Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

klion is absolutely fucking correct

If you didn’t see #KamalaHarris’ brief speech at the #NAACPImageAwards, do yourself and your country a solid, go find the clip and get your mind right. #MyPresident

Krasnov Trump: KGB asset, traitor, Nazi

Everyone, please read this thread and share. Musk is closing down Social Security offices and it is not being reported. You have to go to the DOGE website to find it. Here are all the details: www.rawstory.com/anxiety-moun...

🚨🦈! Jeff The Land Shark miniseries is starting! I'm so nervous and happy to be assigned to everyone's favorite series! And Thrilled to be working with @kellythompson.bsky.social ! Check out the beautiful cover art by @gurihiru.bsky.social sensei too✨✨

The Heritage Foundation is a terrorist group. Pass it on.

I want to say again to academics who are interested in public writing. Look locally. Sure national outlets are good and I do that too, but this kind of visibility in your community can have a real impact.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Listen and read! By @karenattiah.bsky.social

this has been very clear for a very long time and I've long wondered why so many people didn't see it. I think it's because it seems so absurd that someone would think like this. But plenty have throughout history! And plenty of people (too many!) have supported them!

Another great take from Sky. I don't mind telling you, @deuxdel.bsky.social, @airy.bsky.social and I did a real great job on GALAXY: THE PRETTIEST STAR.

He's so rattled because he knows that his dumb argument that the J6ers were "yelling just as loud as you" conveniently omits the fact that J6ers beat cops and wanted to assassinate the House Speaker and VP and these people in his district just want him to have some even tiny balls

i bought mine! no, im not from Boston but lived there for a couple of years! and it was freakin mawnstuh!!

Among the many, many hypocrisies of Shapiro as a free speech hero is that he went to Hungary to celebrate a government that bills itself explicitly as "illiberal" and has shut down entire areas of studies and universities.

Federal judges are regarding Trump’s executive orders targeting transgender people with skepticism and, in some instances, outright disdain. Four judges — a Reagan appointee, a Clinton appointee and two judges appointed by Biden — have temporarily paused enforcement of Trump's anti-trans policies

I had the honor of speaking with the razor sharp Julia Wong about Enemy Feminisms, & she really gets it. Writers are not always so lucky to receive such care in journalism. Thank you Julia for putting so much thought into this offering which frames EF rightly as an antifascist strategy intervention

Every video i see from those Meidas ding dongs is like “Donald Trump CRASHING OUT” or “So-and-so DESTROYS Donald Trump” and it’s just like the most benign bit of news you’ve ever heard of. The fact that they’re now the number one podcast is a terrible sign for media literacy in this country

The question is … how much more of this are we going to allow?

He's gonna fuck up every single independent creator who depends on the mail for their business. Call your reps and tell them you didn't vote for Trump to destroy your business. reps.fyi

Cheering myself up by looking at an ancient scan of a 1982 USPS booklet I loved as a kid: "P.S. Write Soon," developed jointly by the postal service and the National Council of Teachers of English to instill a love of writing letters. It worked!

Siding with Putin is siding with the terrorists. Trump is siding with Putin. The USA and NATO need to be united in siding with Ukraine. Siding with Russia is NOT making America GREAT.
