1. We are seeing a massive amount of overcompliance with Trump EOs. Nonprofits across the board are erasing transgender people from their websites. Mira Lazine reports on several that have made the decision to do so in her latest piece. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Of course it is not the most elite institutions with the most resources fighting back. It is those with the fewest resources who serve the most marginalized populations. For these institutions DEI is not an optional add-on but their entire mission.

This is a challenging book at a challenging time, but for feminists like me who tend to repudiate TERFism as "not real feminism", it's an important push to grapple honestly with history and be clearsighted about the nature of our current opponents. It is, Sophie says, "a love letter to feminism".

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x

Delighted to be featured in this great WP piece by @andrewvandam.bsky.social today: "‘Kindergarten Cop’ lied to us. This is the real single-parent capital of America" www.washingtonpost.com/business/202... (Don't know why a sea lions image came up here! 🦭🤷🏾‍♀️ 😂) #sociologysky #policysky

All the soldiers are white—in every photo you've seen of the liberation of Paris in 1944. Yet African colonial soldiers made up 2/3rds of Free French forces & tens of thousands of African American troops fought in France. US & UK commanders insisted—no Blacks allowed. news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/...

In the midst of the urgent need for home health care workers, LDI Fellow @pgonalon.bsky.social & colleagues found that as state Medicaid spending for home-based services increased, home care worker wages remained stuck. She unpacks what these findings mean here: ldi.upenn.edu/our-work/res...

So many of us have been screaming about the online radicalization of young (white) men. Misogyny & “trolling” are gateways that shouldn’t be dismissed

Great piece from @rachelmcohen.bsky.social. I'm with Bruenig on this: "the technical fix is to just tax everyone on their personal income rather than using household income", but would also add that our system (and many proposed reforms) create marriage bonuses.

Saying hi to this new site by sharing my last ASR pub, w amazing colab @imarinescu.bsky.social! We show that privatized childcare services play a direct role creating family income inequality in the US, bc unaffordable childcare hurts lower income families most doi.org/10.1177/0003...
