When you have to use the phrase "I'm your ally" that's a pretty reliable sign that the normal channels of communicating allyship (behaving like an ally) are not functioning. 312114

Jon Suggs @lastgreypoet.com · 18/08/2025I have been traveling for 11 days, including seven flights through six airports, I don’t remember how many restaurants, shops, and museums, plus a big concert and a state fair.

Jon Suggs @lastgreypoet.com · 26/03/2025I get it. It would be logical and consistent for the “but her emails” people to freak out and have _at least_ as much outrage over the current “let’s share our war plans over an insecure app without even double-checking who’s in the chat“ fiasco, but c’mon. 1/3 120
Jon Suggs @lastgreypoet.com · 17/03/2025I’m usually pretty chipper on this day. I think about my maternal grandmother, whose parents immigrated from the Emerald Isle for a better future. Looking at how our country is treating immigrants today, I feel only shame, anger, and despair. 040
