Periodic reminder that there is nothing you can give the far right that will satisfy them. Remove a right, they’ll go after another. Attack a minority, they’ll want worse attacks and find new groups to attack. There’s no end to the authoritarianism. Just more, and worse, until everyone’s crushed.

I’m so glad to see this recommendation — thank you, Katie! Folks in Austin, mark your calendars for June 1 when fellow contributors Liz Garton Scanlon, Sean Petrie (he’s also the publisher), and I discuss SPINNING TOWARD THE SUN at Birdhouse Books.

This was the book I didn't know I needed but really needed to read during these difficult times as a writer. Highly, highly recommend this book of essays. And best of all, all proceeds go to helping with Hurricane Helene relief. ❤️

FIFA and the IOC should start making noises now about moving the World Cup in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028. If other countries cannot send their athletes & fans into the US without fear for their safety, we are not fit to host international sporting events.

Attn: Trump stated, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!” Many have interpreted this as an indication that he or his allies are using knowledge of tariffs for personal financial gain. This raises serious concerns about insider trading and market manipulation.

I’m at the Hands Off rally fighting for our democracy and freedom. I’m a student of history and know that dictatorships target the neurodivergent and disabled first. Stories are how we fight back for our dignity and humanity. #neurodiverse

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
