorded his brutal arrest Video from Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio, 18, puts fresh scrutiny on the harsh tactics used to reach the Trump administration’s ambitious enforcement targets

Given ICE brutality, it's unusual to get video evidence of how they operate. But here's chilling documentation that shows the indiscriminate and violent approach that ICE takes to arrests - here, including a US citizen: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is the school @colsonwhitehead.com's phenomenal Nickel Boys is based on and the trauma and abuse so well illuminated in that story, both in writing and on film, has ripples that are rocking individuals, families, and communities even today.

Abuse is a societally shared trauma

Buying tomorrow! So incredibly excited to read more of your writing!

“Lots of cheating can been avoided by daylight and surveillance.” Truth! That’s why I love the workshop model.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stephen Colbert tells studio audience CBS is canceling 'The Late Show,' to end in May 2026.

Breonna Taylor should be alive today.

She was shot and killed while sleeping when officers fired into her home.

By seeking a one-day sentence for her murder, Trump's DOJ is sending a cruel and disrespectful message: that they don't value her life or that of her loved ones.

It's not just that Stephen Miller is one of the most hateful men in America.

It's that we've socialized people to either laugh or sit silently while he spews his hate.

I'm looking forward to the day when treating people with anything less than dignity and respect is a nonstarter.

5 years ago today we lost one of American democracy’s “Founding Fathers,” a warrior for freedom, equality & justice - John Lewis. Activist,organizer,Congressman, fighter to the very end of his life. He gave us the charge: make “good trouble” & show “raw courage.” We fight on w/his example before us.

NYS Regents board looking to adjust graduation requirements The board has unveiled "Portrait of a Graduate" framework which may lead to the end of REGENTS exam requirements for graduation.

NY teachers, some vague information about portrait of a graduate and the phasing out of mandated testing. I’d love to learn more, if you know. #portraitofagraduate #NYeducation
