It turned out that things like morals, empathy and dignity are like trees---they take decades to grow. They can also be clear cut just like trees: when ppl are doused daily with fear, bigotry and hate. *Please credit work of artists whose work you post!

Today is pub day for Angry Girls Will Get Us Through, a young readers edition of Good & Mad, drawing on material from all three of my previous books (plus new material). It was brilliantly adapted by Ruby Shamir. Here is a (starred!) review from Kirkus: www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...
ANGRY GIRLS WILL GET US THROUGH | Kirkus Reviews
Shamir’s adaptation of a variety of Traister’s writings is an accessible primer on the history of women’s activism in the United States.

Remember that mindbending saga about Kristi Noem that WSJ ran a few days ago & dropped every jaw in the house? NBC has a follow-up saying Noem directed a USCG plane to deport people while the plane was searching the Pacific for a servicemember overboard. Never found.

Some early decisions by the homeland security secretary, including to divert Coast Guard resources from a search and rescue mission to the deportation of immigrants, set the tone early.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

I don’t mean to ruin anyone’s weekend, but I definitely could see Desantis taking Kristi Noem’s job. They also have never liked each other so wouldn’t shock me if he’s lobbying for it.

Many of the phrases, images, and attached media used by the Trump administration aren’t just regular social media content.
They repurpose language, symbolism, and cultural references with direct connections to neo-Nazi and white supremacist movements.

Y'all when I tell you that this current paradigm of "AI" being shoved down our throats does real, persistent harm, and that said harm will fall first on the most marginalized and then on everyone else, this is the shit I mean. I mean god DAMN.
I have three hearings at three different courthouses today. At the second, someone was sobbing outside the courtroom. They'd asked ChatGPT what to say in Court. They believed what it told them.
They lost because it hallucinated, and they didn't know there were no do-overs.
