today on my blog, I wrote an op-ed about the history of lynching, and why its extrajudicial nature is so aptly documented by Black journalists like Georgia Fort and Black activists like Nekima Levy-Armstrong the-haters-guide-to-international-politics.ghost.io/on-lynchings...

I am thrilled that my poem, Grief Take Down, has found its home in the magazine, Howl and Hold, Issue#2 Altars. I am so grateful to EIC, Lori Zaspel.

“In an age when conspiracy theories are able to inspire and incite such wanton political violence, it is more important than ever that our schools equip the next generation with the truth, free from bias, and without prejudice, in order to protect our democracy,”

Really, @robertreich.substack.com.web.brid.gy has been 💯% right about pretty much everything for FIFTY years. Maybe he knows a thing or two that merit your attention?

As families come together to light the kinara, Jen and I wish all those celebrating a joyful Kwanzaa.   May the seven principles of Kwanzaa, in particular community, purpose, and unity, guide our way toward a better future.   Happy Kwanzaa, California!

Thank you CB🤖❤️🦋

Congrats, Miami, on the win! Eileen Higgins has won the 2025 mayoral election becoming the city’s first Democratic mayor in 30 years. And a huge thank-you to all the poll workers and volunteers who made it possible! 💙🌊

Tell Congress it's time to evict Kristi Noem.

“Thank you for the compliment, Mr. President, now back to my question… “. AND every reporter needs to follow suit and keep asking the, “stupid” question. Interrupt him! Do not allow him to continue this … STAND UP

If only he was just a clown, “a CON”

I spoke in Warren County, Indiana tonight. The organizer of the event said they usually have around 30 folks who come to their holiday supper. Tonight there were 150 people there. Things are changing. Especially in red states.

I turned off the news for 1 day to give myself a break, and came back to this. wtf is going on now?

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

Police Chief Brian O’Hara has delivered a blunt message to his department: If an officer witnesses ICE agents using illegal force and fails to step in, they will be fired. 👏 👏 👏

Rep. Grijalva says she was pepper-sprayed by ICE

Protect our babies!

As many expected, the truth is finally coming out, they were just fishermen. The family of the Colombian man killed in the Sept. 15 U.S. military strike in the Caribbean Sea has now filed a formal complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, alleging

Celebrating the first snow day of the season by painting some new birches. Y’all got me excited for them again 😆. 16”x20” oil on canvas #art #painting #trees

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Since I haven’t seen anyone mention this: When the U.S. commits war crimes it puts our troops in danger also, as it gives a green light to other countries that they can do the same to us

Read this today: data4democracy.substack.com/p/buy-borrow... These laws need to CHANGE! ...and then discovered, I'm already following: @adambonica.bsky.social Love it when that happens.

Rosalía's voice used to bother me because it sounds auto-tuned. In this album, her voice is unleashed, soaring, and most Catalán, especially in "Mundo Nuevo."

Nobody should expect you to read everything, especially not everything that is thematically or technically difficult. Of course I will gladly talk with you about those books. As shared experiences, they have value, and... They have characters other readers want you to meet. You're invited 💌📚

No child should go hungry simply because their parents are immigrants. As mayor, I’ll join @newyorkstateag.bsky.social in using every lever of government for the families who fear if they can afford tomorrow’s meals.

Yes, the fuhrer has banned World AIDS Day, &, just in time, I'll be in this nation’s crooked capital to read from TERRY DACTYL at Politics & Prose on… World AIDS Day! Yes, 7 pm on Monday, December 1, please spread the word!!💐 Masks strongly encouraged, let's take care of one another💕See you soon💕

I wish all figures of authority cared about moms and babies. But some don’t. Some even want you to hurt. And those are the people who cast doubt on the vaccination miracle that has allowed so many of us to live longer and better. kentuckylantern.com/2025/11/25/t...

Just imagine Mike Johnson’s face when we get this done. Tell Congress to force a vote on extending ACA tax credits!

Great question circulating widely on social media. But Phatpiggy calls people in the US military ''LOSERS'' remember⁉️

NO IT HASN'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On this day in 1981, #SoftCell released their debut studio album, "Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret". The album's success was bolstered by the popularity of the cover version of #GloriaJones song "Tainted Love", which topped the charts worldwide and became the second best-selling British single of 1981.

I think my favorite thing about this #BookList is the variety! #BookSky I’ve read some, my kids have read some, some are on hold at the library, some are on my wishlist… lots are familiar but lots are new too! apps.npr.org/best-books/#...

Fear is contagious, but so is COURAGE! Listen to these messages from across the country thanking @houlahan.house.gov of Pennsylvania, one of the veterans reminding service members they need not follow unlawful orders. Thank you, Congresswoman! 🫡🇺🇸❤️
