Truly, what an honor to be part of this cohort of books—every one a banger. We’re all celebrating together on Oct. 23 with the American Studies Association’s DH Caucus. Come join!

Somebody said "They voted for racism and got poverty" The thing is... social scientists and economists have been saying for the last 50 years Racism is austerity

Her "immigration status" is that she's been a US citizen longer than either Melania Trump or Elon Musk. The Democrats SHOULD use this opportunity for 100% solidarity with one of their own, and throw the fucking kitchen sink at Trump and his Republicans. I doubt they will but would LOVE to be wrong.

Lol... And yes, the crowd was cheering them on... Clapping with each successful run A reminder that there are also lots of good, kind people out there.

Now for something a little different. 🍂 Over the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, I went for a walk and was lucky enough to catch the salmon still making their run here in #Toronto. Watching them push upstream was a powerful reminder that while the current may be strong, purpose is stronger. 🐟💪

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

the year is 2026. it’s unclear if the white house press secretary knows how to read.

This can happen here. This WILL happen here.

This is not "a controversial vaccine trial," it's biological warfare, conducted by European researchers on African infants. It's imperialism, racism, eugenics, and the hubris of incredibly stupid people. It's denying vaccines to newborns! In what fuckin universe is this a "vaccine trial"?

Just when I think I can’t hate AI more than I already do, they find a way!
