While he was detained at Dilley for over four months, 13-year-old Gustavo Santiago said he felt as if he would “never get out.” “I just ask that you don’t forget about us,” he told ProPublica in a video call.

Just raging insanity. And no one in the room says anything.

Astonishing.

This is the worst administration in the history of America… mans found the absolute turds of the Empire www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/b...

*breaks promise to self not to make any political donations ever again

The raging mendacity of it all. Too much.

😭😭😭😭

With just four months until Election Day, we're kicking off our volunteer program! Join me and fellow NY-10 neighbors tomorrow night: www.mobilize.us/landerforcon...

There’s only 1 person in Congress who doesn’t trade stocks, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. That’s me. And it should be the standard.

On President’s Day, the First Amendment Troop staged “ResistDance” — a tribute and act of artistic dissent — at the Lincoln Memorial. ❤️ #FirstAmendment #ArtisticExpression

In a sane and democratic country, all major media would have a standing spot on their broadcast and front pages for the daily ravings of the lunatic president. Most Americans have no idea he does this. But, of course, in a sane democracy, this man would have been removed by now.

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

His special on fascism in Europe last year was a big wake-up call.

"Elon Musk is a white supremacist" is an objectively 100% true statement that most mainstream outlets wouldn't allow to be said without hedging or qualification even in an opinion piece.

Acclaimed mezzo soprano Denyce Graves took a final bow last month and is pivoting to teaching the next generation. She performed on the world’s top opera stages for more than 40 years. Such a brilliant, beautiful person. And now she's speaking about the racism she faced. #Opera #Classical #BHM

Again: astonishing how many people will grovel and humiliate themselves.

F-ing monsters.

Trump & his goons are weaponizing the DOJ against anyone who disagrees with them. They're trying to silence any dissent. But the tide is turning. The American people are speaking up and fighting back.

Returning to Stanford to give a reading, which is never just a reading for me...I'm sure I'll have many opinions to give about the state of our nation and the role of writing in relationship to speaking truths.

Sometimes I fear my head will explode from the raging injustice and unfairness of this world. My head or my heart.

History repeats itself.

Read this.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

I took down my Ring awhile back and trashed it. Y'all can just frickin knock on the door. I'll hear you.

USA! USA! youtu.be/hYTQ7__NNDI?...

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

Okay, I uploaded the entirety of "The Oddfather" to my website, copyright be damned, because THE WORLD NEEDS TO SEE IT: josie.zone/the-oddfather

I rolled my eyes at the vid from The Sociopath b/c, as Stokely taught us, racism is not a question of attitude, it's a question of power, and it's the power the Racist-in-Chief holds which worries me. But the video did make his racism undeniable to folk like this www.theguardian.com/film/2026/fe...

Devastating

A rainbow, a family portrait, a heart. These are the drawings found in handwritten letters we received from children detained at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center:

In case you missed the moment. Art is powerful

Yeah but tomorrow's the SUPER BOWL!

Pacific Northwest Ballet looks like America. Boston Ballet looks like Boston. Go Seahawks or whatever

I just read that J. Edgar Hoover may have been white passing and when you look at this early photo of him you are like "duh." Whew. Man. Internalized anti-Blackness is a helluva drug.

The whole world is watching.

This is so embarrassing--for them, not us. They don't realize that this form of racism doesn't upset us because we know it springs from impotence.

Do you just love this guy or what

Well. You learn something new, heartbreaking and racist everyday.

The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago The unthinkable comes to Pa. coal country. My special report www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Every day is more absurd. And more dangerous.

People really reveal themselves.
