Another shutdown for parts of the federal government is expected this weekend as lawmakers debate new restrictions on President Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda.
Unlike last fall's record shutdown, the closures will be confined, as only agencies under DHS will be affected.

After despising Crouch for decades, I impulse-purchased Considering Genius when I first saw it in paperback. A great read alongside Amiri Baraka's late-'00s collection Digging. And Ethan's 2007 interview here should be posthumously added to future printings of Crouch's collection.

This has been the coolest part of the last few months, all of these people stopping Kat on the street to just shoot the shit about what’s working and what’s not because they know her from Instagram or the TV. It happens… a lot. They’re usually people who say they don’t vote but now they will.
One person at a time. One tea stop at a time. One vote at a time.
Walks like this not only remind us what we’re fighting for but also how we can represent our communities better.
We’ll be on Devon again today! Hope to see you there 🧡
