A government suddenly revoking the legal identity documents of a disfavored minority should raise alarm bells for anybody who has ever read any book

It's finally out!! In my dissertation work with @SarivanAnders, we develop the construct of "gender pleasure" via focus groups with LGBTQ+ people where we asked them about positive experiences related to their gender/sexes. Also with @jane_mao_ @jaybird82 psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-…

This. Thread. Is. So. Spot. On.
Really cannot overstate the mental health impact of spending 11 years getting 3 degrees to become an expert in the intricacies of how intersecting systems of oppression produce suffering and then having your job just be thinking about oppression and suffering all day every day

Vance has consistently backed a national abortion ban. He just said he never has.

There are many important issues on the ballot that Nebraskans can have a say on this election. Let's protect our freedoms and build a Nebraska where everyone can thrive!

I’ve been able to cut trumpers from my life, even family members. I can not participate in your life when your politics and beliefs want my life, and others like me, to be more difficult/straight up criminalize being trans. 1/2

But what do you do when it’s folks in your partner’s family? How do you navigate this and still keep your peace and sanity? 2/2

How about this: 1. At age 10, all boys have their vas deferens severed. 2. After age 25, the vasectomy can be reversed if a woman agrees to have a child with him. 3. After the birth, he has another vasectomy. Too extreme? Fine, then fuck off with your laws about women’s bodies.

The Harris/Walz campaign just sent this media advisory out on Trump’s upcoming press conference

I went through the Wellstone training program a few years back, and it absolutely led me to run for the school board. Happy to support Harris Walz with real leadership experience!

U.S. professors - as you update your syllabi for fall, consider leaving November 5 open. Need to reduce as many barriers to voting as we can!

As I've said before: 2024 is not an election where you get to vote for whether you want a Democrat or a Republican. It's an election where you get to vote for whether or not you ever get to vote again.
Trump: You have to get out and vote. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four years, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore.. In four years, you won’t have to vote again.

This is devastating news for impacted Nebraskans, but it won't be the final word on abortion access or the rights of trans youth and their families in Nebraska. We’ll continue doing all we can to ensure that these decisions rest with Nebraskans, not the government.
NEWS: Nebraska's Supreme Court rules that LB574 - which banned abortions past 12 weeks and restricted gender-affirming care for minors - did not violate the constitution's single-subject rule. Story to come on @NebPublicMedia
