People have been asking me if I know of a resource like StandWithMinnesota for New Jersey, and I haven't found something comprehensive. So, for the moment, I have put together all the links to NJ orgs, crowdfunding links, events, and stuck them on a page of SWM. standwithminnesota.org/jersey

Tonight! Featuring two collections I absolutely treasure. @gibsonsbookstore.bsky.social @aclu-nh.bsky.social @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social @theferocity.bsky.social

Outstanding interview here with @saralippmann.bsky.social and @tortoisebooks.bsky.social on the publication of HIDDEN RIVER. A gift. "Lippmann situates this private violation within a broader cultural moment that commodified girlhood and framed sexual initiation as inevitable..."

A reminder to Americans how exceptional it is that a leader in a democracy does not except his electoral defeat.

What a wonderful moment to experience. I lived under Orbán 1, working at CEU… it was nothing compared to what was to come under Orbán 2. So many friends were impacted. Now, many years too late, it is finally the end of Orbán 2. Tomorrow we can talk about the challenges. Today we celebrate!

Still of fading life imitating art

If I'm sending you muskrat photos in the group chat you know I'm also sending you America's finest.

"I'm not voting for her because she'll never win" is rape culture, just to be clear.

Pleased to see I was not following Eric Swalwell on this app. So freaking sick of shitty men abusing, chasing, and expecting power. Swalwell to Trump.

We watched the Apollo 13 movie while the Artemis II livestream played and somehow timed it so both splashdowns happened within moments of each other 😭😭

All of us saying text me when you land 🥹

One of the best things in the whole world is when someone hands you a book and says, "You need to read this." When it's your own kid doing this, it's even sweeter.

Could not be more excited to read Sara Lippmann's Hidden River, pubbing May 5th from @tortoisebooks.bsky.social. Gift yourself a presale? @saralippmann.bsky.social

Congrats to my sister Lacey Liebert who is presenting a paper tomorrow at The Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute 🥹

If you are saying less, you aren't nearly saying enough, especially if you have a giant platform. Cc everybody else.

ICE has been really good at catching wind of these unannounced visits in other cities recently and flying all the captured migrants out beforehand. But not today. Well done catching them, Congresswoman. We should expect that all of the detention centers are this bad when they aren’t tipped off.

The woman being murdered in the video Trump posted was an immigrant. Her name was Nilufar Yasmin. She was from Bangladesh. Trump is weaponizing her death against communities like hers. Outstanding reporting from @pabloreports.bsky.social for Migrant Insider. migrantinsider.com/p/her-name-w...
