A digital collage poster for an event titled Intersecting Minds: A Conversation with Poet Matt McBride. The background has a textured beige and red paper-like effect. At the top left, "INTERSECTING MINDS" is written in bold black and red text, accompanied by an image of a typewriter. The top right corner displays the event date and time: "3/21/25, 1PM (EST), ZOOM Link: https://emory.zoom.us/j/8811564472 " in black text with a small graphic of the Intersecting Minds Logo, made up of intersecting circles with a red dot in the middle. Below, the words "JOIN US" appear, with "US" in bold black and red font over a red paintbrush-stroke background. The main text provides a brief biography of Matt McBride, listing his published works and accomplishments, with some journal names italicized. His social media handle (@matthewdmcbride.bsky.social) appears at the bottom. On the right side, a section titled "A Conversation with Poet Matt McBride" features a filmstrip-style border containing a headshot of Matt McBride in front of bookshelves.

Here's a fuller version of that Bertrand Russell quote that's been going around:

"The first step in a fascist movement is the combination under an energetic leader of a number of men who possess more than the average share of leisure, brutality, and stupidity..."

“Unfortunately, troubling recent events suggest that some administrations are … engaging in what scholars of authoritarianism call anticipatory obedience—that is, they are acting to comply in advance of any pressure to do so.”

Absolutely true.

Trying to collect info in one place for folks. Things are moving quickly. The multiply marginalized will be disparately impacted, especially BlPOC, immigrant, and/or queer disabled folks. Here's the round up from week 1.
Week one disability rights watch. What happened? Removal of the accessibility page and all content in ASL from the White House website. The administration sets the tone for what it does and does not value on its official website. Executive Order "ending radical and wasteful government DEI programs and spending". this seeks to terminate all DEI related programs and work within the federal government in the text DEI is sometimes written to include accessibility as DEIA Executive Order "Ending illegal discrimination and Restoring Merit based Order". Expands the reach of Anti-DEIA tasks including investigating private sector businesses that have any DEI or accessibility initiatives
