You know who did pass the bar exam? First Lady #MichelleObama, Justice #KetanjiBrownJackson, VP #KamalaHarris, and Congresswoman #JasmineCrockett.
#DEI doesn’t lower the bar. It exposes those who can’t reach it.

If this woman were black, the whole conversation would be about DEI. Funny how when white employees fail, nobody mentions THEIR race or ethnicity. And yet — how much of Trump’s administration is just affirmative action for nice-looking white people?

I'm teaching Mexican History in the spring, I'm really not sure what I'm going to assign. I might use my advisor's latest book "Mexico: A 500-Year History" as a textbook. I also want to teah Gabriela Soto-Laveaga, Terry Rugeley, Mikael Wolfe, Alex Aviña & many others.

This is not acceptable. This is humiliating for the country. I don’t know what needs to be done, but we have to stop this.

Nearly 100,000 people signed a petition demanding that Zohran Mamdani be excluded from the 9/11 commemoration.
Today, he declared September 11 New York City’s first official Day of Remembrance and Service and ordered the city to update its emergency continuity plans for the first time since 2007.
The people trying to turn 9/11 into an Islamophobic weapon against him should be fucking embarrassed.
