This week, the Supreme Court finally killed off the Voting Rights Act of 1965. I've spent the past decade studying the VRA and the attacks on it, so I thought I would offer some historical perspective, and where I think we're headed. This will be a long thread; buckle up.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

A previously uncirculated (to my knowledge) 5,000-word interview with Emmett Grogan by journalist Linda Gaboriau in the wake of the 1972 publication of his third-person autobio/roman a clef, RINGOLEVIO. Something of a coda to that work, I think. diggersdocs.org/2026/03/29/f...

When this is all over and we’ve had the trials and the sentencing this sacred bit of cardboard should be framed and mounted in the National Gallery of Art

Been slammo so only just now getting round to last month’s MOJO and @andrewmale.bsky.social ‘s essay on electric Miles is just sublime, just stupidly good, at the end I sighed and whimpered “I wish I could write that good”. Just the best.

R.I.P. Éliane Radigue, one of the most innovative and radical composers of our century- if you haven’t heard her music yet, prepare for something simultaneously delicate and oceanic. I don’t love the word “genius” but she deserves it.

When Ds are back in charge, they have to change everything. No moderate half-measures. Just relentless razing of the corrupt institutions that enriched the worst people in the world and propped up fascism. A few suggestions...

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

if Biden had said this it would be a nonstop media cycle but since it’s Trump we need to instead do diner safaris to racism township, Pennsylvania to talk about how this is smart politics because it appeals to the forgotten man

🚨 Epstein survivors release this powerful PSA in advance of the Super Bowl demanding answers from the Justice Department. This is the Super Bowl ad every American should see. Spread it everywhere.

"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

20% of the students at Justice Page Middle School in SW Minneapolis are attending remotely b/c they're terrified to leave their homes. Their families can't work & rent is past due. Parents at Justice Page are trying to raise 100k to cover the needs of 50+ families — can we raise 10k of it? ⬇️⬇️⬇️

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
