Can’t believe nobody wanted to read the articles nobody bothered to write
I wrote about the labels we make for ourselves, and how they limit us.
Another example of a thing @amywestervelt.bsky.social and i both (for different things but same root causes) talk about in terms of how hard it is to _do_ the work we do & fundraise for it at the same time, where the right simply dumps nearly limitless money into anything that moves their agenda fwd
U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
Me at dinner: So what terrible thing happened today? I haven’t had time to look.
Husband: Oh, it was really stupid. Let’s not talk about it now.
Me looking at phone after dinner: OK, there’s about ten different things you could have been talking at.
Photo of 7 year old Diana Crespo sitting with her parents at a table in a restaurant. Her dad is giving a thumbs up.
The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!
this is a very cool thing to do and also highlights one of the biggest keys to Zohran's appeal: he just thinks New York City is really neat
people who live somewhere want to vote for someone who likes it there and wants to make it better, not someone who wants to use it as a springboard
CHOTINER: And the pizza place, what’s it called?
ME: Dominos.
CHOTINER: Right. And you can order from your laptop?
ME: Yeah. Well, I can also use my phone. Sometimes that’s quicker.
CHOTINER: And all the food in your fridge and pantry. When do you eat that?
ME: Now hang on a second,
friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding in Melania theaters bc he knows people assume no one is in there
As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island).
The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
"We may have gotten into a dynamic where you see me as being the 'political' one, or overly anxious, and you want me to calm down. What I need you to understand is that you're forcing me to hold a responsibility that rightfully belongs to both of us." -- @anya1anya.bsky.social
Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.
ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA -- our latest on the murder of Alex Pretti and the actions we should take right now:
Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.
🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇
There you have it.
ICE has never been about immigration enforcement.
It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.
Important messaging. AOC seeks to stave off civil war.
Might be useful to say that.
REMINDER: If you want Dem senators to shut down ICE/DHS funding here are the Senators to focus on:
Cortez-Masto
Fetterman
Rosen
Shaheen
Hassan
King
Gillibrand
Peters
Murray
And also probably Durbin, Schumer, Schatz.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice."
Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.
The entire range of my interests in a single photograph.
Minnesota is the best of us.
Current conditions in Minneapolis for those abroad that think Americans aren't pushing back.
I'm on the Green Line towards downtown Minneapolis ICE OUT protest.
The train filled immediately. Even 20 stops away from our destination we reached capacity.
People are cheering at every stop when they see people waiting to board because we are all starting to realize how big this is.
Cannot see the end of it.
Something evil came to Minnesota and something good and extraordinarily powerful has risen up to meet it
