All this craven ass-kissing in corporate media for someone who's perhaps the least popular and most divisive president in modern history. Their coverage -- presenting Trump as an unstoppable force riding a huge mandate -- is just bizarre. Almost seems like they're trying to convince themselves.

I hope that the ceasefire deal truly means an end to the vicious, murderous bombardment of Palestine and I also know that there are not enough ceasefire deals to cover the dead. The United States supplied the weapons and Israel used them. Never forget. Free Palestine!!!

Colleges are not required to respond to protests with crackdowns the way that NYU, Yale and so many others have. This is a choice--and a terrible one.

I genuinely think we should start calling businesses and schools falling to the anti-DEI movement “segregationists” because they are re-segregating. And earlier rounds of segregationists *also* explained their preferred policy in race-neutral terms (“state’s rights” and “freedom of association”).

This is great work. Another way to say these businesses are “erasing progress” is that they are re-segregating. The latter more pointedly gets at what’s at stake.

It's negligence at this level that MAGA capitalizes on to convince people that the problem is not capitalism but "government bureaucrats." Their "alternative" is fake: deregulation so capitalists can act with greater impunity Organizing a real, meaningful alternative is how we defeat MAGA.

Oh my GOD. What a giant. My favorite poem of hers:
Poem (For Nina)
we are all imprisoned in the castle of our skins and some of us have said so be it if I am in jail my castle shall become my rendezvous
my courtyard will bloom with hyacinths and jack-in-the-pulpits
my moat will not restrict me but will be filled with dolphins sitting on lily pads and sea horses ridden by starfish
goldfish will make love
to Black mollies and color my world Black Gold the vines entwining my windows will grow butterflies and yellow jackets will buzz me to sleep the dwarfs imprisoned will not become my clowns for me to scorn but my dolls for me to praise and fuss with and give tea parties to
my gnomes will spin cloth of spider web silkness my wounded chocolate soldiers will sit in evening coolness or stand gloriously at attention during that midnight sun
for I would have no need of day patrol if I am imprisoned in my skin let it be a dark world with a deep bass walking a witch doctor to me for spiritual consultation
let my world be defined by my skin and the skin of my people for we spirit to spirit will embrace this world
