Poet, editor, curator, Anishinaabe kwe.
I would like to tell you the wild dream I had this morning, but then you would all know that I watched that m-fer and The Great and sitcoms set in 1990's NYC before scrolling my suddenly quite queer socials. And I couldn't do that.

Seems like a problem that most every smart liberal and left wing writer, researcher, analyst, and NGO worker I know is unemployed, grossly underpaid, or in a super unstable job, while a bunch of 20 year old Nazis with the talent and expertise of ass hair are getting paid $300K to post on Twitter.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

If the sworn statements are provided, and they're lies, that's perjury for whoever signed them. If they're not provided, that's contempt. And if they're provided, and they're truthful, and they reveal lawbreaking, that's a sworn admission of guilt.

1. Today, powerful speeches from trans representatives in Montana SJ Howell and Zooey Zephyr flipped 29 Republicans, killing anti-trans bills. While some Dems like Newsom abandon trans people, these reps show the power of representation. Watch their speech. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Transgender Reps Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell delivered powerful speeches on the Montana House floor on Thursday. Republicans defected en masse to join them in voting against anti-trans bills.

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Shutdown. Went to the writers town hall where the convo on lack of visible diversity in the group was shut down with an actual wave of the hand. Nothing has made me feel more hopeless about what we can do as writers.

Amid news that DOGE is shutting down the agency that runs the National Center for Education Statistics, our team at
@brookings.edu
has a new report out that shows the importance of higher education data, and why it needs to be improved, not gutted:

Federal data vastly undercount Native American college students. New federal standards could change that.
The challenge of measuring Native American students’ educational access and success is made even more difficult by the poor quality of higher education data.

Hear me out — If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is. Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.

We're told 36x in the Torah to love the stranger. We're taught that Abraham & Moses argued, loudly, with God, & the latter successfully swayed God's behavior. And, btw, the story of Sodom isn't what Christians teach; it's about people who'd become so venal they would let ppl die rather help. 10/
