Morgantown area schools are requiring teachers to take down Pride flags in their classrooms as they've been deemed political activism and a violation of district policy. https://t.co/oK12XoiC7d
West Virginia ranks 49th in # of students who remain in the state after graduation. Reckless and dangerous legislation like HB302 will only drive more West Virginians out of state. We cannot build a sustainable workforce if our state does not protect basic human rights.
Here lies the first & the last needs-based/evidence-based Harm Reduction program in WV.
As of next week we are forced to implement rules that at best keep people from accessing care and at worst literally kill people.

LIFE UPDATE: I’m thrilled to announce that at the start of 2022, I will be joining @ObamaFoundation and the @MBK_Alliance team!
I am so excited to get back to my roots in working with communities that empower young people of color to dive into their passions!
“Many who lived in Linnentown are urging leaders in Athens to pay for destroying their community more than 50 years ago to make way for the University of Georgia.”

@juergenthebread I would buy any/every book you publish, but if you made a German recipe book, I’d buy multiple copies as gifts for my family. I need a Brötchen recipe that will actually work at home. I would also love to see a German Christmas recipe book. ❤️

I managed to miss most of the horrible Paternity Leave Discourse because, well, I'm on paternity leave until January.
But: Parental leave should be universal, and it should be universally taken. And not just so men can be helpmates to their wives, who're doing the Real Work.
Once again another viral video has shown the world how police harm Black people on a daily basis. On Saturday, Ocean City officers tased, hogtied & hurt a young Black teenager over a trivial allegation of vaping on the boardwalk

Today, we honor the 49 people who were killed in the Pulse nightclub attack five years ago. The tragedy at Pulse is a reminder that every day we must fight together to protect LGBTQ people and other marginalized communities against hate and violence.
@IAmAmnaNawaz They’re confusing CRT (which is taught in some college graduate programs), with teaching an accurate version of American history that includes ugly truths about our country. If you think teaching students about the Tulsa Race Massacre is CRT, you got it wrong. Theory ≠ History
This is the kind of ignorance and flat out cruelty we’re fighting in a state that has the largest percentage of trans kids in the nation. How do you push back on your representatives when you can’t even agree on the basic tenet that you should give a shit about other people?
