Let’s please resist sharing the racist image posted by the current president of the United States.
And let us remember that we are allies in the fight for justice always, or not at all. We must condemn this, loudly and without equivocation.

Congratulations, Thrity Umrigar. Your new novel, Missing Sam, is a gift for our weary souls.

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.

Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive.
The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.
No number of them, I should have written.

Jan. 6, 2021: Sherrod leaving for D.C. at 5:09 a.m. No amount of presidential pardons & shameful attempts to rewrite history will change what I remember about the violence on our Capitol that day. For nearly 45 minutes, we could not determine Sherrod’s whereabouts, or whether he was even alive.

At 4:43 a.m., he decided the only place he could sleep was in my study, so this is where we are. For fourteen years he has followed me everywhere. My turn.

Yet another illustration of how adoration so desperately sought forever eludes the undeserving. You can force people to pretend to love you, but no one is fooled.

Not exactly. An intern at right-wing site wrote email saying they had a picture of me hugging Sherrod Brown. I expressed surprise that he didn’t have one of him kissing me, as he is my husband. The “story” never ran. Years later, he thanked me for never publicly naming him. He has changed.

Anyone who has participated in or attended a naturalization ceremony knows how meaningful and joyous these ceremonies tend to be. The cruelty of this is heartbreaking and enraging.
