My opinion about the accommodations discourse today is:
1) Universal design. Universal design is the answer. Accommodations for everybody.
2) It's the carceral bullshit around grades and testing that makes accommodations seem like a problem. Stop doing it! Just let the carceral bullshit go!

A college student complaining about a grade on a paper is not national news. Not even close. The details have minimal import outside the class itself.
Well-funded political activists targeting profs and TAs—in this case because they're trans—with the help of elected state officials? National issue.

A lot of what people imagine politically for this country can't actually happen under the current Democratic party. That's something that I don't see lots of people actually reckoning with. There is no way to do most of the things that some people want to do through the Democratic party.

One of my fundamental beliefs is that I should not have to talk to people who have been cruel to me. You might be surprised to learn how often -- and vociferously -- people disagree with me about that.

KOSA is never about protecting kids. It’s anti-queer and about making sure kids don’t have access to information they need to survive - from health basics to knowing they are not alone and not broken. And it will destroy the internet as we know it.
🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on.

This article is essential for cis people talking about this whole thing. Katelyn got a screenshot of the student's mom flatly reposting the idea that trans people should be banned from teaching. Here's the screenshot, but you should actually read the article for the context and the story itself.

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

if you’re arguing about the prompt and not seeing the very real harm being done to actual people, you need to learn empathy. If you don’t see who is empowered by your attempts to be clever, you cannot be trusted. You need to use your privilege to advocate for others, not punch down

The thread covers some of this but not enough.
What it misses is that Jeffries is busy coming up with slogans while he is telling his members not to take action.
The problem is the lack of action. And keeping busy with slogans now is an error.

The problem with that slogan right now, however, is that it reads as tone deaf while everything is collapsing around us and those in charge are looting, cheating, and destroying everything. I'm no political strategist, but it feels like messaging should reflect that first.

I maintain that once somebody published a study, anybody can criticize it publicly, & there is no *obligation* to wait for the original authors' (OA) to reply.
1st, why would the OAs get to have the last word at every step?
2nd, waiting opens up a loophole for the OAs to derail the process.
