He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.

My question is: white people, what are you going to do to fix this? This is a uniquely white American problem that puts us all in danger. ICE was created by white Republicans, emboldened by white Republicans, and ignored by white voters. What. Are. You. Going. To. Do?

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

A photo of the man murdered by ICE today, just before the shooting. He’s standing and holding a phone in his right hand and holding his empty left hand to the sky and looking behind him at a woman running away while an ICE agent closes in on him from the front. On the ground behind the man is a woman that the victim will soon try to help, leading several ICE agents to attack him and pin him to the ground, before shooting him several times.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Trump used his Davos speech to make an ignorant racist attack on Ilhan Omar, Somali Americans and Somalia, and the worthless goons in the audience gave him a standing ovation. The world elite in 2026 consists of vastly overprivileged idiots.

Why wasn’t the crowd booing Trump at Davos? Why didn’t Børge Brende challenge the blatant lies, racism, and misogyny in his incoherent, insane “speech”? These people are complicit.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

In 2021 I wrote a story about a grad student who lies about being Métis, inspired by several CanLit identity-fraud scandals. I wanted to explore the twisted settler mentality that makes it possible to justify colonizing identity. "(Not) A Metaphor," Dalhousie Review 101.2. #ThomasKing

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer. New York Times tomorrow

Snapdragons are my favorite flower to grow. They do however produce seed pods that look like the screaming skulls of the damned.

( Not my picture) Snapdragon seed pod dried on the plant. There are five pods that resemble tiny human skulls with open mouths.
