In 2018 I built a house for a week in El Salvador with Habitat for Humanity. One of our translators told me that "Americans" should refer to everyone on the continent with North or South, not just one country. She suggested United Stater's or Usians as a better description

I'm looking for a place in this world where only I fit. I'm looking to become a beloved barely known asset of some institution. I'd like to be the Hunchback of a Medium Sized Modern Art Museum

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

It's fairly obvious this president and administration can't be embarrassed by anything they've done and are doing. Y'all keep trying to put their noses in it like a dog. Embarrassment only works when they think what they're doing is wrong. They don't.

I put a post on fb to remind my family why I don't visit texas anymore and got some pushback about things "not being so bad". I know that's probably true, but I'm also very disappointed they aren't out in the streets over what's being done in their name. It's just getting worse and worse

Let this serve as a warning to Dems who abandon trans folks and vote for anti trans bills. You will be primaried, and you will lose.

Texas AG Ken Paxton has declared that it is illegal for mental health providers and therapists to treat trans youth. It means that trans youth will be denied access to any mental healthcare that isn't conversion therapy. Paxton also threatens parents of trans youth with child abuse investigations.

Two figures stand in an alleyway at night in winter. The trees are bare. The houses, stark and angular. A gigantic condo looms behind them, its facade lit up by the moon. Two young women emerge from the dark. A younger one and and an older one. The younger one has long dark hair, she wears a toque and puffy coat. She has rectangular glasses. She lights a cigarette while the older one looks on. The older one has her long dark hair tied in a ponytail. She has a fringe of hair resembling an up arrow. She wears a scarf and black peacoat. She has round glasses. She observes the younger one take a puff. The younger one says "Dad would kill me if he knew I was smoking." The older one implores "pleae let your big sister be a laign influence on you." She turns to look her sister in they and points out "you only turn nineteen once! Celebrate by indulging in newly legal vices!"

I'm doing an assignment for a sound class and I'm making myself lol by comparing Keats to Travis Bickle in overlaying the poem When I Have Fears That I Should Cease To Be read by a fellow student with Herrman's score from Taxi Driver. Give me a reason to be a nerd, and I will

Congress must immediately reconvene to vote on a War Powers Resolution and end Trump’s reckless, unilateral march toward another endless war.

The American people must also be LOUD in their opposition. The public wants peace, not more chaos abroad. Your voice is powerful.

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"

Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.
