No one leaves home unless
home is the mouth of a shark
you only run for the border
when you see the whole city running as well . . . .

Our student Natalie Cornett won a book prize for “The Politics of Love: Gender and Nation in Nineteenth-Century Poland” about the Enthusiasts, who challenged the Polish intelligentsia to broaden its single-minded focus on the independence struggle & address women’s roles! slavists.ca/association/...

I want to point out a new resource page on Monarca website.

Small (or large!) businesses can post signs saying ICE/CBP must have a warrant to enter premises.

Also Know Your Rights signs for targeted people.

PDFs of signs and KYR cards. Plaster these puppies everywhere.

Places that do this don't deserve our business.

I’m not the first to notice that student loans will be capped for largely women and minority-dominated educational fields like nursing, PT,OT, social work etc. with the recent reclassification of “professional degrees.”

Also Black women out of federal work was just the beginning.

When we win back the government, we need to return jobs to all federal workers who were laid off or pressured to take the DRP, etc. Black women, who had stable careers in federal work, were disproportionately impacted. Doge operatives also need to be held to account for theft of data.

AOC explaining why 'ol Marj is quittin: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office. She is saying a lot but her ACTIONS have not backed up the rhetoric. For all her talk, she's STILL voting with them to gut healthcare and advance self-dealing corruption schemes."

AOC over on IG 💅

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

The university is one of the most toxic environments for faculty of color. Period.

Pentagon Pete’s War Goons Accidentally Invade Mexico U.S. “contractors” planted signs declaring that a Mexican beach was U.S. territory.

DOD contractors “mistakenly” landed on a Mexican beach, declared it US property and planted “restricted area” DOD signs, triggering a tense confrontation with armed Mexican forces.

Mexico removed the signs, insisting the area is theirs.

Yet another example of total incompetence.

The spectacular fall of these abusive and arrogant men at the hands of their silenced victims—what a moment of reckoning. All this comes on the heels of these rich elites starving the poor and depriving them of health care, reminiscent of the real sin of Sodom. Bring on the brimstone & karma!

“Based on sustained fieldwork with trans women in Istanbul, Alsi Zengin traces how the Turkish state reaches into the textures of daily life—through touch, surveillance, and regulation—to produce what she calls “violent intimacies” mes.americananthro.org/2025/11/18/c...

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism.

Why Are “Gender Critical” Activists So Fond of Gametes? plus my new video “Trans People and Biological Sex: What the Science Says”

I have a new essay coming out next week so stay tuned! since one of the ppl I critique in it is a hardcore "gamete truther", I figured I'd re-up this – discusses both the actual biology & the bonkers anti-trans talking point that's grown out of it (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/why-are-gend...

Listen.

We love to see it!

Lee went to a bread factory where a worker was killed. The next week, they changed to 8-hour shifts from 12.

Labour Ministry will fine companies up to 5% of operating profit if they have 3 three deaths in a year.

New law: employers can get a 1-year jail term for a single death.

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

If you are in the Boston area, please make time to visit C. Rose Smith’s powerful exhibition, “A Silent Rage,” at the Kniznick Gallery. My class was so fortunate to have an opportunity to meet the artist. Some very moving conversations. www.brandeis.edu/wsrc/kniznic...
