Publix asked to be the sole sponsor to an event showcasing black authors in Jacksonville Florida. Last minute, they pulled their sponsorship because of the "volatile" climate. The week of. Fuck Publix. I'm adding them to the boycott list for my household. They do nothing for local community.

Double plus ungood

assata was the best of us. a revolutionary who was determined to be free by any means necessary. our north star forever and always. assata taught us that we will win our liberation and that the most important thing in the world for us is to struggle. rest in power assata shakur

Completely outlandish (to suggest that Democrats would ever stand their ground for the sake of trans people)

Talap is my coach's coach. He is out of detention TODAY!!!!!!

It is illuminating, watching arts orgs continue hiring as though nothing is changing. Yes, you must relocate to our tiny town in a deep red state! No, we don't have salary details! Translation: Our only strategy for an America that intentionally immiserates trans ppl (+others) is to participate.

"Who would have predicted this?" - Black women did. - Trans people did. - The *entire* disability community did. - The anarchists did. - Post-Evangelicals did. "Well why didn't I hear them." You did. But you disregarded us as "extremists" and "alarmists". And you are still calling us that.

BEING PAID,—what will compare with it?

Do whatever you can for Lubna's family, if it's sharing, donating, whatever it is, help them get to safety. Every life saved is a whole world saved.

The table of folks next to me at this cafe has tried to complete a toast "To abstract art!" four very failed times and knocked three glasses of water over in the process. The table almost tipped over.

For those who missed it, here's my obituary for Charlie Kirk, a man who made the world worse every day he drew breath. www.patreon.com/posts/on-vio...

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

“Two state terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione, the defendant in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare’s chief executive last year, were dismissed…including one that had accused him of first-degree murder.” 🎁🔗 www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/n...

The initial response of liberal institutions that we had to “honor” Kirk is a large part of why we are even here

Instead of writing think pieces pointing out the hypocrisies of free speech white nationalists, support a Black trans scholar who is being punished by their employer after the very same fascist zionist machine came after them: chuffed.org/project/1455...

Trans Boxing is amazing—I love their classes—& one of the allies that makes their work possible is in ICE custody, facing deportation to Russia, where he faces persecution bc of his advocacy. Learn more about coach Talap Mamyrkanov + consider donating to his legal fees here: freetalap.org/about

This is sick

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social: ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday. Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events. Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

I stand in total solidarity w/every academic whose name has or might yet show up on one of these LISTS that our long-alleged bastions of intellectual freedom are assembling for our authoritarian gov't. I also wonder how anyone w/*any* familiarity with U.S. academia could be *remotely* surprised.

is it political violence when a trans woman dies because she was denied healthcare

Can’t wait

For @newyorker.com I wrote about the censorship of trans art. I spoke to many of my favorite artists from Puppies Puppies to Creighton Baxter, thought about strategic opacity, Amy Sherald, and whether or not we have had great trans artists. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Highest level of support since Gallup started asking this question a quarter century ago

So long, A23a. 🥹

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

EXCLUSIVE: In response to threats of criminal prosecution from the Department of Justice for performing gender-affirming care, the University of Michigan hospital system will tomorrow announce they are ending gender-affirming care in the UM hospital system. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/univers...

Honestly, though, when have centrists ever been WRONG that trans people were misdirecting our anger? [flaming scroll unspools]

How it feels to be trans, especially with our political system youtu.be/7Ny2PhBnZTA?... 🎧

I think this is a pretty fair analogy for all that makes Newsom's energy a) occasionally very useful b) eternally the wrong choice for national candidacy. A true Beetlejuice of sociopathy

This kind of racist, xenophobic sentiment is deeply ingrained in at least a pocket of every English Department I've ever encountered. A lot of tenured, self-described liberal intellectuals have longed for an opportunity like this.

eat fresh, motherfuckers

Fuuuuuck are you telling me that if you waffle on trans rights yr essentially knitting a fresh welcome mat to yr own downfall????????????????????????????????????????

hear me out here, what if none of it is a 'distraction' and they're just doing a lot of horrible shit simultaneously

giving you permission for today to not have to argue about how crime is lower actually

Do I know anyone with access to @grantstation.bsky.social ? Perhaps through @techsoup.bsky.social ? I'm trying to convince a client to consider it as an option but need (brief) access to demo it a bit, beyond what their preview materials already do.

Keep writing that stupid book

NEW: Border patrol made false claims about Los Angeles protesters it jailed, misrepresenting basic facts of events that were filmed. I obtained records of officers acknowledging + "apologizing" for errors The DOJ is now dismissing cases, an embarrassment for Trump-appointed US attorney Bill Essayli

ALWAYS give to Sameer Project. They're in Gaza, they're Palestinian, and they provide with dignity and respect. Gazans often say that it's generally best to donate to individual fundraisers, that prominent orgs are nowhere to be seen in Gaza!--Except the Sameer Project which is consistently active.

went to see Superman w/my bff & yes we did indeed cry our fucking faces off

As a trans woman who grew up (very!) poor +declared a trans nonbinary identity only once I felt $ecure enough to do so security that, in turn, made medical transition much more possible for me I find much of value in JGP's Baffler piece + a notable lack of generosity in many of yr readings!

“Without immediate intervention, the last remaining reporters in Gaza are going to die.”

DONALD TRUMP: I am going to institute autarky and liquidate the intelligentsia MEDIA: maybe we haven't been nice enough... ACADEMIA: let's make a helpful list of suggested demands for him to make of us! MARKETS: line go up? THE FEDERAL RESERVE: Epstein story is a go. where are we on the pee tape
