That would fund almost 6 weeks of SNAP, which actually helps people.

Bio politics, necropolitics, whatever you want to call it, it is absolutely disgusting and dehumanizing.

These people are not pro-life. They aren’t even pro-birth. They are eager to see immigrants suffer and die.

Beyond the policy, there are individual accounts from pregnant women detained in ICE facilities. What they describe is a pattern not isolated incidents. 🧵

K-shaped economy puts pressure on women, as lower pay and higher costs reduce spending Women are under pressure from lower pay and reduced affordability on everyday items, which is widening the K-shaped economy and seeing women spending less.

While women's job gains were 3x the rate of men in 2025, it has not translated into greater pay. Occupational segregation: women disproportionately hold the lowest-paying jobs and are driven to those careers and out of male-dominated careers and then are paid less. www.cnbc.com/2026/03/09/k...

On Parenthood and Genocide A new mother and scholar of forced displacement writes about Israel's mass murder of Palestinian children in Gaza.

In Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Congo — mothers are mourning their babies.

Resharing this piece I wrote over two years ago because we’re still watching a genocide happen, watching even more parents mourn.

Women’s day includes these women too.

I love Tey’s book. I regularly assign a chapter from it to my sociology of gender class. I wish I could have heard the lecture.

This literally happened in a meeting I was in reviewing courses that were flagged recently. “Well do you have a reading on white men?” 🤯🤯🤯

End Academic Censorship at Texas A&M University The Regents have the obligation to uphold academic freedom and encourage, rather than stifle, open inquiry in and out of the classroom.

More Than 1,000 Voters Were Turned Away Tuesday. ‘Total Chaos’ in Dallas Raises Alarms of Worsening Voter Suppression. As if election nights weren't stressful enough, more than 1,000 voters were reportedly turned away from polling locations.

The overbearing workload required to correctly cast a ballot is a feature of the policy choices made by Republicans, not a bug. Their hope is that, if they erect enough barriers to the ballot box, it will convince the “wrong” type of voters to simply give up.

The War on DEI and the Return of White Supremacist Politics What is unfolding is an attempt to restore racial hierarchy as common sense, to turn historical amnesia into governing logic.

In this article, I argue that the attack on DEI is a key front in an authoritarian politics of white supremacy, one that seeks to purge public institutions of critical history, democratic dissent, and the voices of those long written out of power.

What Will Be Left After the University of Texas Destroys Itself? UT-Austin has collapsed its race, ethnic, and gender studies into a single program while a new policy asks faculty to avoid “controversial” topics. But the attacks won’t end there.

Probably. Also it’s interesting some media frame him as appealing more to moderates which might be true but the actual policy distance between them is very small.

The guy was regularly going toe to toe with Abbott in the last leg session. There is no question in my mind that he is a fighter.

Inside Texas A&M’s Scramble to Censor Its Curriculum Documents reveal widespread uncertainty, even among administrators, over what professors could teach.

The Texas A&M system reviewed 5,400 courses for ideological compliance. Only 6 were officially canceled. But faculty say hundreds more were quietly altered out of fear. https://chroni.cl/4u3Dto5

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Headlines moved on quickly from the schoolgirls in Minab. We don’t know their names; no media profiles about their lives and aspirations. No smiling photos attached to quotes from mourning families.

How unfair that some dead are memorialised while others are relegated to ‘estimated casualties.’
