put a fat slice of farmer’s market tomato on my mcdonald’s burger, it’s called range

"Find your political home" remains, for me at least, the single best guiding star in times of crisis and chaos. Individuals can doomscroll and post and have big feelings; groups can take meaningful action. Maybe it's an activist org, union, student group, career, collective/crew, etc (1/3)

we used to be a country. a proper country.

flying out of terminal B at reagan: wow what a beautiful airport, i love it here flying out of terminal A: welcome to the seventh circle of hell, there are four announcements happening at the same time, tourists fully blocking every walkway, and one chair for every other 10 people

uncharacteristically packing less than 12 hours before i leave on this trip, wish me luck

litfic isn’t the only genre worth reading (from brandon sanderson’s tress of the emerald sea)

where are the controversial cut essays in these trying times

i love my heritage ❤️

in the last 12 hours tiktok has served me a videos of both judith butler and alison bechdel and even i think that’s a little too on the nose at this point

SCOTUS said we had to file separate complaints in separate courts and we said “okay see you in EVERY court.”

i may be unserious, hysterical and woke, but my strategy of “taking trump seriously no matter how insane he sounds” has paid more analytical dividends than the alternatives

waking up early is bad but watching the sun slowly rise over the chesapeake from the train’s quiet car is good

you won’t believe what i say 40 minutes into this episode

I know way too much about this song and now @acfacci.bsky.social does too

MUST-WATCH: This is the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil from the perspective of his wife, who is 8 months pregnant. This is federal agents in plain clothes dragging a man from his home as punishment for his speech. @nyclu.org @ccrjustice.org @theimeu.bsky.social

we are so back

“Emails that have since been made public quite clearly show that Littlejohn, in fact, asked the school to use they/them pronouns for their non-binary child. Littlejohn … gave approval to let their child and their teachers lead on appropriate school protocols.”

Trans people have always been here — and we aren’t going anywhere.

[to the tune of jam eater blues by @themountaingoats.bsky.social] life is too short to refrain from eating pickles out of the jar

drew goins is truly the people’s princess of this jeopardy post-season

reading is all fun and games until you’re trying to read a 600+ page hardcover on your commute

last night’s @dimension20.bsky.social madison square garden show was so delightful but perhaps my favorite part was booing the bad guys - all representations of capitalism and corporate greed - with thousands and thousands of other fans

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration to block the president’s attempt to end birthright citizenship. An executive order does not have the power to override the Constitution.

spending my time this evening reading up on the emoluments clause, for no reason in particular

can’t stop thinking about that tiktok sound: “i’m alive / i’m dead / i’m watching tv / i’m looking at you / fuck you / i’m dead again”

i say things like “i don’t really get video essays” and then i do things like watch an hour long binging with babish video ranking all of the frozen tj’s entrees

the tiktok ban is like 5% of what happens if KOSA becomes law but we’re not having that conversation

if you give a dog a french fry, they’ll probably want another french fry to go with it

THE DOINK-STRICT OF COLUMBIA

it always catches me off guard how emotional crossing the brooklyn bridge makes me. my great uncle’s hands sculpted the plaques on the bridge depicting its construction. his name, my family name, literally cast in bronze. a staggering reminder of my sense of place in the world.

New year, new platform, same ACLU. We’ve got a busy year ahead of us — and we’re ready.

if we’re going to abandon reason, embrace superstition, and regress as a society, we should at least bring back tunics, houppelandes, and elaborate hats. we do not need to look this boring while we’re at it

I wrote this ode to a burger joint near my hometown in rural Oklahoma before the election, but the piece is about nostalgia's role in the state's conservative impulses, and maybe more resonant today www.eater.com/24235044/mee...

when I say “oomf” this is what I’m picturing
