“I know the law because I’m a legislator!!”, the dumbest guy in the room loudly proclaims to a room full of people who actually took Communications Law for their degree.

I’m having a hard time making it through this article. I can read it through the eyes of the right, since it’s how I was raised, and the racism dripping from the words on the page will be completely invisible to them.

The Caine Prize is an award for African writers, judged by other African writers. As a Ghanaian/Nigerian-American, I've followed the Caine Prize for years-- I read African literature. The Atlantic article uses AI to justify overriding the judgment of African people reading their own literature.

Early voting in Ohio started on Tuesday. The rest of this one, plus next two week’s hours are M-F from 8-5 at your county’s Board of Elections office. Vote NO on the constitutional amendment that will make it extremely hard for the elderly and disabled to vote by mail.

Every woman who comes forward and lays her trauma bare for the world to see does so hoping it will lead to a better world for women. It never does. And yet, we keep trying.

This man is unfit in every possible sense of the word. He is the worst impulses of this nation given physical form, and it is the duty of every single one of us who actually believe in freedom and democracy to make sure he and his followers are banished from power.

Is it woke to be horrified by what happened at Cornell--and by the "boys will be boys" excuse-making of so many then and now? If so, perhaps we should all be a little more woke?

I know this isn’t useful but it’s weird how “the president should be coherent” was a Very Important Thing just a few years ago and then suddenly wasn’t.

That Trump is here campaigning with this gang of criminals will hopefully be the kiss of death to all their campaigns. Early voting starts Tuesday in Ohio! 🗳️

Just for fun, I thought I'd put here the final two pages of 'Galley Slave', a 1957 short story by Isaac Asimov. It may possibly have some relevance to certain social media posts about the desirability of having certain books written by AI. #AI #BookBluesky

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

They very much adhere to the belief that their poorly researched opinions are eternal truths and so therefore to discuss them in public or to subject them to debate is "casting pearls before swine," as Jesus put it. You are the swine, just in case you didn't realize it.

Yesterday @nytimes.com published an op-ed from me on what this moment calls for. While it is tempting to believe that someone else is going to save us, history shows that it is only we, the people, who can change the course of our democracy. Thread below for resources on *how* to do just that. 🧵

John Stanton: Landry's push to control New Orleans should worry everyone. You could be next.

I don’t agree with all Abdul El-Sayed’s views, but GOP “othering” is a disgrace. He was born in US, educated at Bloomfield Hills Andover, where he captained football team; Univ of Mich; Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar; Columbia, where he earned an MD. Debate his views, not whether he’s a “real” American.
