The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were particularly focused on masked gunmen who violated the civil rights of Black people. We should remember this history when masked law enforcement ofcrs are deployed in our communities. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

The U.S. Postal Service has quietly begun assisting Trump's 'mass deportation' effort, sources and records show www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

💥 BREAKING: The Heritage Foundation withdrew its anti-DEI proposal to IBM for shareholder vote today, originally submitted for vote at IBM's annual meeting. Why Heritage withdrew its anti-DEI proposal is unknown. Earlier today, shareholders at American Express voted to reject an anti-DEI proposal.

A lot has changed in the world, so my colleagues and I at the @fordschool are opening up a special emergency admissions cycle for folks who want to start a Masters of Public Policy this fall. Deets are here: fordschool.umich.edu/masters-prog... I hope to see you in class in September!

I fought damn hard to create the 988 Hotline because help should not be hard to get – regardless of who you are or where you live. This is wrong and cruel – and you can be sure I will fight this. www.axios.com/2025/04/23/l...

Had a great day in Lansing on Tuesday with Michigan @alz.org at State Advocacy Day.

"Women" were on the forbidden word list. The Women's Health Initiative helped us understand Hormone Replacement Therapy. We had this study because NIH had frequently *left women out* of their studies.

Loving this audio book!

Here we go.

The entire archive of all CDC datasets uploaded before January 28th, 2025 has been backed up on Internet Archive. Incredible work everyone. Science will never be silenced!

Who knew that Celebrity Jeopardy could inspire an app download from @aclu.org ? Got my copy of Mobile Justice!

Wow. it must feel terrible when someone takes something you made and uses it without permission or payment

FYI work aimed at improving health equity has always included rural and disabled populations. AND it's still true that racism differentially affects health outcomes in both groups.

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

Excellent! Preservation of the historical record isn't just the job of historians. Excited to see what projects come out of this data. Especially curious about economic outcomes within these communities.

In other news, yesterday I called on the four biggest streaming providers to carry C-SPAN. It's increasingly hard to find non-partisan, independent coverage about what's going on in government, and making C-SPAN easier to access for everyone is a good place to start.

Costco defends its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies amid pressures to scale them back: “Our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary.”

Regarding the attacks on “DEI” at NASA especially..

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

No data = no problem.

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

It's highly likely that I had more fun at commencement this weekend than the graduates.

Supportive environments, planning skills, and adaptability help Black family #caregivers of persons with #dementia cope with stressor of the caregiving role. #Blacksky #AcademicSky journals.sagepub.com/doi/epdf/10....

Perks of faculty service! Congrats to all the grads.

This is why I support DEI. The existing system operates to exclude women and minorities. Period.

It's commencement time! My favorite time of year. Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr. Received and honorary degree in Humane Letters today. #GoBlue #Umich #MGoGrad
