Gift link: archive.ph/gQgno#select... New op-ed out today! "We believe this rush to comply is a sign that universities are willing to become an institutional wing of the new segregationists." This op-ed was written with fierce love for our communities. That's who we serve. We will not be erased.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

Suicidal thoughts and behaviors are rising among female high schoolers—mirroring the surge in those identifying as #LGBQ. Education policy researchers explore the link:

Teen girls are facing an increased risk of suicide − and stress related to sexual identity might be contributing to it

While more young people openly identify as LGBQ, many still face substantial challenges that can contribute to a greater prevalence of mental health concerns.

Higher education Institutions: “We are committed to DEI.” Faculty/Staff: “Will you publicly state that?” HEI: “No.” F/S: “Will you support us when backlash comes?” HEI: “No.” F/S: “Will you commit to resources?” HEI: “Best we can do is rename your jobs/offices to something slightly more generic.”

My thoughts on cuts to science via NIH and IES It is: ILLEGAL: the funding has been congressionally mandated IDIOTIC: the multiplier effects of R&D are big in the moment (local econs) and huge in the long run (innovation) IMMORAL: knowledge is—hear me out—good; chaos and destruction are bad

there are no liberal paradises. the only paradise we are awarded in this lifetime is one where every member of our community is seen, heard, and advocated for. we must stand with trans kids and adults.

List of CDC information that appears to have been taken down so far: 1. CDC Atlas 2. CDC Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System 3. HRSA Target 4. Language removed for LGBT work 5. CDC Social Vulnerability Index

FWIW, the 2023 data—the first ever nationally representative sample of US transgender high school students—showed that 92% of trans teens reported being verbally abused by their parents and 54% reported being physically abused: “hit, beat, kicked or physically hurt in any way.”

I have drawn on this valuable data a lot. I was on the site yesterday! I have vague recollections of downloading some of it last year… what a mess.

Joel Mittleman@joeljm.bsky.social · 2y ago

The CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey has monitored the wellbeing of America’s high school students since 1991. Since 2015, it’s been a vital source of data on LGBQ youth. In 2023, it provided the first ever nationally representative sample of transgender teens. As of this morning, it’s gone.

my latest @teenvogue.bsky.social: I interviewed trans teens across the U.S.—including L.W., the 16-year-old at the heart of U.S. v. Skrmetti—on their fears and anxieties about the threat of gender-affirming care bans and a looming Trump admin. "Trans healthcare is suicide prevention, at its core."

Wow, @katetothek.bsky.social’s use of futurism and hope as an affective methodology to imagine schools and districts as sites of care and queer joy was amazing. Let’s see more superintendent drag brunches and let’s get the GSA out of the silo. #UCEA24
