"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
Look at the percentage of independents voting for each party.
Faux Fur, Flimsy Data—HHS’s “Gender Dysphoria” dossier struts a catwalk of questionable conclusions, so I roast them in my blog.

On this Trans Day of Visibility, I’m honoring the kind of visibility that sustains.
A student using my decolonial trans* feminism in their diss proposal.
A talk on Trap Door and the limits of visibility.
A workshop on QTBIPOC genealogies in education.
This is the visibility I’m embracing.

I want to push back on some discourse I've been seeing suggesting that universities cannot use endowment funds to make up gaps in research funding. For example, at Columbia, about one-third of our $15b endowment was unrestricted as of June 2024. Be careful not to preemptively justify austerity
I am truly terrified for Hamdan. If you don’t know who Hamdan Ballal is, he is the director of No Other Land and he and Yuval both won the Oscar for Best Documentary this year

Lesson learned: AI citation tools are a mess. Tried Microsoft Copilot and it changed authors and titles in my refs even if you provide the correct info. Never again—Zotero, I’m sorry for ever doubting you.
It’s really a bad script. I am sorry but where in the Spanish speaking world a woman says “hasta me duele la pinshi vulva” to say “you turn me on” 👀👀👀
1. Despite Republican attacks in recent years, America is queerer than ever before.
LGBTQ+ identification has risen to 9.3% in the last Gallup Poll, a huge jump from 7.6% last year.

The White House’s “ASMR” video showcasing the shackling and deportation of migrants is a grotesque display of dehumanization. This administration’s perverse attempt to frame human suffering as soothing reflects a deeply disturbing and inhumane mindset. Reminder: The only felon is the President.
Oh my god.
They removed "transgender" from the page about Trans woman Sylvia Rivera's page at the National Park service.
"Sylvia Rivera began fighting for gay and _____ rights"
WOW.
Democrats love a good “we must” speech—“We must protect rights! We must act!” Umm, you are the elected officials. We already know we must, so go do it. Republicans sure don’t hesitate to handle their business.
The same administration that refuses to recognize trans people’s names and genders is now banning the AP for not using the name they gave a body of water. The hypocrisy writes itself. 🏳️🌈🎓 🏳️⚧️
F universities. F research too. People are not okay. The university has its endowments. People are losing their food stamps, housing vouchers, freedoms, and life.
Stay calm and grounded. Protect your energy. What they are doing is called a shock doctrine—manufacturing crisis to push violent agendas while we are disoriented. Stay focused. Stay connected. We are not powerless. ✊🏽#ICE #Trans #Resist #StayGrounded #MigrantRights
Dear NYU faculty, you have the opportunity to provide this ONE particular student, which I won’t name, with a plethora of facts and a different view of life.
White men rarely see themselves as DEI hires, yet Trump’s cabinet picks—stacked with unqualified loyalists—prove the point. The irony? Many benefited from systemic advantages while dismantling DEI initiatives.
They are coming for all of us even in “liberal” states
I actually have written on epistemicide within (white) trans studies 🏳️🌈🎓 🏳️⚧️
