& my poem, No Ethical Transition Under Late Capitalism, which explores the entanglement of the medical industrial complex with settler colonial violence and how this intersects with my own life as a trans woman.

Gratitude to @khilfish for helping me to edit this poem ❤️

“Rebalancing the scales can take many forms, from reframing fields for nonmajors to designing courses outside areas of expertise.” Stacy Hartman and @heatherhewett on how the humanities are being reimagined. https://t.co/3UrTyHmqkH

If the Dems want answers, here's a big one. They ran in 2020 on taxing the rich and reining in this nonsense and then didn't—or couldn't. And so I think a lot of working-class voters said, Well, screw 'em. I made this vid for @MotherJones. cc: @AOC

I think I've watched this speech 5 times. She is SO GOOD.

It’s not a coincidence republican men are ‘joking’ about repealing women’s right to vote

I grew up in Oklahoma, so this one hits close to home.

Trump: “I'm gonna do it whether the women like it or not.”

This is exactly what a rapist says.

1. As a leading transgender journalist, I can’t stay silent about the dangers a second Trump administration poses to my community.

I believe a Harris administration offers a path forward, and that’s why I’m endorsing Kamala Harris.

I'm KEEPING my WaPo subscription. I support the journalists and the newspaper. BUT as a longtime subscriber and contributor, I'm also protesting @JeffBezos. Just submitted my letter. @RonCharles @Jacob_Brogan @PostOpinions @PostGuild

Vice President Harris: The patriots at Normandy, Selma, Seneca Falls, and Stonewall… They did not sacrifice only to see us cede our freedoms and submit to the will of another petty tyrant. The United States is the greatest idea humanity ever devised. In 7 days, let us turn the page and start writing the next great chapter in the most extraordinary story ever told

12.8 million have voted early in the 7 swing states. 1,286,048 more women have voted than men, 55.1-44.9%. The gender gap grew by 80,964 from Monday. Gender turnout gap is F+13%-pts in PA, F+12 in MI and GA, F+11 in NC, F+8 in WI, F+4 in AZ, F+0 in NV. Good for Harris.

"Hope [is] not some sappy, breezy optimism but rather the experience-firmed belief that you have 'agency' and an 'actual pathway' to solving a difficulty." @sallyjenkins writes on the Commanders but could be writing about #HarrisWalz24 https://t.co/sGfosspeDR

“What I have come to realize,” @lpolgreen writes of the Cass report, “is that this report, for all its claims of impartiality, is fundamentally a subjective, political document.”
