This is unacceptable in a region as rich as ours. Just horrible.

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

three more days three more days three more days three more days

bad week to be from my hometown damn

The Winter Olympics are so metal that they looked at skiing and were like, “This isn’t hard enough. Let’s add guns.”

On a similar note, as Mamdani continues to notch W after W you’re going to start seeing opinion pieces about how this could never work in any city other than New York, etc., etc. Do not engage! It’s just entrenched power bullshit and that’s all! Don’t let them make that a conversation!

"Get off Facebook!" not when I can post political memes that are slowly but surely changing my parents' perspectives in ways that direct conversations can't (because they get defensive)

Why does Paul omit the commandment to love God? Gal 5:14 the entire law is fulfilled in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself"

Are we paying our taxes this year or…

So annoying when my coffee maker exhales like a man

the choice seems stark, do you want to live in this joyful kind of world or the one inflicted on us on parasites and grifters

Why tf is ICE in Milan for the Olympics? they should ban the US from the games

Every time I read a new release and the acknowledgement affirm “no AI” I just instantly feel so depressed that authors have to say that at all. Pulls me out of my dreamy, just-finished-a-great-book haze and slams me back down to reality. I hate it.

The "President" of the United States, now overtly expressing his acute, imbecilic racism and directing it at his predecessor on a social media platform he controls and owns, has to resign. Go. Get out, you grotesque slime

You just have to keep doing your work. There's a lot to do.

I once had a cat that came and went as he pleased through a window the we always kept open for him. But when the weather was bad he would ask us to open the door to let him out because he thought it might be better there.

I have a new girlhood as werewolf story out in @maudlinhouse.bsky.social today. Give it a read? maudlinhouse.net/when-we-haun...

January 6 was the worst day of my life. But the threat of Donald Trump didn’t end when the mob left the Capitol. That’s why I’m running for Congress: to defend this country, with the full constitutional authority of Congress. I’m Harry Dunn. And I’m ready to finish the job.

will the piece mention that one of the free press founders is in the files, robby?

I am nostalgic for understimulation

I don't know how this event is tomorrow already, but it is, so register today to join us! Three amazing poets! NAWP!

Going to AWP?? I’ll be reading at an offsite event with @yellowarrowpub.bsky.social! Hope you can stop by!

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

Look I can offer you awkward silence or awkward conversation the choice is yours

My poem “Sijo for Billionaires,” from my collection Time Travel Is Easy (2025). Apropos of nothing.

At another point in American history, loosely regulated federal agents violently removed people from their homes or grabbed them off the streets. They were called “slave catchers.” newyorkermag.visitlink.me/_IFnLB

Ohio State University sending a very clear message by having their first “diversity of thought” event given by two white guys, one of whom already has a platform for his conservative views in the New York Times while the other has been accused of sexual assault and is on an anti-trans crusade

stumbled upon a bad omen first thing this morning.

The Trump Administration is full of liars. Full stop. People are following the law, showing up to court, and are still being detained without explanation. This is not law enforcement — it’s racism and abuse of power.

White supremacy requires us to remain loyal to our whiteness in order to be afforded the protections of said whiteness. You stand with immigrants, Black and brown folks? You forfeit those privileges and no longer receive those protections, and you will perhaps be shot in the street as a result

True leadership. AOC.

NBA star Tyrese Halliburton speaks out

I cannot imagine the devastation this family is experiencing today. This statement is powerful and must be read.

It seems clear Alex Pretti, a healthcare worker, was murdered for engaging in the exact kind of community care we hope all care workers to embody: the kind that doesn’t stop at the threshold of the hospital, the clinic, but that aims to care for and support the community where and how they can

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Watching this old man take a water bottle and slowly walk into a mist of tear gas is going to stay with me. Everything they do to make people scared empowers them all the more.

ICE is executing protesters the right way. by Ezra Klein

Arrests calmly ongoing. This is going to take a while. There are a lot of clergy risking arrest.

As clergy pray, arrests begin

Police have arrived. Arrests seem imminent. The crowd chants “let them pray” and “Minnesota nice means prosecute ICE”

Oh baby I am WEARY

Animal advocates are racing to rescue more than 200 dogs from a rural Mississippi property before a massive winter storm is set to hit the country Friday.

I spent six months with Nato troops in Afghanistan – Trump’s wrong

Baby's first AWP offsite. Come listen, read, shop, and pitch me a piece of writing in person, all in an amazing setting in the inner harbor. Register for freeeee at StanchionZine.com/awp

The full story from my colleagues: www.inquirer.com/politics/nat...

I just voted HELL NO to giving ICE a single penny. Congress should not be funding an agency that has terrorized our communities, kidnapped our neighbors, and killed people on the street with impunity. We must abolish ICE and end qualified immunity for ICE agents NOW.

When it comes to vaccines, there should be no confusion or politics involved. That’s why we’re introducing the Vax Act – so Maryland can issue its own health recommendations and guarantee recommended vaccines are fully covered by insurance. https://youtube.com/shorts/8ao8_d_iE1U

Quality performance art. Easy to parse, thematically relevant, kinda gross. Love it.
