Saturday 3-7-26 about 60 hearty souls made it out in the fog and the rain to People’s Park in Petoskey MI to exercise their 1st Amendment rights. The folks driving by were supportive for the most part. @deanobeidallah.bsky.social @stephaniemiller.bsky.social @thomhartmann.skystack.xyz

White text on a black background reads: β€œRaping kids on an island, starving kids in the states, bombing kids in other countries. This is a biblical level of evil from people who call themselves Christians.”.

Women in United States juries - Wikipedia

I'm surprised that the list doesn't include jury service. In most states, only men were allowed.

The right to a trial by jury is one of our most important rights, and women were excluded in most places and times in US history. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_i...

Making my sign for the Stand Up for Science rally tomorrow and focusing on our current measles outbreak. Vaccines are a weird common β€œenemy” of extreme right and extreme left. We have both in my state.

I woke up punchy. I’m so sick of these motherfuckers and their bombs and their rapes and their violence.

We could be happy. We could have nice things like healthcare and childcare and UBI. It actually wouldn’t be that hard.

Sociology pulls back the curtain on power - how it's constructed, how it's maintained, and the (il)legitimacy of those in power - and that's why they're so afraid of it.

(It's also why Intro Soc is my favorite class to teach.)

S&P 500 down.
Dow tanking.
NASDAQ bleeding.
Gas up 60Β’ in ONE week.
92,000 jobs gone.
This isn’t bad luck β€” this is the direct result of reckless, chaotic leadership. Your wallet is paying the price.
