U.S. citizen told "you have no rights" during immigration arrest speaks out: "It hurts me" Border Patrol and the Florida Highway Patrol arrested Kenny Laynez, an 18-year-old high school senior who was on his way to work as a landscaper, back in May.

See what I mean?

I found a lot of unposted potential tweets in my notes app yesterday and now that I have Bluesky may I treat you to the best one, which is that Paddington Bear is the best drag king name imaginable

U.S. Quietly Drafts Plan to End Program That Saved Millions From AIDS

What is the point of negotiating anything with these people? www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/h...

it's a good song

Probably a lot of people are doing this since July 22, but I am doing it currently and I absolutely recommend listening to "War Pigs," specifically, right now and maybe every day for the foreseeable future during this particular American moment

Cover of As If!: Queer Criticism Across Difference by Chase Gregory. The design mimics a yellow plaid spiral notebook against a bright red background. The title “As If!” appears in bold white letters on a black oval that resembles a sticker. A strip of green tape below reads “Queer Criticism Across Difference” in black capital letters. The author’s name is displayed on a piece of black tape.

I'm so glad it's been immortalized in print hahaha--also I'm pretty sure "Pornographesis" made it to the works cited, for the record

ICE is cocking assault rifles and pointing them at civilians. This happened in Pico Rivera this morning.

it is genuinely insane that we have just kind of acclimated to the fact that we have masked secret police now

Free intro!

BREAKING | Comptroller Brad Lander arrested at ICE court hearing

This photo.

ICE is a gang.

thank you you're like a full paragraph of the acknowledgements haha

thanks you're in the acknowledgements :)

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

thank you for making that possible in uncountable ways!

People think we can't defund the police because they can't remember a time before the police. But we can all remember a time before ICE, and so we can and should imagine a world without its cruelty #abolishICE

so honored / humbled by this whole thing. I hope the book does Theory Q proud!
