Gender studies courses are shutting down across the US. The Epstein files reveal why | Joan Wallach Scott
Texas A&M University is the latest school to end womenβs and gender studies programs and teaching race. We know why
What is really at stake is the enforcement of "sex-based distinctions" that have long been understood hierarchically (men on top) to deny women (and sexual minorities) equality of treatment and access to resources and power.

Mexico is setting up free vaccination stations against measles, and I am encouraging all my friends and relatives under 49 to get one. In the US, I know it's more complicated, but I got an MMR shot in the fall because my doctor tested me and I had no antibodies. I'm 36!

βDo you know the legend about cicadas? They say they are the souls of poets who cannot keep quiet because, when they were alive, they never wrote the poems they wanted to.β β John Berger
βIt shows us there is another way. And this is why artists are so often the first people to be targeted by authoritarian figures, those intent on keeping a tight lid on ideas, on different opinions, on language. Artistic expression is the practice of freedom.β

Renee Nicole Good leveraged her white privilege in defense of the most vulnerable in her community. She was cowardly murdered by a masked man who did not identify himself.
Her resistance was peaceful. The message is unmistakable: this was meant as a warning to all, including white women.

Immigrant Derangement Syndrome

Opinion | Iβve Been the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees for a Decade. This Is the Crisis I See.
Today, some 117 million people have been forced to flee their homes (β¦) The tools to help them survive, rebuild and eventually return home already exist. But they require time, cooperation, trust and a desire to invest in peace rather than war.

Why autism should not be treated as a single condition
A better understanding of its biology will lead to better interventions
Andrew Wakefield, a British doctor, claimed (wrongly) in 1998 that the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine was a cause of autism. This led to years of wasted research trying to find a link that did not exist.
