The Talibanization of the US in a "Make Russia Great Again" Administration
What’s with theTalibanization of the US in a Pro-Putin Administration?
The Taliban aims to keep Afghan women athome under men’s control. Girls are forbidden education past elementary school.
Trump aims to eliminate the Deptof Education as well as diversity and inclusion programs in education.Patriotic education is the new theme.
The Office of Personnel Management sent a memoto researchers and universities prohibiting the use of 25 words, including“women,” “gender,” “activism,” and “minority.” (January 19, 2025)
Trump said during the campaign “I will protectwomen, whether they like it or not.”
The White House posted a photo of the presidentwearing a gold crown with the caption “Long Live the King.”
13 US State prohibit women’s reproductivechoice and more states limit it.
Trump frequently calls women leaders “nasty,”including the Episcopal Bishop of DC, Mariann Budde. When the Governor of Mainestood up to him he told her “Your political career is over” and “We are the federal law.”
He threatened to imprison Republican Liz Cheneyfor researching the mob assault on the capital on January 6, 2021.
At least 26 women have accused Trump ofassault, and he was convicted by a jury in the case of E. Jean Carroll. He wasrecorded delighting in his stardom allows him to grab women.

Youth Activism for Democracy
The young adult speaker at a Not my President rally explains her generation lacks experience in democratic activism. Various national groups aim to educate Young Leaders and Next Gen.

Re-segregation is foolish
Remember how the Taliban are excluding women from leadership? The admin. is doing the same, with the addition of men of color, scrubbing their photos and articles from websites and photo galleries. Re-segregation is so backward and wasteful of talent. Let's ask our Congress members to restore Constitutional rights and respect for democracy.

CSUC exhibit of Japanese kimonos worn through a woman's life
CSUChico Valene Smith Antropology Museum exhibit of kimonos worn throughout a woman's life. It states,
"Bound in Japanese tradition, the kimono, which means “the thing to wear,” is not just clothing. It represents who you are. Each kimono, crafted from a single bolt of fabric, provides clues about its wearer, communicating status, gender, virtue, and a connection to the natural world.
In the student-curated exhibition, Unfolded: Seasons and Symbols of the Kimono, selected kimonos from the Masami Toku collection, inherited from her mother Taeko Toku (1932 – 2020), are presented in thematic scenes weaving together history, art, symbolism, and identity."
