My current PoeS.A project is "JustUs," a crowd-sourced poem on justice. My work is supported by a Camille Gage memorial fellowship. I loved and admired Camille and so this is a great honor. She always met moments of injustice with art-in-action. I'm humbled by her memory.

"Perhaps no one ever told you that we are all beloved of the earth, that she asks only that we love her in return." The Letters from #Minnesota in @literaryhub.bsky.social are flat-out beautiful, y'all. Be sure to check them out when you need to fill your tank. lithub.com/letter-from-...

WE ALREADY HAVE OUR THIRD PARTY. WE ARE IT: “They’re never going to run for office, and those grass-roots leaders brought this administration to their knees this week to do something about it. So there’s other ways to serve, and I’ll find them,” Gov. Tim Walz, the 2024 Democratic VP nominee.

Pickle Rick ftw

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

There is a grave moral consequence to letting this go on. Shut down the government, have a general strike, grind the country to a halt, hit the streets. But not treating a demented administration lying about its thugs committing cold-blooded murder as an emergency? That is an emergency in itself.

Make it viral.

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.

In July I had the pleasure of collaborating with @heideerdrich.bsky.social and Kim Blaeser on a poem inspired by Sky Hopinka’s work. You can watch us read the poem on YouTube and read the text at MoMA Magazine youtu.be/SBReR5dkaXU?...

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.

@heideerdrich.bsky.social’s Verb Animate — a nice take by @davigray.bsky.social 💛💜😀💜

Feeling pretty merciless and savage today.

Something good has come about!

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.

Say. This.

Y’all, Amazon is bad for writers, bad for publishers, bad for customers, bad for workers. bad for democracy. Would be wonderful if we could break its stranglehold.

It's March. Let's March.

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.

Even if that's true, which I very much doubt, the $ should go back into the Social Security trust fund. It's *not* a budget item expenditure.

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.

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.

New books by two poets with SO much fire have been keeping me warm this winter. Congratulations to @heideerdrich.bsky.social and Jan Beatty! @triohousepress.bsky.social @upittpress.bsky.social

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.

Dear Federal Government, here are some of my accomplishments this week: - I drank a whiskey drink - I drank a vodka drink - I drank a lager drink - I drank a cider drink - I sang the songs that remind me of the good times

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.

"The rules of haircare are simple and finite." Rules. Simple. Finite. Elle Woods should be on the Supreme Court.

Lords of COBOL purge us of ancient fraudsters!

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: www.brookings.edu/articles/fed...

My 72-hour deodorant is only lasting 12 these days.

I love to play-play too much. Where are the Ts nutz jokes?

Omfg those of you who still can, ward them off with tampons. It seems the only thing they fear.
