No one needs to watch a video of ICE harming and killing anyone to get involved. Also, there are plenty of videos of police killing Black and Brown folk out there, so something is off if someone needs to see this video to believe ICE is capable of murdering someone. Same system. Same country.

The murder of Renee Nicole Good also demonstrates another obvious and terrible truth that the Movement for Black Lives have tried to tell America about state violence: there's never been a such thing as a perfect victim

There’ll be all kinds of hagiographic social media noise for #BrigitteBardot today, just as there was for known racist and far right supporter #AlainDelon when he died. NEVER FORGET: this woman was fined 6 TIMES for inciting racial hatred; she also hated the #MeToo movement 🙄

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains. Posting two, because I can’t choose!

“How fearful are you, Joe, in this era of ICE as part terror group? Do you feel safe? Does it matter that a multitude—myself included—not only feels endangered but is, in fact, at grave risk? And if it does matter, what will you say/do next?” www.esquire.com/news-politic...

“Immigrants in ICE custody are trapped in a paradox. They have no Sixth Amendment right to an attorney—that applies only to criminal defendants. But an attorney is often their only “contact with the outside world” - @jasonsilverstein.bsky.social slate.com/news-and-pol...

Crazy excited about this and feel incredibly honored to be representing Jill. Her novel pages blew me away!

NOT TO BE ALL LINKEDIN ON THIS APP, but so excited to share that I’ve signed with UTA Publishing today, repped by @peter23.bsky.social! My novel is in progress and it’s an honor to be working on it with Peter, whose vision for the story as a novel and possibly beyond aligns so well with mine 🌊

The book I’m writing is titled HOME OUT THERE. It’s about black queer people leaving home to find home. I weave my own experiences with biographical chapters about three black queer poet ancestors: Langston Hughes, Pauli Murray and Audre Lorde.

this is just gutter racism

An essay for World AIDS Day and the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks's valiant act of resistance, an essay on quilts and solidarity, on stitching the fragments together.

“…if you need to talk to your trying-to-be-down auntie about how a land acknowledgement at dinner isn’t enough, please do let her know she can simply text FREESAM to 53-555 and make a tax-deductible donation to actually change the material conditions of Natives.” Also here: givebutter.com/c/9qW07O

“Policy Violence”: ICE Raids & Shredding of Social Safety Net Are Linked, Says Bishop William Barber https://www.democracynow.org/2025/11/26/bishop_william_barber

For at least a year, I've been returning to the question, how would you know when it's time to leave the US? For this piece, I asked trans, nonbinary, and genderqueer Americans who, with their families and partners, have recently fled the country, about how they made this decision and how they left.

Writing the novel. Put on some of Nat King Cole's dreamiest stuff ("Stardust", anyone? The tonal shifts alone, pound right here, Hoagy Carmichael) to get me in the mood for a character falling in love. Sipping Writer's Tears whiskey and delusionally falling in love with a parasocial crush instead

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

THEN YOU PURCHASE THEM AND DO NOT USE THE PROPERTY OF OTHERS

This was a year ago:

It's not just what Andrew Cuomo is saying—it's who's funding him. The single largest donor to a pro-Cuomo SuperPAC is Airbnb cofounder/board member Joe Gebbia, who promotes vile and racist messages about immigrants.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

My latest. "Do not allow your values to be captured and contained behind a screen in a cycle of inactive reaction. Jailbreak your cynicism and isolation, and escape your devices. Bring your hope, rage, and potential into the world."

Context for non-Chicagoans: The median list price for homes in Lincoln Park is $758,133 according to Zillow. It's also 80% white. When they go after places with that much privilege, know that no one is safe. And the vulnerable are even more so.

This is very funny: "Researchers struggle to come up with ways to make unsupervised AIs pro-human without hobbling their other capabilities – the ones governments and private investors back them for." Like, if we made AI models prioritise being nice to humans they'd stop doing profitable stuff.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78. Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help. He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...
