It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books. It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse. www.chron.com/politics/art...

Who could have known that the anti-migrant moral panic would be used as a pretext for a larger expansion of autocratic police power? Who, I ask you?

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

Temperature was roughly 3C hotter than it was in 1850. The Earth’s oceans were so much higher that the eastern coastline of what would become North America ended about one hundred miles west of where it is currently. East Africa was heavily forested. And there were camels in what is now the Arctic.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —Arrested at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I'm always so nervous the first time I do something new. I remember the first time I went to get my nails done in Seattle, they asked me what shape I wanted. I... didn't know there were different shapes. (They Googled a picture to show me, so I could choose 😆).

Courage isn't something that some people are magically born with that others lack. It's something we can cultivate. Make a practice of doing small things that scare you, so you're ready when it's time to do the big things.

🧵 One of the things that’s been happening in the past three decades is that collectors, museums & dealers are recognising that misogyny stopped them from showing great art by great women artists. Great artists are rare, so let me share one of my favourites with you! [1]

It feels good to finally be making some poems again after a bit of a break. Ebbs and flows are a natural part of creative life tho -- we have to just ride the wave.

I know there are a million things to worry about a right now. But the good news is they are all generally connected, so if you focus on one part of it, it's (most likely) a step in the right direction. And one thing we all need to pay attention to is the very real degradation of our food systems.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
