Practicing as a public defender in NYC for a decade is why my position is Abolish ICE and not reform it. I have seen what "reform" looks like in an overfunded organization that feels (and largely is) immune from legal consequences. You cannot reform an institution this broken.

My favorite mother’s day cartoon from the stupendous @rosemarymosco.com

"Black people should just leave the South!" is the same as "Trans people should just leave red states!" is the same as "Palestinians should just move to Egypt or Jordan!" is the same as "Lebanese people shouldn't live near Israel's border!"

I am a little curious about the best place for my son to start his education in the movies of India. (He's enthusiastic as a viewer and open to just about anything). What's a good film to start with?

Earlier today, it was revealed that DOJ was investigating this reporter for her previous unflattering expose on Patel’s drinking. This is the best possible response: another expose of his embarrassing behavior. Kick his ass, Sarah.

I know this is all bullshit, but I'm getting real fucking tired of people choosing not to listen because of "vocabulary" or "jargon" or "theory." Buy a dictionary, read a book, ask a fucking question, GO TO THE FUCKING LIBRARY.

“Not for rinsing or washing,” they said. (Seen at Union Station.)

We don't talk enough about Iain Sinclair's run on Captain Britain.

This. There are people for whom depression is a one-off event, and there are people for whom it is a chronic illness. I'm one of the latter. And I've tried--really tried--to go off those meds. I thought getting on proper ADHD meds would fix me. And, well, they helped with the ADHD, but--

Jimmy Breslin said Rudy Giuliani was “a small man in search of a balcony.” It doesn’t get any better than that.

THEY NEEDED TO DO A RESEARCH TO REVEAL THIS BASIC FACT THAT PRACTICALLY ANYONE TO THE LEFT OF CHUCK SCHUMER COULD HAVE TOLD THEM

Her comic strip starring wise-cracking, cigarette-smoking, cat-loving, middle-aged freelance writer ran in newspapers around the country for more than three decades.

What we really ought to be talking about is why they keep administering the MCA to Trump.

I love when Chickadee sits with her paws like this, she looks so polite.

Finally, some good news: workers at Hachette are unionizing, and you can sign an open letter of support. This is the way! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

A lot of people are getting way too comfortable reposting Substack links with AI art just because the articles are "critical of Empire"

Okay, fellow writers: all of us need to do at least one retelling of the Frog and the Scorpion this year because this keeps happening

Leave a comment for the FCC, they want to warn ppl when a show contains a trans character. Your comment doesn't have to be long, you can literally just say it's discriminatory, offensive and absurd. In the first box put: 19-41. More info in this thread.

Hey there Bluesky, if you read my interview with @soengery.bsky.social you know we talked about the Veiled Prophet in St. Louis. Well guess what, @haymarketbooks.org has a book out this June on the whole thing: www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2770-t...

We won. Tesla Chicago is closed. Their new location is in a ghost town. They sacrificed visibility to thousands/day--& proximity to the other luxury car dealerships--to get away from us, because we'd turned their brand ambassador location into a liability. Organizing works. @teslatakedown.com
