To see everyday people standing up to heavily armed agents of ICE, FBI, every police state agency, just going out on the street & yelling at them & saying shame on you, get out of our neighborhood, & then they do, they turn around & leave, in this case the shouting beats back the weapons💥

Please, don’t let Jonathan Joss’s story die down. Please, don’t do this to Indigenous people on Pride month. Please, recognize his whole neighborhood was in on his premeditated death and killed his dogs and burned his childhood home. PLEASE REALIZE this is a hate crime against a gay AND Native man.

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to. This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented. So ICE took her into custody. The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck. "I can't breathe."

"When you remove a lot of old fish, & you know that the herring acts as a collective, then you actually remove the collective memory of the population” 🐟🐟🐟 Thinking of these beautiful fish & their collective acts of survival, hoping they can maintain their collective memory in spite of overfishing🐟🐟

One thing I have learned from the past five years is that a majority of cishet white Americans who consider themselves empathetic and good people will take no meaningful steps to stop mass death as long as the people who are dying are "part of the plan," as the Joker might say.

The Rumpus let me go today as the Multigenre Reviewer-at-Large as part of ongoing masthead changes under new ownership. I’m taking a beat off socials, but I want to express gratitude for the previous leadership, particularly Aram Mrjoian, who created my position.

If you watch Culver's speech, you can see her physically trembling. She delivered the kind of testimony this world requires. Her university doesn't deserve her.

Babies can only have milk. They can’t even have water. Since Israel is banning all aid including baby formula, these babies will die. And since Israel is also starving everyone in Gaza, moms can’t nurse their babies either. They’re just watching their babies die as they die to.

Did you know that we as trans people don't have to redo Gender Wars shit? The dudes rock, the dolls rock, the theys rock. The only important distinction right now is are you cool or are you a cop.

Look, I wrote a summer reading list for The Rumpus this year. It takes time and love and attention, so this is bullshit. On the other hand, I’m absolutely crossing my fingers that the multiverse shoots Makkai’s Boiling Point to us through the wormhole.
