Since people were asking about the words I shared today at the no kings protest, here's the full text. Thanks @indivistwincities.bsky.social and @mn50501.bsky.social. Wrote it last week, but because it ended up being about how we carry grief and what we might do with it, it felt appropriate:

If you aren't sure why people are saying to rank "Anyone But Cuomo" for NYC mayor, these are the reasons. We deserve a mayor who cares about the city, not a malicious predator who is carpetbagging because he can't figure out what else to do with his life.

1. Let's put this together. The assassin appears to be the follower of the New Apolostolic Reformation, which holds that American society is literally under demonic possessions. (And you, dear reader, are one of the demon.) www.wired.com/story/shooti...

YES. If you mask everywhere- or at least in the most crowded places that people cannot avoid, like stores- then it places masks in the category of Everyday Clothing. It makes it SO much harder to ban when at least a decent chunk of people wear them.

You know that cool thing you do that pisses off the fascists? The stuff that gets you angry 1-star reviews about the Spanish in your book or too many fucks or because it’s “too gay” or “woke” or “too gory” or too dirty or political or whatever? Familia, do that harder than ever.

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

"I had not touched a cat in 15 yrs when an orange kitten wandered over to sit w/me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience. It reminded me that I am alive. It instilled in me a raw, unbridled happiness that I had never felt before, not even as a child."

As I understand it, to block Cuomo, it's critical for everyone to fill out all five slots with non-Cuomo candidates. Here's Mamdani's (very fun) video explaining it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFGk...

Ok if someone asks you how to prep for No Kings, don't warn them about kettles and tear gas, warn them about the literal sun. "Bring a hat, sunscreen, snacks, twice as much water as you think you need, and flag/sign of your choice. Wear comfy shoes. If your phone is old bring a battery pack."
