Kaleb's death has caved in my hope. The more shock I see people express at his poverty, the more clear it is that he was killed by this country, by the wealthy few, starved, for the threat of his words.

His shadow goes on for days and days.

Amazing work here by @alexnpress.bsky.social eulogizing Kaleb Horton and gathering his writing in one easy to locate place. If any indie publishers want to do an edition of his work, I’d volunteer time to see it done. thealexpress.substack.com/p/kaleb-hort...

Netanyahu Comes to Town and So Does The Hague Group

What happened to law and order??

"Pick an art or science: odds are, the greatest practitioner of it, the biggest talent, is instead doing something else because they need the money. So we mostly get the work of people who had enough of a cushion to do what they wanted."

Alex is so incredible and this bill is going to help protect so many people with noncarceral solutions to discourage stalking. Please be vocal in your support of this bill wherever you live, but especially if you're in NY!

just want to raise awareness of this New York bill, which was drafted in large part in response to my experience of being stalked. if you’d like to support it, this link has ways to do that: thank you! www.cagoldberglaw.com/legislation/...
