So my Mormon mother realized re: her last visit that I'm not offended by her singing the melodies of Mormon songs to my kids bc they don't know the words and thus can't be indoctrinated by them. So it's fine, but also my mom has been gone a week, and I still have Primary songs stuck in my head.

At least 22 Black individuals have been found dead under unusual or suspicious hanging circumstances across the country between March 2025 and August 2026. This alarming trend has raised concerns about the investigations into these deaths.

So the rumor for like 10 years has been that Mike sold his soul to Trump for a shot at being on the Supreme Court. But that's been hard for many ppl to believe bc is Lee really foolish enough to believe that the evangelical right would ever allow any Mormon a seat? Apparently the answer is yes.

Since the GOP is proudly gutting representation for marginalized people, I would really like to see Dems respond by saying fuck it, we SHOULD have representation quotas. At least 14% of Congress must be Black. Every territory and Indigenous Nation should get a seat. At least half should be women.

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

I frequently tell people that BYU has a faculty similar to Georgetown or Notre Dame, but an admin like Liberty. And the latter are not even attacking the former, but are undercutting the former’s reputation. Gilbert is literally dividing them into categories-a personal enemies list. /3

I agree. If only there had been a senator w/ deep ties to party leadership, who has gotten media attn for investigating Trump before, who had previously called for a Dem pres pick to step down, who could have rallied senators against this or called for new Dem leadership. Oh, wait.

A lot more people should know about the bravery Marimar Martinez displayed in the midst of Chicago’s occupation and the murder of two observers in MSP. They tried to kill her, shooting her 5 times, and it’s a miracle she’s alive to push for transparency like this after being persecuted by the DOJ.

It actually seems like at the most generous interpretation even if the police are not actively & ideologically in cooperation with ICE, police are actually deferring to ICE's authority on the field, which, if they are an illegitimate operation masquerading as police, that's even worse.

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

There was a protest yesterday at ICE’s children’s detention center: “He heard what sounded like ‘hundreds of children’ shouting, with voices he described as ‘high-pitched’ and ‘urgent.’ He said he could see children streaming from dormitory areas behind a chain-link fence and chanting ‘Libertad.’”

Calling for more ICE agent training is calling for more ICE funding, for a more efficient ethnic cleansing machine. They don’t need more training, they need to be destroyed. ABOLISH ICE. ABOLISH ICE. ABOLISH ICE.

I wrote about the slashing of the recommended vaccine schedule for children for @vanityfair.com because I think it's too tempting to read RFK as being off in his own wacky "wellness" world. In fact, his attacks on public health are an integral part of Trump's overall project.

Gavin Newsom has never had a homeless, a working unhoused, or an affordable housing advocate on his podcast despite governing California. So yeah I think it’s weird that he’s entertained & platformed multiple fascists while grinning, nodding & relenting to their easily defeatable talking points.

Oh, look. No matter how peaceful we are, Trump's groupies will always find a way to supposedly justify Trump's agenda. It's almost like state governments should do something to protect targets of ICE instead of watching them get beaten, detained, deported, disappeared, or murdered.

Beautiful prose. Tragically accurate. “It does not matter, in practical terms, whether ICE’s actions are legal. In mafia states, legal is a malleable notion. What matters is that they are wrong. What matters is how they can be stopped.”

Being white is, like all racial categories, socially constructed and falls apart the closer you look at it... that's also true of being Black, and I dearly love being me, my Blackness, and my people. Race is quite nonsensical when you turn it over enough. But this country has made race matter.

So I know we're trying to prevent Trump trying to suspend elections, but at a certain point, calling on the Guard to side with the people, whatever Trump tells them, might prevent more violence and disruption than waiting 10+ months to act, just hoping people don't resort to guerilla warfare.

I was hopeful albeit worried when he sent out the Minnesota National Guard. And then I was no longer worried about escalation because I saw that the Guard had been directed to protect...property. Like, seriously, I know Walz is trying to avoid a war, but it's happening anyway. Protect PEOPLE.

If you are an opposition party, oppose. Relentless oversight, procedural resistance, and delay are legitimate tools. If you’re in the minority and you’re “working across the aisle,” you’re already losing. Make everything harder. Delay everything. Force votes. Demand records.

ICE relies heavily on the private sector to help carry out its Gestapo-like crusade against immigrants and their allies. Without the logistical, financial, and political support of business, its capacity to terrorize our communities would crumble.
