Justice Brown Jackson's argument for birthright citizenship is very moving. I recommend reading it in full. An excerpt with alt-text below. “The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery.” — KBJ

junk mail is really weird because I'm pretty sure that if I paid someone to leave trash at somebody's house I would get in trouble

Last day of Pride + Caribbean Hertiage month! Thanks for boosting my post and buying my book🙏🏽 I'm hopeful next year Caribbean Hertiage Month will get some more visibility from the bigger SFFH outlets, like other heritage months. I'm still gonna be gay and Trini tomorrow :p Happy Pride! All the 🖤

Anyway, join the Left(s) where we may be neurotic but we are also creative and many of us have a sense of humor and whimsy.

He was militarily occupying my country when he was killed which is 100% within the right of any Lebanese under international law. It is, by definition, self-defence. Get the f- out of my country (And do y’all know what Israel does to ‘military’ dogs?)

Let's not forget that the people who protest over any sex scene usually hold a conservative stance and WILL sexualize any non-heterosexual interaction, be that a kiss or a long hug. Don't cede a single inch. You don't need to love sex scenes to understand that this eventually becomes censorship.

i cannot stress enough how much this man should not be the democratic presidential nominee

Congratulations, @premeemohamed.com! And the other nominees as well!

centrists love to be like “when are you socialists going to win regions and states that we centrists currently also don’t win”

Just a reminder that applications for the 2027 Salam Workshop in Lahore are open now! thesalamaward.com/the-salam-wo...

I'm sorry but for the people who really want to *celebrate 250*, there's absolutely nothing stopping folks from organizing local events. Hopefully those local events would also be actually honest about the histories. I don't care what the fascist in chief does.

Literally manifesting a united front against the will of their own constiuency with a swiftness and vigor they could not muster to even feign resistance to open fascism

Polarization is necessary in both organizing and in politics.

If you’re self identifying as a Democrat but saying with a straight face that DSA members hate America and the job of Dems is to support free marketism, you can just march your ass over to the GOP and be done with it

We need to adopt as a nation a politics of kindness and empathy and peace. And to do that we do as a nation unfortunately have to put a bunch of specific people in the ground

Still chuckling every time I see "hard" Left used to describe Democratic Socialists in the U.S. Just complete political illiteracy.

The wonderful @marisakabas.bsky.social let me go long on the grim historic parallels between the Prairieland defendants and 19th century America’s brutal repression—and execution—of anarchists, union organizers, and political dissidents. We are all antifa now. www.thehandbasket.co/p/haymarket-...

Anyway! The Goodreads giveaway for my upcoming fantaspionage novel WICKHILLS has four days left and fifty copies to be won! (USA only, sorry! There will be a US + Canada one later!) www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

*we need moderates* is one of the most hilarious slogans when living under federal fascism...

No one should mistake that not only did the vast majority of these defendants do *nothing but show up to a protest* but several are trans women who will now spend the rest of their lives being tortured by the state. This was targeted. This was a show trial.

HELL YEA, BRAD!!!!

boooo prime. boooooooooo prime. booooooooooooooo prime. booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. get out of here, prime. undertowpublications.com/shop/uncerta... bookshop.org/p/books/unce...

I don’t want to hear another word from establishment Dems about cooperating with Republicans. Don’t want to see another stupid bipartisan photo about “seersucker suit day” on the Hill. Nine people who protested ICE at a detention camp were just sentenced to 50-100 years in prison. WAKE TF UP.

The ideology in question is opposing fascism. This horrific action is a shot across the bow at all of us—everyone who cares about their neighbors, who dares to dream of a better world, who opposes ICE terror and authoritarian repression. We cannot allow the state to disappear them.

Israel is still committing a genocide in Gaza. A UN inquiry found that the IDF is deliberately targeting Palestinian children. The genocidal army remains obsessively focused on making sure as many Palestinian children as possible suffer. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Actual radicals know to explicitly deplatform Nazis. The idea that everyone starts off deplatformed and has to earn a platform via proper politics is an authoritarian notion, even if "proper politics" are defined as liberal politics.

People keep acting like the fascists care about "crime." THEY DO NOT. They care about domination & fear. They will fearmonger re: "crimes" committed by out groups while cheering on the "crimes" committed by "their people" Meanwhile liberals keep bleating on about hypocrisy when hierarchy matters.

if you could pre-order my book i would appreciate it so much

honestly i welcome the data center lobby just openly saying climate goals needed to be trashed so the tech industry can build ai — intense heat waves, record forest fires, worsening natural disasters be damned

That time Amy Goodman and I interviewed Alan Greenspan about the failure of trickle down economics, his role creating the 2008 financial collapse and the oligarch class, as well as his support for the invasion of Iraq and of shock therapy in Russia. He was mad. www.democracynow.org/2007/9/24/al...

This is a very interesting read grounded in history. www.theguardian.com/inequality/n...

can we say yes AND: people are fucking tired. they are tired of voting for people who tell them to settle for a party with no discernable values or commitment to improving people's lives. they are tired of being told we have to chum up to the other side, that we can't say no to fucking GENOCIDE..

"Expecting me to read books and look up words is discriminatory" is for sure a viewpoint that crops up online, and it's very important to make fun of it every time

I've been thinking it would be fun to interview fiction authors about the research that they put into work, partly because I always find it fascinating and partly because the fact that some writers use AI to skip research makes me puke in my mouth. Are there people that would want to read this?

I’m an writer and I don’t use AI because, as you might recall my mentioning earlier, I’m a writer.

the Kyiv Pride march today is led by Ukrainian queer soldiers and vets carrying pictures and names of queer Ukrainian heroes killed while fighting homophobic russian empire. Ukraine fights for a better, dignified future for all of us.

Like his bosses, Trump and Vance, Bessent hates Zelensky. They all lash out helplessly because they can't make him bend the knee. History will judge them harshly.

US Is Terrorizing Its Own Citizens With “Less-Lethal” Weapons, Victim Says truthout.org/articles/us-...

1/ Happy Juneteenth! How a Texas emancipation commemoration spread across the US is an amazing story. But Juneteenth wasn’t the first Black Freedom Day in America—or the only one of its day. So, let’s talk about em’. Pictured: Martha Yates Jones and Pinkie V Yates, Houston Juneteenth, 1908 | HPL

Almost all of the Black touchstones uplifted in the US were avowed socialists and Communists and I always find this so funny. So many people including some Black people elide this fact.
