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.

Flimsy Data in Faux Fur: The Gender Dysphoria Report’s Questionable Catwalk. — Omi When drag artists hit the runway, they dazzle with skill, satire, and unapologetic truth. When a government white paper tries the same sparkle, we get a costume malfunction in hi‑def. Grab your tea—we...

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.

Against Austerity: Why we must fight against Columbia cutting Ph.D. cohorts based on lies The Student Workers of Columbia union recently learned that Columbia administrators quietly told faculty in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences to cut incoming Ph.D. cohorts by up to 65 percent. ...

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

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.

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.

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. 🏳️‍🌈🎓 🏳️‍⚧️

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

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.
