“My husband was kidnapped from our home, and it’s shameful that the US government continues to hold him because he stood for the rights and lives of his people.”

In 2004, @judalicious.bsky.social and I were living in Los Angeles when Gavin Newsom, then-mayor of San Fran, decided the city could do gay marraiges. We BOLTED up there to tie the knot and were one of the first couples to get married in city hall. My marriage: still going strong. Gavin Newsom: not.

One of the ironic themes of the Trump administration is that they are doing so much to damage the office of the Presidency, but when challenged they retreat to "respect the office" defenses

pro-palestine activists, press who cover their protests or discuss honestly their positions, and those who express any support for the movement are all routinely slandered as supporting terrorism while in fact opposing terrorism.

"If you're still on Twitter, you're an enabler." "If you go to the US for work, you're asking for it." This shit is easy to say online, but what's harder and more important is understanding how work is incredibly hard to come by right now and individuals are not responsible for systemic problems

Things I learned from being homeless 1) The government hates you. It hates all of you. 2) The rich hate you too. 3) If they come for homeless people, you’re next. 4) Wall Street bankers are actually psychopaths. Like, American psycho is not an exaggeration.

Feels like I'm leaving money on the table by not doing a scam or swindle of some kind. Would you guys buy a car for $100,000 if I pretended it can drive itself. What about a fake currency

So.. I told my students about Mahmoud Khalil at the end of class today and assured them that in case I disappear, I will leave plans for their class with the department head. I, too, am a green card holder. I, too, publicly oppose the genocide in Palestine. I, too, fear disappearance. 1/n

I know I’m not alone in having spent hours on the phone with Social Security after the death of a parent. My Mom and I called together after my Dad passed. She doesn’t do online anything, and we would have been screwed w/o a phone option. Make this make sense! www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

when i was reporting for @rollingstone.com i was told the likeliest scenario for passage of a hyde amdt on trans care in the funding fight this fall would be: senators pretend to filibuster but then schumer lets the squishiest dems “vote their conscious” to let it through. keep that in mind today…

Anyone who knew immigrants during Trump's first term knew his administration was targeting the Respectable, Nice, White Ones then too. My neighbor was a high-prestige postdoc. His wife worked remotely in London-based publishing. The Trump administration didn't let them renew their visas.

I married when I was past 40 and got divorced when I was under 50. I don't think either marriage or divorce can be considered a measure of anything-except social, especially peer, norms. True among queers too: I got married after friends did. Friends of friends got divorced soon after I did.

Okay, Schumer's speech was a head fake. This is the Senate D caucus trying to fool their own supporters. Sorry to say that but that's what's happening.

How you gone be like, I'm just gonna hop on this plane with an active case of measles? But they normalized that with COVID! People are floridly contagious knowing full well they're sick traveling all time. Sit your ass down & isolate if you're sick. We went over this in lesson one.

Musk is unilaterally wrecking the government from within and lining his own pockets. Get him out, terminate his access to all government systems. If you can't rally the public against a cartoonishly corrupt bond villain who's stealing from them in plain sight then get out of politics
