BREAKING: Deaths in ICE detention are causing international strife, with the Mexican government calling for an investigation into deaths in detention.

I just sent this email to the news director at NBC4 Washington about the unprofessional and disrespectful way they handled publishing the body camera footage of the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that was obtained via my FOIA lawsuit:

Please note that the word "men" appears nowhere in this statement. We know who commits the vast, overwhelming percentage of violence against women and girls.

For the cheap seats, in the back: any policy that is supported by the American Petroleum Institute is not a climate policy.

“Anovaeon, based at a residential address in San Antonio, was added in October 2025 to WEXMAC TITUS, a DoD contracting vehicle…originally created to allow rapid contractor deployment in response to international disasters, bypassing the traditional federal bidding process.”

Chemical warfare....

You know we've already had International Women's Day in Australia, right? This year I want all men to give up their patriarchal privileges, quit mansplaining, and make me a sandwich. Or bring me an icecream. #IWD2026

“Every single new technology ends up being leveraged to surveil and punish women" #IWD2026

Name the perpetrators. It's not Grok. It's men.

It's International Women's Day! It's a day to be feminist as fuck, so here are a few of my favourite blog posts (written by me) on this theme. #IWD2026 #WomenInSTEM

*Alysa Liu voice* that's what I'm fucking talking about

Happy International Women's Day! I'm going to celebrate it by existing and calling for an end to mansplaining.

This happened. The print interview was edited in ways that feel very jumpy, but I got to say some things. Like: Maybe changing the world is more like caregiving than it is like war. Too many people still expect it to look like war. [and then there's a crazy jump-cut w/out transition.]

Rachel Maddow called Bill a genius of exposition. Which rings true to me. Who else finds such clear, concise, vivid ways to sum up where we are and where we could and should be?

'CHRISTIAN, n. One who believes that the New Testament is a divinely inspired book admirably suited to the spiritual needs of his neighbor. One who follows the teachings of Christ in so far as they are not inconsistent with a life of sin.' - Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary, 1911

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors. My report:

oh no big deal... just got to interview the legendary @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social :') read a snippet of our interview in my newsletter this week. the full conversation will be out in the fall www.possibilities.news/womens-histo...

If you understand the implications of this, I don’t know how you’re not terrified for our kids.

Cannot tell you how depressing it is to read that people are simply refusing to read nonfiction after you’ve worked really hard to write a nonfiction book you believe in, in case anyone is wondering why I’m posting so much about my book which comes out in a few weeks #BookSky

My senior year of college, my roommate‘s best friend killed herself. I had seen her in the dining hall the day before, beautiful as always, and apparently vibrant. You never know what’s going on with people — remember that when you go out of your way to be cruel.

Steve-O was on Joe Rogan's show trying to defend trans people and Rogan went off, he called trans people "fucking perverts" and "mass shooters" who have done the majority of school shootings. Completely unhinged bigotry paid for by your Spotify subscriptions.

It is horrific that Palestinian students from Gaza, admitted to Canadian universities, are not being granted student visas to Canada. Amidst an ongoing genocide and occupation, denying Palestinian students is continuation of same violence and anti-Palestinian racism. truthout.org/articles/can...

AI slop not beating the “aesthetic of fascism” allegations

A woman with Long Covid won almost one million dollars in a lawsuit against her employer who refused to allow her work from home accommodations. May this set a precedent. Remote work should be accessible to all who need it. It’s a game changer for people with disabilities.

Let's get this on Michigan's to-do list and put some public money into giving them away. Maybe don't underwrite sports stadiums?

I don't think anyone, or this piece, is blaming individual activists. It's asking where the Democrats, climate foundations, etc are and why they all folded so fast

A bit odd given the Director has claimed he is very concerned about the young investigators. www.notus.org/health-scien...

or we could buy homes to permanently house the houseless, etc....sigh

AI art will continue to be ineligible for copyright after SCOTUS refuses to hear the case brought by the same man whose previous appeal for patents was also rejected.

Trump administration won't help Americans get out of the Middle East, but will make sure that oil and gas companies get their products out with a naval escort?

Stephanie Hartman is a piece of work. FDEM building a goddamn concentration camp *and* with hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars going to private contractors — some with ties to state politicians — is about as fucking “newsworthy” as it gets, girl!

SCOOP: An internal DHS document obtained by 404 Media shows for the first time CBP used location data sourced from the online advertising industry to track phone locations. This surveillance can happen through all sorts of apps, such as video games, news apps, weather trackers, and dating apps.

My entire life the systematic murder and incarceration of Black people has been a daily norm that just runs in the background of American life and has been perpetuated by every major institution and publication and when you talk to or about Black folks you need to take into account that context

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

Saturday was amazing. I taped what will be my 3rd standup album & 1st special , recorded over 2 sold out (slightly sweaty) shows. @wkamaubell one of my oldest & best friends in comedy for 20 years opened the show & talked me through floor time.

This is respectfully disingenuous beginning with which viewpoints they overwhelmingly choose to platform and hire on the opinion side. In addition to that, there's a difference between sharing viewpoints you disagree with and sharing viewpoints that are based in lies.
