In this new environment of censorship and cowardice, the New School cancelled this popular course.

But we'll teach it anyway!

I'm so excited to team up with @seanjacobs.bsky.social and @tonykaron.bsky.social to bring "World Cup and the Politics of Football" to @resistanceschool.bsky.social!

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

What these goons don't seem to realize is that decades of neoliberal policies have forced the work of care downstream--from the state onto families, and then onto women, who've had to get very good at caring for others through the crises that those same neoliberal policies tend to create.

A major newspaper publishing guide to help people identify the munitions their government is using against them is a real "Late Republic America" timepeice that future historians will comment on.

"ICE OUT" on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, as seen from my flight leaving MSP airport

NEW: A Texas county medical examiner found that Geraldo Lunas Campos was choked to death by a guard while he was held in ICE custody earlier this month.

Geraldo is the sixth person to die in ICE detention this year.

This is an open letter written by Grannies Against the Far Right (Omas Gegen Rechts). A young German man, Jan Birkmann, has helped make this happen, and I've promised him to help get the letter out!

It's for American citizens from women who lived through Hitler.

MAGA is fascist. Please read this!

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

8-year-old me would be so excited today — I completed team tryouts to be a @fifaworldcup26.bsky.social volunteer in Kansas City ⚽️

Now more than ever we could use a few people who will welcome the world here.

'Wicked' composer Stephen Schwartz says he won't appear at Kennedy Center The Broadway icon, who grew up in Nassau County, had been scheduled for a Washington National Opera event in May.

Stephen Schwartz, the composer of 'Wicked,' says he'll no longer host a gala at the Kennedy Center.

"It no longer represents the apolitical place for free artistic expression it was founded to be,l Schwartz said. "There's no way I would set foot in it now."

Remember:

When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them.

When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips.

ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

The end goal is eugenicist. RFK and his ilk know that this will make vaccines more expensive and time-consuming — and therefore marginalized children are most likely to fall through the cracks.

This is about killing kids who aren't born to privilege.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Just for those who may be a little confused: “Pro-life” would be 20 Sandy Hook students being college sophomores this year.

Doctors respond to ‘data-free’ decision over menopause hormone therapy: ‘It’s not true’ — Guardian US Physicians say FDA panel conflated two issues and made baseless claims about unproven health benefits

The American medical establishment turned its back on women, said Kennedy, who recently sought to link women’s use of Tylenol in pregnancy to autism. “The label was designed to frighten women and to silence doctors,” Kennedy said, decrying “a culture of fear”. Makary said the decision was “challenging the paternalism of medicine”, but then said hormone therapy “​​has saved marriages”, indicating that one of the key outcomes of the medication is marital satisfaction. “It was not only scientifically wrong, but it was offensive,” Streicher said. Hormone therapy is safe and effective for those with menopause symptoms, she said: “But do I tell every single woman who goes through menopause that she needs to be on hormone therapy? Absolutely not.”

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.
