Thanks to @tilleckert.com @propublica.org for sticking with Ms. Moreta-Galarza today until she was discharged.

"the menswear guy isn't fair and balanced." do you even hear yourself? "fork lady is eroding public confidence." "ladder baby is undermining the credibility of the field." "lemon raccoon is acting without transparency or accountability." that's what you sound like.

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep 1. Children's lit but specifically YA of the 2010s 2. Spotted hyenas and other maligned apex predators 3. Softball and women's baseball

My birthday was September 12th and I bet you didn't even get me anything did you

Maggie Thatcher is unamused

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

It's genuinely insane that this isn't a bigger news story. Where the fuck are they Where the FUCK are they

I looked into the group and the guy pushing the FBI to create a new designation of “transgender ideology–inspired violence and extremism”—itself a political project, meant to conflate the fact of trans people’s existence with extremism.

Whoa. The school board porn meeting guy who wants to force bibles and TPUSA clubs into OK schools is quitting his job to pursue his true passion of “destroying teachers’ unions.”

I need help getting this CRAZY censorship story out! Last week, admins in Leander ISD emailed teachers telling them to “pause” use of 40 books relating to “DEI” that had previously been curriculum or choice reading activities. Included on the list? To Kill a Mockingbird. #bookbans #booksky

America 2025. Please Don’t Offend The White Supremacists

a reminder that erasing queerness from public life is a mandate of Project 2025, framing us all as sex offenders. so for those who call ppl who offer full throated defense of trans ppl "single issue voters" or "purity test" voters, let this be your reminder that this is where that argument leads us

I am doing proofs on a picture book I have coming out next year (What Do People Do All Day at the Science Museum) and I forgot about this little joke and you know what, I love it good job maggie of the past this still makes me giggle

The insistence on arguing about “both sides” while our country descends into fascism is a real choice.

I will not link to it. I just want to reiterate that thousands of books have been banned by the right. And American Dirt sold millions of copies.

"Calling for civility is about exerting power. It is a way of reminding the powerless that they exist at the will of those in power and should act accordingly. It is a demand for control." Gift link. I suggest library world reads this. And listens. 📚 www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/o...

This is going to be so hot it will burn your cerebral cortex off, then replace it with an upgraded cerebral cortex that works at twice the speed but makes random errors thirty percent of the time. Which is totally worth it.

Yes, conservatives have been using a lot of "they did this" talk right now that's dangerous and bad And also Nice to know they're perfectly capable of using they/them pronouns after all.

HAPPY SPREAD ME DAY TO THOSE WHO SPREAD

I am also really excited for this. I hate that this book feels so relevant in this moment, but I am so grateful to the librarians of Idaho for choosing it and giving me (and the Friends of Minidoka) a chance to speak on it. Join us if you can!

NEW — I wrote about my confirmed scoop from last night that Disney hastened Kimmel's return because of a planned Disney+ streaming price increase announcement coming on Tuesday:

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

To support writers who have been targeted, we’ve created a guide on what to do if you’ve been doxed or placed on a watchlist. Please share it with anyone who needs it: pen.org/what-to-do-i... (2/2)

If you're a cis person who wants to be kind to your trans and nonbinary friends right now, please do not forward us links to stories about trans people being abused, having their rights taken away, or living in fear. We already know. A friendly "hey I hope you're OK" is much more helpful. 💖

I am also really excited for this. I hate that this book feels so relevant in this moment, but I am so grateful to the librarians of Idaho for choosing it and giving me (and the Friends of Minidoka) a chance to speak on it. Join us if you can!

Super excited for tonight's virtual session with @maggietokudahall.bsky.social and the Friends of Minidoka for the Idaho Center for the Book's 2025 Great Reads! Register here: boisestate.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Selling this was only ever about limiting the ability to see Palestinians being murdered in real time. This has been laid bare, but it no longer matters, and they China will now transfer ownership to a series of purveyors of the American surveillance state, and war crimes will no longer be visible.

Proud to announce our unnamed tech partners tracked the cell phone locations of hundreds of thousands of people without their knowledge or consent

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Do... Christians think the rapture is happening tomorrow or

the first time you put makeup on after a long, long time is so powerful. you’re like oh right i’m hot.

When kids just fuckin lose it at the end of the day <<<<

it is amazing how many of these guys love to make tough boastful statements then at the slightest sign of pushback back away like little bitches

Shaun King is a fantastic example of how supposed white liberals will cling to a grifter that validates them far sooner and with more ferocity than side with the Black and Brown folks trying to actually educate them.

I had to explain *last night* to a family member who is a former journalist and well informed that Antifa is an ideology, and not a merry band of hooligans disrupting peaceful marches at every turn. Next time I think I will broach the, "actually you are Antifa, too, if you really think about it."

I know I am not the first person to recommend this book to you, but in a moment when it feels like having a conscience is only a cruel burden this book has served for me as a gorgeous reminder of its necessity. Gorgeously written, starkly clear. bookshop.org/p/books/one-...

"Pain only hurts" is the hardest line of this interview

A man caged by ICE was found dead in his cell inside a Long Island jail 18 hours after arriving there.

Big enough shake to actually wake me up in Oakland, CA

Hey @governor.ca.gov if you want all that good "fighting Trump" cred please make like Pritzker.

The difference between fascism taking over or being forced to recede is in the nature of the opposition

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

They can kill millions of people, and they might, but if the goal is to make it illegal to make fun of authority figures, I'm really sorry, it's never gonna happen for you. Have you met teens, have you tried going up to teens and saying it's illegal to laugh at me, a grown-up who has authority

“I see protest as a genuine means of encouraging someone to feel the inconsistencies, the horror, of the lives we are living. Social protest is to say that we do not have to live this way." — Audre Lorde

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.
