New short article on the relationship between Black manosphere discourse and real world violence against trans and cis Black women. I cite Megan Thee Stallion as an example.
In "‘He should’ve killed your ass’: Notes on Black women deserving death in the Black manosphere", Danielle Procope Bell argues that acknowledging the existence of the Black manosphere is important to combat violence against Black girls and women. Read it here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Why including people with disabilities in the workforce and higher education benefits everyone
For one thing, the presence of employees with disabilities improves the culture of the entire organization, making it more collaborative and responsive.

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives
Trump funding freeze a blatant violation of Constitution, federal law: Legal experts
The Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear: President Donald Trump's order to pause federal funding is against the law, legal experts tell ABC News.

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban.
Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on
Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.
