Emory Hillandale is a great hospital. It is a community hospital that serves the needs of people and neighborhoods who had little access to major medical services. I believe most of the negative sentiments are drenched in internalized racism and racist stereotypes of black communities. Forget them.
Just saying thanks, @moyazb.bsky.social. More than ever, we need our Quirky Black Girls.
Clearing space for #BlackWomen today, I’m reminded of the strength I found in Quirky Black Girls. We need that spirit now more than ever. Check out this interview with Moya Bailey & L’erin Asantewaa of SisterFire on holding space for counternarratives.

If Texas voters can do it, so can we:
“Over the past weekend, several candidates in suburban Texas school districts who opposed book bans won their elections, defeating conservative officials who had supported and implemented such policies in recent years.”

Trump’s ascendancy begins with the 2008 Wall Street collapse. The Great Recession marked the rise of a populist movement that personified systemic racism.

Yep!
Thanks for the run through. I am just glad you are here. We will find our people, just like we did with everywhere else.
The erosion of trust in science & scientists — sometimes due to complex social/historical factors but often deliberately perpetrated by charlatans — has tragic, deadly consequences, and, if unchecked, is an existential threat to society.

Just listened to a great conversation between Peniel Joseph and @darrickhamilton.bsky.social. Hamilton breaks down the racial wealth gap and why we need policy that invests in people. His insights on the path forward from neoliberalism and oligarchy are essential. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

Openly call it a coup and hostile occupation
The most reliable counter to a fascist coup is a popular front uprising.
The most effective thing opposition leaders can do is call the situation what it is & start building it.
We must show that this Govt is as illegitimate as the Vichy Govt was.
Walk out. We are not united in any way...and being there seems complicit. Show solidarity to the Americans that still support the constitution.
Do not go. Each of you hold your own press conference in your localities at the time he is holding his address. The less eyes on him; the less validity he accumulates.
This is one big problem with these laws. If I am supposed to use women's rooms, then many many cis men can too, WAY more easily than having to convince someone they're trans women.
He is using his office to abuse power. But his power isn’t just abusive—he actively wields it to abuse others. America was founded on the principle of resisting such abuses, claiming its greatness in that resistance. Allowing this betrays the very roots of the nation-state. He is a terrorist.
Exactly. Emory thrives on an unbothered, individualistic culture that allows threats to go unchecked. The silence isn’t strength—it borders complicity.
We are part of the AAUP, so some relief.
They have no backbone. Stand on your ground.
They only needed a strand of hair to unravel it all—an America stripped of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion.
Accessibility? That can go too.
The only sentence in those executive orders they don't take seriously is the one about how the order "does not have the force of law."
