We cannot survive another neoliberal president.
We CANNOT *TOLERATE* Another neoliberal president.
This is unlivable and inexcusable.
If you think for one second voting blue no matter who will save us, you are LYING to yourself. THIS is what they do and we MUST fight to change them.

I wonder if this is the best time to make such significant structural changes to a program that has helped the Democratic Party train and elect candidates. But what do I know? I'm just a voter.

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

I think that very few people in academia have come to terms with what it means that most schools depend on grad student labor but prepare grad students for a job market that doesn't exist.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

You're walking home from the gym when you're stopped by FBI officers in an unmarked car. They handcuff you, even though you tell them you're a US citizen.

Then, they scan your face.

I’d say that I’m disappointed by these “anti-DEI” efforts not being more prominent in the conversation around our current totalitarian moment, but it's pretty consistent with what’s happened since the book ban push targeting schools and libraries since the Floyd protests.
reminded of a similar, though more manual, process in NC back in March:

“Course descriptions, student handbooks, class syllabi and webpages were among the university publications listed for censoring.“
