I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

I am heartbroken! This is what our children are going through! This has to end!

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

I just moved FROM Texas TO New York. Can I get a reverse tariff??

if democrats are serious about winning they need to learn from tonight and convert to islam

Normal people are just sick to fucking death of the cruelty and meanness

“What keeps us going, ultimately, is our love for each other, and our refusal to bow our heads, to accept the verdict, however all-powerful it seems. It’s what ordinary people have to do. You have to love each other. You have to defend each other. You have to fight.” —Mike Davis

yes, this is the actual purpose of policing.

It's perfect

Today, a coalition of seven charitable foundations announced the launch of the Literary Arts Fund, a historic philanthropic investment of at least $50 million to strengthen the nonprofit literary arts field in the U.S.

People across the country are fighting for their lives and also to protect their neighbors. They are doing so in the 100s of thousands every single day. You can choose to join the fight or you can pretend that "no one is doing anything."

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

There are laws about how to interdict suspected criminals on the high seas. There are laws about how to renovate federal buildings. There are laws about how not to monetize the presidency. There are laws. We should enforce them. And not normalize the flagrant violation of them in the newspapers.

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.

everybody dance ♥️

Du Bois basically did a version of this in his bibliography in Black Reconstruction

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

A decade ago, when our team at Humane World for Animals Korea began its breakthrough efforts to close dog meat farms in South Korea, we were told that achieving a ban on the dog meat industry in the country would be impossible. www.humaneworld.org/en/blog/how-...

I don't understand why U.S. reporters so regularly seem to let politicians get away with 'I haven't seen that' about stuff a) they obviously know and b) is directly relevant to their job. Did they sign some kind of agreement never to ask a follow-up question?

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

Someone got fired for saying some tame stuff like maybe if you spew hate, hate will be come back to you. But this guy? He won't be fired because there are no standards for conservatives

My take-home message is that mainstream white America doesn’t think white supremacy makes him an awful person

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

Why are these morons acting like he was their MLK
