I do not appreciate this.

i'm doing a super local fundraiser for #trans people and an org that serves them this year - my wife @rachelcrowl.net will be taking photos of any trans people who want them, in time for #TDOV. #donate if you can. repost if you can't. diverseandresilient.networkforgood.com/projects/296...

Nice try with that unprovoked war of choice, but no, we haven’t forgotten about Epstein.

Classic WSJ headline in the same vein as "Nuclear War: What's the Impact on the Bond Markets?" www.wsj.com/world/child-...

Louder for the people in the back: transphobia is bad politics.

Ecuador? What?

Emmanuel Damas, 56, died in ICE custody on Monday. Damas came to the U.S. from Haiti seeking asylum. After six months in ICE custody—the last four at CoreCivic's Florence Correctional Center—he died from complications from a tooth infection. A tooth infection. 1/3 tucson.com/news/local/b...

7 robins, a pair of doves, a woodpecker and a mess of sparrows in my yard today, AND I got to see two red tailed hawks mate on my walk to work. It's first fake spring in #Wisconsin, no doubt.

some good news. #trans www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/n...

How are there still white guys with dreds, tho?

the world is on fire in almost every way possible but if you need a break here's me and my wife @rachelcrowl.net talking about what it's been like to be a #trans couple for a quarter of a century. we really did leave this interview more in love with each other than ever youtu.be/cIpp-BDMcDI?...

this is obscene.

I guess I have to watch #SNL because Marlene Dietrich?

Tony Gilroy, creator of Andor, wasn’t allowed to use the word “fascism” during press junkets in 2025. Interesting interview in The Hollywood Reporter. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...

The people who take care of people are fraying at the edges. Take care of your local social workers, therapists, community organizers, substance abuse advisors, therapists, etc.

out-no kings'd by an actual king. go figure.

damn, they arrested Andrew. please someone come arrest our guy (because it's pretty obvious we're not going to)

I used to teach feminist theory and often made the joke that patriarchy isn't 10 guys in a room deciding how to keep women down... Except when it is. #Epsteinfiles

“The Newark bishops are the only confirmed U.S. bishops who plan to celebrate Ash Wednesday Mass in an ICE detention facility. The ability of religious groups to enter detention centers to provide pastoral care has been embattled and inconsistent …”

“I am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does. Rest in power, Jesse Jackson 🙏🏽

But did you call it farina or cream of wheat?

I am thoroughly convinced most of us are terribly sick of the inept, hateful bullshit of this admin. And that's what keeps me going.

What is it about people becoming super rich that makes them turn into miserable horrible people? You can do *anything*. Pursue any dream or hobby. Travel. Buy your favourite sports team. Fund curing cancer. Sit on a beach. Play with your kids instead of working. Collect Ferraris. Why so miserable?

Cats are post traumatic women.

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

One of the joys of teaching writing is seeing students get better at it through consistent practice and a constant excavation of their selves to see what they care about and want to say. Humans can write perfectly formed sentences that say nothing, but that’s literally the best LLMs can produce.

when i was a kid we were still referred to as the 'unmeltable ethnics' and that included Jewish folks too -- because we were not becoming properly american. honestly embarrassed by some of my fellow italian- and irish- americans.

A thing that is funny about the moral grandstanding by Repubs re: Christopher Columbus is that nobody knew or cared about him 100 years ago. His "holiday" is barely 50 years old and was pushed through by Italian-American lobby groups in response to...anti-immigrant prejudice.

@rachelcrowl.net just won her 2nd #Obie, y'all. everything is terrible but #trans talent is still killing it.

Kao Kalia Yang at @literaryhub.bsky.social - "If they take me and leave the children." One of our great local writers at this moment of crisis.

This is infuriating. If you know anything about this area, lots of African community centers are in that corridor.

Two Black electeds attacked in the same week. Seek out and join up with groups in your community that are fighting fascism and racism and xenophobia and hatred. This will be one of our primary jobs for the rest of our lives.

My God am I tired of being angry and sad

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all. Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

nice piece about the early #trans internet and community making back in the day. i'll always be proud of the communities we created with the Betty Boards, providing space for trans people to talk about family and relationships. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new... thanks @assignedmedia.org !

NEW: One of Pope Leo XIV’s top U.S. allies, Cardinal Joseph Tobin, is calling for the defunding of ICE. Tobin says the “lawless organization” is a “machinery of death.” This marks the first time a senior Church leader has called for ICE to be defunded. More are expected in the coming days.

Boohoo Bovino

Salvatore's book on Eugene Debs, among others, was assigned to me by Jewel and Bernard Bellush, who told me to keep my copies safe as eventually someone would want to make them illegal. i still have mine. highly recommend. RIP to yet another of the citizen-scholar-journalists who raised me.

really good thoughtful thread about the impossibility of Pretti.
