Opinion | Although thousands of college students in California qualify for CalFresh, only about 25% who qualify actually receive benefits. The system is simply too difficult to navigate. cal.news/4dU96eq

Order from a Black-owned bookstore, like Marcus books in Oakland: marcusbooks.com/search?q=Kin

Europe has always chosen Hungary.
A country reclaims its European path.
The Union grows stronger.

I may have been yelling YES very loudly in my apartment. Hungary showing the way it’s done!🎉🙌🏾

I credit my (Louisiana) Catholic upbringing and the Jesuits at my high school for helping me develop a moral compass - I used to think my first public-facing book should be about growing up Black and Catholic in Spokane, Washington. I went with Radical Empathy instead. I’m lapsed but this Pope…😇
Wow!!!🏀
really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.
Poli Sci student association says they love Professor Givens

Oh good, you're awake. Welcome to America, the year is 2026 and we're setting oil on fire until gas gets cheaper
Leigh is right all Republicans do is lie. Senate Democrats have tried 5 times to pass a stand-alone bill to fund TSA, FEMA, CISA and the Coast Guard, Republicans have blocked every single one. ICE is a rogue agency that needs to be reined in and until then #FundDHSFreezeICE

I spent many years in administration and made a conscious choice to return to teaching full time because I want to spend more time interacting with students, sharing my perspectives and research. I will accept my flowers and continue working towards making these academic spaces welcoming for all.
Congrats!!!🎉
After all these years, I finally won a teaching award! For my dedication to accessibility and Universal Design for Learning 😊
I can thank my students and my son, who has ADHD for helping me to be a better advocate for accessibility ❤️
Had a great visit to L’Oreal Canada’s headquarters in Montreal as part of my #Reckoning book tour.
