I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

GOV. PRITZKER: “This is a convicted felon threatening to jail me? He’s an unhinged, insecure wannabe dictator. Come and get me.”

The "compact" is a threat, with the administration explicitly stating that it plans to disfavor universities that don't sign in areas from foreign student visas, student loans, federal contracts as well as grants, and even tax [501(c)(3)] status.

It's a maximalist plan of 1st Amendment violation.

So exhausting..

Some takeaways from ABC/Disney backtracking on Kimmel:
1) Corps only care about $$
SCOTUS says money is speech. So use your voice! Boycotts work. Collective action works!
2) A huge amount of energy went into helping Kimmel. We need that same energy for book bans & attacks on marginalized creators.
