On the fourth anniversary of the repeal of Roe v. Wade remember they lied to get their Supreme Court seats

In the 4 years since Roe v Wade was overturned there have been over 400 pregnancy related prosecutions. Maternal mortality is up 33% nationwide and 50% in some states. We are being criminalized and murdered. That’s the legacy of Dobbs

One contract required public officials to keep secret that a confidentiality agreement even existed. At least one agreement allows the companies to sue cities to enforce the terms of the deals, sometimes in other states.

Le sigh. This state is so very broken.

Private prison company GEO Group, which runs Delaney Hall, gave $1M+ to Trump's Super PAC in 2024 and his inauguration in 2025. Not only has Trump since rewarded GEO with billions in ICE contracts, but a top former GEO executive has now been named acting ICE director. Cashing in on cruelty.

We’ve lost too many good people this week. 😔 😞

Folks put into positions of authority simply for their willingness to support Trump and not for their expertise, leadership, or capability are apparently just now realizing that no one trusts or respects them. Took long enough.

For non- Spanish speakers, this is announcement of the passing of Raúl Pacheco Vega. It doesn’t say when or what happened, but comments on his work and how generous he has been to colleagues not just at his home institution but around the world.

Going into this week with the reminder that…

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

I was trained to write in an overly formal, voiceless style that I’ve struggled for years to break free from. This AI nonsense just pisses me off for so many bland, boring, and voiceless reasons. 😠

What happens when publishers begin avoiding LGBTQ+ stories before a book is ever challenged? This article explores how years of censorship efforts are creating a chilling effect across the publishing industry, making it harder for queer voices & stories to reach readers bookriot.com/queer-books-...

Brief summary of what happened last night at Delaney Hall: At 3 pm Governor Sherrill announced with the NY AG that she was sending state police to Delaney Hall, with the posture that this was to protect protestors and kettle them away (an oxymoron). Around 9:45 pm, protestors and organizers

My fav analogy so far!

Censorship comes in all forms. 😠

I hate that publishers are doing this, but I’m 💯 here for the comments!

Member of @authorsabb.bsky.social @jerroldconnors.bsky.social came through in the best way and assembled this for us all! Know thine shitty bills!

Wow! Yes! More of this!

Not to partake in the discourse but I think it’s important we acknowledge that Stephen Miller is, in fact, an ugly fuck.

Hey, if you're represented by Henry Cuellar (TX) Don Davis (NC) Cleo Fields (LA) Laura Gillen (NY) Vicente Gonzalez (TX) Marcy Kaptur (OH) Marie Glusenkamp Perez (WA) Eugene Vindman (VA) Give 'em a jingle and ask why they're voting with Republicans to support HR 2616, the national book ban bill?

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

Be ready to call your Senators once we have a bill number. We need to be loud about how heinous this bill is.

This just in- National villain doesn’t like that folks realize he’s a villain. Pointing out his villainy is really just a distraction after all.

“I Cannot Let These Doctrines Be The Face of My Education”: Elizabethtown (PA) Students Protest Book Bans This is a moving and honest piece from a high schooler who has been protesting book bans in her school–and the defunding of their library–for months. bookriot.com/elizabethtow...

CALL YOUR REPS NOW! SPREAD THE WORD! HR 2616 was snuck onto the calendar for a vote TOMORROW. This is a pro book banning bill which seeks to ban ALL books by or about trans individuals.

Historian here this is literally about gutting the Reconstruction amendments especially the consequential 14th amendment piece by piece.

Jim Crow, say what?

And while we're talking about Texas, it's not just opinion polls, it's election results too. Anti-book ban candidates swept many of the non-partisan school board races across the state of Texas last week.

This whole thread is helpful in putting words to my thoughts.

Retractions never get proportional attention. This one should.

Just rewatched. It’s heartening to know that MFL has since lost most of those school board seats. I’m so glad folks are becoming more aware of this issue.

The CHE is really going all in with AI, it seems. It would be amazing to have a journal of higher education that actually care about teachers and students, instead of Provost Monthly or whatever it is this thing has become.

Ffs. This is America. Then and now.

Today is a good day to pitch your local outlet something about the canvas hack. Put TIMELY in the subject line. Describe yourself as an educator in a few lines (two sentence!). Then make an argument.

Mac Barnett is a straight white dude author working with white dude illustrators to produce breezy, kid-friendly & topically safe books. Of course he scolds kid lit creators for producing books kids don't go ga-ga for. Imbedded in privilege, he can't see picture books as more than entertainment. 1/

lol. Americans, apparently.

JCK is wrong & this article is ridiculous, but universities need to emphasize what makes higher education different than AI / tech companies, and the answer to that question is that which they have marginalized for decades: curiosity-driven, rather than market-driven knowledge.
