I’m so excited to reveal the cover of THE PEOPLE’S PROJECT. @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social and I have spent the last few months reaching out to the people we ourselves turn to for clarity and hope. This anthology of twenty-six writers is a community in book form.

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

So much of our disability community infrastructure is federally funded. With these cuts, many of our folks will be forced into institutions when we should be bringing more folks home to live in community.

As the transgender community continues to fight for civil rights in the U.S., one of the most common arguments against progress is that transgender people are a recent phenomenon. But it’s a fight that’s been happening here for decades and around the world for centuries. ⤵️

As predictable news breaks timely infuriating poll via @ryangrim.bsky.social "Twenty-nine percent of non-voters who supported Biden in 2020 said U.S. support for the genocide was the top reason they sat the 2024 election, according to a survey by YouGov." A colossal F'up by Biden/Harris admin.

Somebody in the crowd at the Mississippi State / Kentucky game has a poster from the 1996 Final Four, State's first Final Four. Not sure if it's supposed to be a dunk on UK, but not only did UK win that championship - Mark Pope did.

one of the most depressing realizations in politics is the day you understand that a lot of people would legitimately prefer to spend more money to make sure nobody “undeserving” gets a benefit than to make it accessible to everyone

Jimmy Carter was a Christian politician who actually sought to model the teachings of Christ even after leaving politics, rather than using Christianity as a political bludgeon against his opponents or as a tool of supremacy in the godforsaken "culture wars."

NEW from @sylviaruthg.bsky.social: A pregnant homeless woman in Louisville was in labor and waiting for an ambulance when an LPMD lieutenant came upon her. He detained her and cited her for unlawful camping (Safer Kentucky Act) as the ambulance arrived. She had a baby later that day. There's video.

There was a time, not that long ago, when the name Kenneth Branagh was internationally synonymous with Shakespeare. He once directed and starred in movies that heralded a Golden Era of Shakespeare on film. But his “King Lear” at the Shed is forgettable.

Nikki Giovanni, a poet of rage and revolution as well as love and longing, who emerged as a fiery voice of Black liberation in the 1960s before honing a more tender, meditative style in best-selling books for children and adults, died Dec. 9 at a hospital in Blacksburg, Virginia. She was 81.

Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community. Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.
