I did not expect Klay to fumble like that.

Activist & organizer LaTosha Brown shares a hauntingly powerful essay examining how we celebrate the memories of men who commit violence against women And how we overlook the women whose lives were erased.

Wait, whut?

Said this in an interview during the interregnum before Biden inaugural. Outlined what we could get immediately: clean ACA, DC and PR statehood, etc. But, yeah, welcome.

When I launched my Substack earlier this month, I never dreamed that I would hit 1,000 subscribers in 14 days. If you haven't already, I hope you will sign-up today. goldietaylor.substack.com

Tonight, I completed the first draft of a manuscript that I’ve been writing for several years. It will be my fifth book, but the first narrative public policy work. Written in the prophetic tradition, it is the intersection of faith, journalism and politics.

"Grief requires a language, and sometimes prayer is the only language people have. But prayer cannot be policy. It cannot be prevention." open.substack.com/pub/goldieta...

What we profess means little if it is not reflected in how we live. Only someone who believes there are no consequences behaves this way—no God, no judgment, no reckoning. At some point, faith demands evidence.

"They had managed to get through college, graduate school, nursing school, law school… They developed systems to elicit focus — spreadsheets, schedules, repetition — and once on task, they could do nothing else for hours or days." free: archive.ph/2026.03.25-2... 🔹️🔹️🔹️

BREAKING: Eight children, ranging in age from 1 to 14 years old, were killed in a Louisiana shooting, police say.

Just a few pages into YESTERYEAR by Caro Claire Burke, and I can already tell it’s flawless. And, it's a debut novel. I don't blame Anne Hathaway for snagging the film rights.

The self-correction myth doesn't just mislead us. It excuses us. It turns civic concern into spectatorship — watching our institutions decline the way we watch a distant storm, certain it will pass. open.substack.com/pub/goldieta...

Justin Fairfax Was A Coward. open.substack.com/pub/goldieta...

I woke up early to start working on my Substack. It’s been dormant for a few years, and I’m still making tweaks. I welcomed a bevy of new subscribers this week (THANK YOU!), so I want to get things right.

“You murder your wife because you have always believed, at some rotted place in yourself, that her life was a thing you got to decide about.” WHEW. One of the most incisive analyses of femicide I’ve ever read. Click through and read the whole thing.

"I kept showing up every day to a world that had given me every reason not to. Because survival required it. Because three children needed their mother to hold on." open.substack.com/pub/goldieta...

Thank you, Jacob. This one left me gutted.

This is an incredibly well written, incredibly moving piece by Goldie Taylor. If you read one thing about Justin Fairfax today, this should be that one thing.

Justin Fairfax wanted to be remembered as a rising star. A trailblazer. The second Black man elected statewide in Virginia. He wanted the Emmett Till comparison to stick. It will not. I will not let it, and neither should you. open.substack.com/pub/goldieta...

"For decades, I organized my entire life around not quitting. Pain was my first language. Survival was my full-time job. I didn't know there was something on the other side of all of it — until there was." by @goldietaylor.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/goldieta...

Eric Swalwell resigned. Tony Gonzales should, too. open.substack.com/pub/goldieta...

BREAKING: Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell drops his bid for California governor amid fallout after a former aide accused him of sexual assault.

"For too long, American politics has run on a sliding scale of accountability, calibrated not to the severity of the conduct but to the presumed usefulness of the individual." open.substack.com/pub/goldieta...

ICYMI: "I agree with Eric Swalwell on nearly every political question that has defined his career. That agreement does not extend here. He should withdraw from the governor’s race. He should resign from Congress." open.substack.com/pub/goldieta...

There is no place in our country or the Democratic Party for those who abuse women and girls. I stand with the courageous survivor who shared her story. Congressman Swalwell must leave the Governor’s race immediately.

Heartbreaking and disgusting. This should cost him more than a political career. What is described here are crimes.

APNewsAlert: JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli military official says the country is still attacking #Iran, after White House said Israel agreed to ceasefire.

The President, White House, and FCC's Brendan Carr are calling for action -- and implying a criminal investigation -- against CNN for... accurately reporting what Iran's state media shared as a statement from Iran's Supreme National Security Council.

It’s clearly TACO Tuesday.

In recent days, we have watched a sitting president openly weigh the annihilation of a sovereign nation. This is more than a flare-up of hawkishness. It is the collapse of the distinction between military strategy and a genocidal impulse. open.substack.com/pub/goldieta...
