The wealthiest country in the world: "Tho the GOP likes to consider itself pro-family, the maternal & infant mortality data across the US tells a different tale. The policies enacted by GOP state legislatures strongly contribute to the poor maternal & infant health outcomes in these jurisdictions."

Medicaid helps keep parents and children healthy and well. #ProtectMedicaid

"North Carolina and Idaho have already announced plans to cut Medicaid payments to health care providers, including hospitals, doctors, and caregivers."

The effects this will have on care will be felt amongst paid and unpaid caregivers alike. #CareCantWait #CareNotCuts 🧵 1/2 www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

“Make no mistake, losing these funds will directly impact our ability to serve some of our most vulnerable kids,” Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction Jill Underly said about the Trump administration’s “devastating” decision.

Grateful to have discovered the impactful thinking and activism of @astra.bsky.social through the CBC 2023 Massey Lectures, "The Age of Insecurity." Turning to her 2019 text "Democracy may not exist, but we'll miss it when it's gone" to help think carefully about global current affairs.

Fellow journalists: we need to frame how harmful this language is.

It’s a really fun time to be a gender studies prof right now let me tell you.

Also this was was me going up the mirrored elevator to the 22nd floor to HarperCollins where I felt like I’d stepped into the set of Younger (which is totally ridiculous but binge-able for sure)

Oh no, I guess I finally have to get on IG? Not that my publisher says I have to, but my agent does. Sigh. Can this old dog learn new tricks?

You know what specific thing I did that was a concrete act of collective care? Organized my rent stabilized building alongside my neighbors. We formed an exec cmte to rep our 60 units, are a liaison btwn all tenants & LL, and most importantly we have created a standard of mutual aid in the bldg.

My students & I talked abt the CK thing in class a bit. My take for them was: log off. People who are motivated to hurt others are people who haven’t gotten the care they need. Log off, connect with your friends, family, neighbors, community. We must provide care for each other for many reasons 1/3

EXCITING DAY: I am going to the @harpercollins.bsky.social offices to meet w my editor, agent and publicist to talk about our big plans for my new book, IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH out in February!! www.harpercollins.com/products/in-...

the key is you absolutely must be doing things with other people.

Man, this essay by Joan Scott is EXCELLENT. www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-g...

Anyone doing an ethnography of high school / college / elite debate team culture? We might need a book on that.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

One week into the school year and my 2nd grader has hand foot mouth disease. C'MON!!!

I’ve been thinking about how the white moderate think about free speech. Where calling for violence and the dehumanization of entire groups of people is merely supposed to be pluralism at work rather than an a threat to that pluralism.

settings > content & media > autoplay video & gifs = off

The professor has been fired and senior administrators removed from their post. No mention of this in the New York Times, The Free Press, The Atlantic or other outlets who drove the campus speech moral panic.

Too many professors think academic freedom and tenure will always protect us. We need to be better organized as workers.

better things are possible!!!!

Will create an atmosphere of fear and intimidation that is hostile to teaching and learning - one student can start a massive state or national controversy at any time with an out-of-context phone video, etc.

Texas A&M’s President just removed a dean and department head from their positions after they supported a professor whose lesson on gender was challenged by a student. www.kbtx.com/2025/09/09/a...

Demanding more data that already exists “is not a genuine search for truth. It is a calculated strategy to erode public confidence in the very institutions responsible for safeguarding health. It represents a form of gaslighting that undermines public trust & overrules sound scientific practice”

Shame on the courts for going along with the pernicious fiction that American national security required stripping employees of union protections

Hard to express just how little I care about writing this 3-year plan for my department today. Like, how about "stay alive and keep the vulnerable alive, hopefully educate some people along the way"? Can that be it?

I know I’m relentlessly harping on this eugenics thing and I’m gonna take a break from it but I’m just so tired of watching ableds discover eugenics for the first time and drawing all the wrong conclusions when literally many of us disabled folks RIGHT HERE explaining it and have been for YEARS

This is a hell of a letter. “The intentional eroding of trust in low-risk vaccines…will bring us to a pre-vaccine era where only the strong will survive and many if not all will suffer….Eugenics plays prominently in the rhetoric being generated…”

In a functional government, this would be a five alarm fire where Congress calls in Kennedy and asks him what the fuck is going on

A eugencist’s dream— a target list. We are so cooked.

www.npr.org/2025/08/26/n... Whistleblower says that a former senior DOGE official now at Social Security Administration copied Social Security numbers, names and birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private server. Server is lacking adequate security, potentially putting information at risk

Just love starting the semester with emails from univ admin that sound like corporate managerial speak nonsense from OFFICE SPACE w rhetoric of “strategic adjustments” & “optimizing” just to say we have no $ to have custodians anymore

🔥

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

It’s that time again! The beginning of the semester means sharing my Course Ethos of Care document. Take what works and leave the rest but this has been really helpful for me to set the tome at the beginning of each course. docs.google.com/file/d/1Wlkv...

Convinced the denigration of the humanities is one of the major reasons for the rise of AI slop.

For the life of me I can’t figure out why anyone thinks people want this drivel. What a con.

Medicaid is the primary source of funding for in-home and community-based care for 7 million aging and disabled people—including children like 10-year-old June Rice, who relies on it for essential nursing care at home.
