It goes without saying the way we are marketed to via data collection is deeeeply disturbing, but I must admit I'm not mad at all the ads I get for writing residencies, grants and other opportunities.

For those of us who come from legacies of dictatorships—-US-supported dictators trained in school of Americas— this is eerily familiar and also so scary as we know worse yet to come.
From this legacy we also know resistance always wins but requires all of us. #resist

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

I hate to break it to you but today is kind of the last day you get to love Mamdani unconditionally.

Tomorrow you gotta start holding him accountable.

I'm somewhat tickled that online deals the week following Black Friday are still called "Cyber Week" and "Cyber Monday." There's something antiquated and early aughts about the word Cyber to me 😂😂😂

This has not gotten much attention, but it should.

Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE.

Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

He's been saying that smh. Look at Abrego Garcia, those deported by other countries, disappeared by ICE...the constitution and the law only counts to him when he wants it to
