man what the fuck

Whether you’re striking today or not, consider donating your day’s wages to mutual aid groups. I donated mine to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota www.ilcm.org/donate/

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

You can call the governor today. “My name is X. I live in X, zip code X. I am calling to urge the governor to support and sign the New York 4 All Act. If she does not, I will support her opponent in the primary this summer.” Add any details you like, like prosecuting ICE agents under NYS law.

Yo, fellow phone-anxious people: if you call your reps now you can leave voicemails

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

This is essentially what governments did in the late 1900s and early 2000s with respect to Nazis. Whether you were a lowly concentration camp guard or in Hitler's inner circle, if there was evidence you were a Nazi, it was straight to jail with your walker. It worked.

Psst! There’s a giveaway of Dead Weight, my newest book, over on Goodreads! It’s out in May and they are giving* out 50 copies! *only for U.S. residents

This good-natured, 34-year-old, Muslim, immigrant man—who the Times bemoaned was too young and radical to “get anything done”—has accomplished more good governance in a *week* on the job than most liberal politicians accomplish in their whole careers. With a smile & a joyful heart. A blessing.

NEW: DHS appropriations bill funding ICE passes 220-207 7 Democrats voted YES on the bill: - Jared Golden - Marie Gluesenkamp Perez - Henry Cuellar - Tom Suozzi - Laura Gillen - Don Davis - Vicente Gonzalez One Republican voted NO: Thomas Massie

As long as the horrors persist, Horror must persist. My Churchianity Horror, THE BODY, drops in ✨3 WEEKS ✨! Among my tour stops is my Los Angeles event with THEE @tananarivedue hosted by @reparations.club on February 13, 2026, at 7pm! RSVP: www.eventbrite.com/e/book-event...

Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since. That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.

I don't want to share a photo where the child's face isn't blurred out, but that image of that 5 year old boy in his little beanie and backpack being taken out of his home in Minnesota by ICE will haunt me. What are fucking doing. Anyone arguing this is a good thing should be tried at The Hague.

What makes a house haunted in Palestine? Is it the ghosts that linger - or is it something far more sinister? Our Cut of Salt is about a haunted house in Palestine and the 3 generations of women who must discover the answer to this question for themselves. Preorder now: linktr.ee/deenahelm

What about the ICE BUCKET, Chuck

Hey folks Calvary Food Shelf has been helping out people in Minneapolis for 30 years, and now they’re ramping up to meet the crisis, including doing home deliveries so people don’t have to risk going out. They’re just over halfway to their current goal—let’s get them all the way, shall we?

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power - file impeachment articles every day in the House - withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee - be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

This is the only correct position, and the inevitable response from knee-jerk centrist reactionaries of "it won't work" is not a valid objection. Every member of Congress has a duty to say that what Noem has been doing is not acceptable.

Please support the wife and son of Renee Good as they grapple with the devastating loss of their wife and mother. gofund.me/9e987aead

Truly. I need all non-Black folk to understand that your surprise at how Good is being handled and her death is being laundered right now is an indictment of your understanding and belief in things Black folk have been saying for your whole life. You cannot both believe us and be surprised by this.

No, it was a successful coup. None of the people who led it were punished, and are in fact back in power, rewarded for their efforts to break the system by running it. Donald Trump is currently the dictator he attempted to become 5 years ago, and it’s because nobody treated trying as a crime.

All I can see is that attic scene from Hereditary…

Lots of folks in publishing are returning to make the books tomorrow, so just a reminder to treat industry people like people in the New Year. Everyone is just trying their best. ❤️

got my adhd upgraded to ad4k

I’m visiting family for holidays and EVERYONE is regularly using AI. Absolutely bleak.

One of the things that gets me about this whole "replace people in publishing with AI" thing is that people in publishing (translators / editors / copy editors / authors / etc) are among the worst fucking paid people out there.

Burned out.

I love this skeleton that is clutching their flowers so, so much.

Convincing you to read my new novella by the first few sentences. Share yours if you want! So begins Dead Weight (which comes out in May).

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

A sneak peek at the cover of next week’s issue, which celebrates Zohran Mamdani’s historic win. #NewYorkerCovers https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/451hFM

you can win without billionaires supporting you you can win without party leadership endorsing you you can win unapologetically standing with every persecuted minority pundits say are too politically toxic to touch we could do everything about this process differently if we wanted to

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often
