Have mostly handled what was a terrifyingly backed up query pile and am back open to new work. Would love to read something unexpected and walloping!

You can't shame MAGA. It's impossible to shame shameless people. I go on and debate them, trust me. They will make excuses for and glorify Musk's Nazi salute and Trump pardoning violent insurrectionists. But remember there's a world out there - and the majority opposes it. Be loud. Don't be silent.

Just saw Rick Scott of Florida saying he hasn't looked into the pardons (!)
GOP Senators may be the most pathetic people on earth. They will spend 2025 to 2029, just like 2021 to 2025, pretending they haven't seen or heard what Trump just did and what they know they can't defend. Shameless stuff.

Like so many of you, my friend @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social and I have been having a conversation about this country’s future.
Now we’re turning our dialogue into a book featuring poems and essays from Marlon James, Alexander Chee, Ashley C. Ford, Chase Strangio, Imani Perry and more!

Millions of Americans voluntarily bent their knee to one of the worst men on Earth. This will be studied by future generations with both shock and horror. Sadly, we have to live it...or try to survive it.

Chuck, you have a book called Antisemitism in America coming out in March. Care to say anything about the Nazi salutes we all witnessed today?
It is time to look to the future.
The challenges that face America are many and great.
The Senate must respond with resolve, bipartisanship, and fidelity to the working and middle class of this country.

anytime i see people going "what would the point be of democrats talking and pushing things they want to do if they don't have the votes to pass it" i try to imagine the republicans of the last 30 years going "we don't have enough votes to ban abortion so we won't try and you should stop asking"

Just been in awe of the work the team at Octavia's Bookshelf has been doing in response to the fires. It's a powerful reminder of both the existing power of local third spaces AND the potential for a better world if our economy centered such places. Read about their work here...1/2

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

This was basically the first thing I learned as I transitioned from poverty to lower middle class via my work in literature and media. The very rich are very very miserable. Doesn’t excuse bad behavior, but they’re not like…enjoying themselves the way I’d imagined.
megawealth is a curse! you become acutely aware of the needs you have that cannot be satisfied through material means AND you are socially ill-positioned to be in a place where you can experience authentic human connection because everyone around you has every incentive to lie to you!
it is *wild* how a primary effect of unspendable wealth can be making someone incomprehensibly thin-skinned

"And yet prominent right wing influencers and political figures, including President-elect Donald Trump, are falsely blaming the fires' destructiveness on the city not having enough water to fight the blazes." Sad to see all the replies from people who don't get it.
Influencers and politicians are spreading false narratives about water and the L.A. wildfires. These include the idea that farm moguls took firefighting water and an empty reservoir is part of a plot.

The ERA has ironically become a marker of how far we've backslid on women's rights. It passed Congress nearly 50 years ago, but there's basically no chance it would pass today.
