Map of event locations for #ICEforGood

We put out a call for #ICEOutForGood vigils 24 hours ago. There are now more than 1000 events taking place across the country this weekend. Find yours: www.mobilize.us?tag_ids=2913...

Several hundred people form a human banner spelling out “IT WAS MURDER — ICE OUT!!” at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach during a protest Saturday in response to the recent fatal shooting in Minneapolis of Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration agent.

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

¡siempre! ❤️

Hell yes! 🙌🏼

Thank you! 🙏🏼 🏳️‍⚧️

Aww thanks—and Peter, thanks for picking up the book!

Tweet From Obama mentioning my firing from the Washington post. Wirh a photo of me

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.

This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

Or used to work.

Washington Post Columnist Says She Was Fired for Posts After Charlie Kirk Shooting

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

The War on Truth Heats Up (just in time for Constitution Day) Hannah Arendt famously wrote, “The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the real...

Kirk's murder is being weaponized to corral us into a smaller and smaller arena of speech, and it is our job to refuse to be confined, to keep speaking out, to keep making irreverent jokes, supporting progressive voices, chastising the high-profile cowards, and talking among ourselves.

I want those of us who are getting into our middle-aged years and beyond to understand that as cynical and sad as we might feel, we have a responsibility to ensure that those who come after us have the energy to go on, to be creative in their problem-solving, to believe change is possible.

Thank you!! Truly cannot wait to read alongside all these wondrous writers

The amazing @caroderobertis.bsky.social has written some brilliant fiction lately (including the transcendant Palace of Eros) but their latest is an utterly essential nonfiction book called So Many Stars: An Oral History of Trans, Nonbinary, Genderqueer, and Two-Spirit People of Color. <3

New Mexico will be the first state to make child care free The program, which is expected to save families $12,000 per child annually, is available to all residents regardless of income.

New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's.

If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too.

It's just a question of political will.

I surround myself with peers, mentors and students who in all kinds of ways call out the best in me. I sit down with my students and want to be a bodhisattva FOR them. I learn from history and my elders what integrity feels like from the inside.

This work can’t happen in isolation.

This. Times a thousand. Again and again.

Personally, I will not be continuing Charlie Kirk's work.

!!!!!!!! 👀

Incredible praise, thank you so much!

Happy pub week to @charliejane.bsky.social ‘s absolutely delightful new novel 🎉

There is a sandwich on a cloud
I like to fling it in my sleep
Aren’t any ICE agents to creep
Not with my sandwich on a cloud

There are pink and blue bands in the morning sky. And clouds!

Good morning, folks. The sky says trans rights are human rights.

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the passage of the Voting Rights Act. The beginning of true democracy in America. A offering to this country paid for by the work, dedication and lives of ordinary Black people.

We’ve always had to fight. Are you prepared to fight to protect our rights?
