The spring trainings I am looking to organize are around facilitation (how to facilitate meetings and events in a movement space, how to address common problems that trip folks up) and conflict resolution in movement groups. Very basic stuff that I am seeing is desperately needed.
CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes.
Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time.
What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.
Study finds ChatGPT Health did not recommend a hospital visit when medically necessary in more than half of cases. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
My team and I have been anticipating this for months. It is unconstitutional and illegal.
The media should note: Last time he issued an EO about voting, we sued and won. If Trump issues such an order we will sue again and we will win again.
It's obvious why Trump and Republicans are wasting the American people's time with theatrics and distractions. The law is in plain language, release ALL of the files NOW.
This White House cover-up needs to end. It’s not that complicated: we need to release all the files and hold everyone – whether they’re a president or a prince – accountable.
Nothing says "pro-life" like men who want women executed for exercising their reproductive rights.
So many opportunities denied to so many of us
Deeply grateful to every single person organizing against these concentration camps. Thank you. I wish I had the capacity to substantively contribute to the efforts but I will at least uplift what you all are doing.
Oh yes she did!
Nancy Hopkins & other female scientists at MIT experienced sexism. One night in 1994, she carefully went into each lab WITH A TAPE MEASURE & calculated the area. It turned out that even a JUNIOR faculty member had more sq footage. MIT admitted fault.

Maine! It’s strange the things I don’t know are options until another place thinks it up
Remember when RFK Jr. unilaterally decided that COVID19 vaccines should no longer be recommended during pregnancy?
Well, COVID19 increases the risk of preeclampsia.
And it turns out that getting boosted, either before or during pregnancy, significantly reduces the risk of preeclampsia.
A MN protester accused of assaulting ICE officer had case dropped after vids showed no assault.
LA protester accused of assaulting ICE w/ “hat” had case dropped; judge said govt acted in “bad faith”
In Chicago, 92 ppl were arrested for assault/impeding ICE; 0 convicted
DOJ keeps lying and losing:
Curious how Maine GOP deflects this clear hit to Maine’s economy?
Harvard administrators pushed a faculty committee to cancel a long-running, biannual symposium featuring tenure-track women’s research, citing legal concerns about hosting a single-gender event. The cancellation comes as Harvard has scaled back...

We’re not letting this go.
Our Epstein billboard campaign is live in strategic locations nationwide—Florida (Mar-a-Lago 👀), Arizona, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Texas.
The message is simple:
Until every page of the Epstein files is released, we will keep up the pressure.
Now, bear with me, because Trump's Secretary of *Education* has been embroiled in a sex abuse lawsuit from her former place of employment which was, of course for an educator, WWE pro wrestling ...
👏👏👏👏 say it Governor Mills!!

What’s most disturbing to me re @mayor.nyc.gov’s failure to uphold the .05% allocation for libraries is that these are THE socialist institution, islands designed to secure everyone’s equal & free access to knowledge, tech & space otherwise monetized. They should be a socialist’s top priority.
Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.
My traditionally aged students have some romanticizing of 90s / retro-is-in that I don’t really understand but they’ve never heard of Anita Hill or Clinton’s impeachment or 1st Gulf War or Y2K - what sets the scene of the 1990s, big picture, for those who’ve lived and studied it?
Social movement scholars / faculty - are there any articles or lists of “tacitical innovation” in the 1990s? I know there is a ton on digital mobilization but just curious for a wider lens. I am about to teach Lisa Levenstein‘s “They Didn’t See Us Coming” and students don’t have much context.
Millions of files related to Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a 'global criminal enterprise' that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council says reut.rs/4rpxDfl
BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
“These girls are experiencing high-risk pregnancies and are some of the most medically vulnerable people in detention,” Zain Lakhani, the director of migrant rights and justice at the Women’s Refugee Commission, told Jezebel.

and they won’t be happy about the SAVE Act, especially when they find out it makes it particularly difficult for older married women to vote.
Stephen Colbert: “I don't usually say this to a guest, but if people are watching this right now, it's cause they found us online on YouTube”
James Talarico: “This is the party that ran against cancel culture — and now they're trying to control what we watch, what we say, what we read”
I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.
