It took much too long for this post to come true, but it was, indeed, correct

Funny how all that protect women’s sports energy went out the window as soon as WNBA players showed up with T-shirts bringing awareness to the lack of financial equity they have in their league.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

The MAGA mind virus Mike Lee has a really bad case, and it's spreading across the GOP.

New in PN: The MAGA mind virus

"77 million Americans surrendered moments of shared humanity when they put Trump back in the White House. The tragedies that once united Americans now only further divide us. No one, including his supporters, should have expected anything else."

On top of every others issue here, if Linda McMahon actually knew anything about social welfare programming, she’d know that decentralized service provision (specifically TANF) has been a disaster in Connecticut

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

This is such a profoundly stupid take but also you gotta wonder who Jay Williams is hanging out with because, in my experience, the rapist coach and the coach who choked a teammate during practice were both allowed to continue to coach kids

A few years ago, I was part of a team working on a paper (on factors associated with IPV perpetration) for a special issue of Journal of Family Violence. The issue isn’t final yet, but the collection of studies within it is if anyone is interested: link.springer.com/collections/...

Amid all the other news, it's easy to become inured to the basic facts here. Öztürk:

-Is not accused of committing any crime

-Is nonviolent

-Was in this country legally

-Merely engaged in speech that the administration objects to

-Has been locked up for six weeks

Today, I submitted my dissertation (entitled Building and Testing A Networked, Gender and Power Conscious Model of Proactive and Reactive Bystander Action) to MSU’s IRB! As has been the case throughout the dissertation process, I’m feeling all the despair 😅

I don’t know how else to say it but allowing a woman to compete on the women’s team is not denying women sporting opportunities. There are SO MANY things school do that put them out of compliance with T9 for which enforcement would make an actual difference. www.espn.com/college-spor...

Spinning "a player who was expected to be drafted in the 1st/2nd round fell into the 5th round" as a Donald Trump Success Story is actually a really good example of how things work around there

Growing up in West Virginia, I always thought me looking around and thinking “lots of y’all would’ve been nazis” was me being cynical, but every day this administration shows me that I was, in fact, correct

As someone who’s been a Suns fan for 2 decades, it was kinda funny to see this team enter a do or die stretch of the season, immediately choose die (losing 8 straight), and then win big right after getting eliminated. None of it makes sense and somehow it all makes perfect sense

financial advice in a weird time:

-- develop a plan
-- find friends who support you
-- preferably 10 of them
-- steal $160 million from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand
-- yes those are Terry Benedict's casinos
-- get your wife back
-- one of the friends should be Don Cheadle btw

simple

The beauty of this title is that this paper is a naval gazing airing of grievances by someone who appears to primarily be upset that he was pushed to keep thinking about his research agenda (and based on everything in here, that push was NEEDED) #socialwork #phd

A tweet from the ADL:

We firmly believe there should be swift and severe consequences for those who provide material support to foreign terrorist organizations, incite violence in support of terrorist activities, or conceal their identities in order to harass and intimidate Jewish individuals and institutions with impunity.

We appreciate the Trump Administration's broad, bold set of efforts to counter campus antisemitism
— and this action further illustrates that resolve by holding alleged perpetrators responsible for their actions.

Obviously, any deportation action or revocation of a Green Card or visa must be undertaken in alignment with required due process protections.
We also hope that this action serves as a deterrent to others who might consider breaking the law on college campuses or anywhere.

The Anti Defamation League is so right, if there’s one thing that makes me feel safe as a Jew, it’s people with unpopular political opinions getting abducted by the government
