AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

the federal government is running ethnic terror pogroms executed by washed out skinheads
Breaking news: ICE stops family at gunpoint—smash car window on top of newborn baby.
"I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother.
“I covered my baby with my body—I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

It would be pretty awesome for every professor in Texas to talk about how there are more than two sexes in class today.
They can pick you off one by one. But they can’t fire all of you at once. Solidarity is the only way through this.

When Campus Reform and Turning point came after professors and created the professor watchlist, administrators didn't pay attention..Now they are being fired and attacked. Maybe institutions should have done more to protect academic freedom....

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

the obligatory second tweet after "monitoring and praying" to show you are very concerned. then maybe a third tweet before going back to talking about how some restaurant changed its logo or an M&M no longer wears sexy boots

A reminder that this is what the path to a full ban on vaccines looks like.
No one is banning vaccines for everyone overnight. Just like with abortion, they will carve off one group at a time and hope the those still eligible respond with gratitude and self-interest instead of anger and solidarity.

It's official: Updated COVID vaccines have been approved by the FDA, but with restrictions.
Moderna: 6 months and up if high risk
Pfizer: 5 years and up if high risk
Novavax: 12 years and up if high risk
Anyone 65 years and up is eligible for updated COVID vaccines regardless of risk status.

If you're a guy, and there are any women who *actually* trust you, treat that like the highest achievement possible.
You think a Nobel Prize is a bigger deal than that? There are a LOT of Nobel Prize winners who can't say that any women trust them.

much easier to understand the sheer bloody intensity of the civil war when you have a good grasp on just how terrible slavery was.
"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

First day of classes! Today I just ask them all to pronounce their names, and then we break into small groups for content discussion. *Maybe* we get to the syllabus?
Students won't remember first-day content, but they'll remember how they felt about it.
