Have to be clear just how dangerous this is. If it continues, it effectively removes constitutional rights from an entire class of people. Imagine you had to fear that if you criticize the regime, any error on paperwork filled out by your family decades ago could be used to strip your citizenship.

KRISTI NOEM: I'm confident Ilhan Omar will finally be held accountable for her crimes? BENNY JOHNSON: What are those crimes? NOEM: When people apply to come to this country, if you go back and find that anything could be wrong or misrepresented, that's when it voids or cancels their citizenship

aside from everything else, the hands-down best answer to "if I loved Lonesome Dove and wish I could read Lonesome Dove again for the first time, what should I read next" is imo obviously Colson Whitehead's Harlem Trilogy, the final book of which came out this year

I’m outraged by this attack on Representative Omar. Trump and his DOJ have a bizarre obsession with tearing down Minnesota, our leaders and our communities. This latest action, even as voting has already started in Minnesota, is a transparent attempt to interfere in our elections.

That time someone dumped a toy house on the cemetery wall and, when I crouched a bit, some ✨ Hollywood Magic ✨ occurred.

This is an official purpose tho, the official purpose is the game show host president wants a taxpayer funded pentagon snuff film, officially

The last time the Army executed a soldier by firing squad in 1945, regulations prohibited photos or filming unless for official purposes. It also called for a band to play "Dead March" on the way in, and "a lively air" on the way out www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/u...

Today, and every day, we stand with the Somali community.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

My treasured Anne Carson story: A few years ago, she attended the party for a book I’d worked on, and when I told her how much I loved her work, she said—without missing a beat—“Well, I love your editing.” 💯🥹❤️

It's not so much that we need to be afraid of AI itself, it's that we are afraid of what most *men* want to do with it -- to us.

Chef Melissa King's memoir is out today. Here, I interview her about taking five years to write it herself, why she felt readers needed to learn her family's complicated backstory to know about her, and about the one ingredient she'll never cook with www.weareravenous.com/its-good-to-...

It's Good to Be the King

Holy shit.

If you're in these states, *TODAY* is deadline to register to vote. Arizona, Arkansas Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas. Even if you think you've registered: doesn't hurt to check! And there's a lot happening across them. A thread with stakes on each. ⬇️

New: As gay bars across the country say that Meta is flagging and deactivating their accounts without warning, I spoke to an Austin queer bar that says Meta nearly destroyed their ability to advertise events: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

How Meta's new content moderation upended a Texas gay bar

At least one LGBTQ establishment in Texas says the social media giant has incorrectly disabled its social media account, potentially hurting business.

Just a reminder that these Haitian immigrants in Springfield -- who came here legally, did everything they were asked to do and more -- became a target of federal crackdowns because the white nationalist vice president shamelessly spread racist lies about them.

J.D. Vance Defends False Claims Against Haitians: 'If I Have to Create Stories… That's What I'm Going to Do'

A Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status. He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted. “Pierre was doing what he was supposed to do. We did not do right by him.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The problem has never really been that conservative voters are reluctant to criticize Trump. The problem is a relentless right-wing media apparatus that tells them Democrats are worse.

It would be interesting to check back in with this guy in like a year or two to see what his thoughts are, given that he has his mom and her friend pouring poison in his ear about how pierre was a white-hating suicide bomber & bad waiter, & the other trucker is still complaining about immigrants

This was wild to see. My first time writing for the screen. My thanks to Zoe Kazan for inviting me on this journey back in 2023, and my agent Jason Richman and everyone at @unitedtalentagency.bsky.social for their work on my behalf.

As an aside, maybe you felt your high income and elevated caste status made you white adjacent enough to justify a Trump vote because they would never come for you. Looks like the joke’s on you, uncle

Forget Carrie Bradshaw’s book party. Samantha Jones should’ve released a memoir called PUBLIC RELATIONS.

In light of all the horrible sexual assault in the news, this from my conversation with Kate Manne in February at Princeton still sums up my thoughts. Power =\= Good Men(tm). Power = Power.

Apropos of nothing, I get a lot of mileage out of this meme.

Today, 8 years ago, my friend, Saudi Journalist and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered.

Turned in 78 more pages of the new novel to my editor tonight, bringing the manuscript now to 343. I’m turning in sections every Monday until it is all in. We’re close.

Very excited to share the cover of my new book JUST BENEATH THE SOIL: WORLD WAR II THROUGH THE EYES OF ITS LAST WITNESSES. It will be out May 4, 2027. I learned so much writing this book and truly can't wait to share it with you all. It’s available for preorder now: sites.prh.com/justbeneatht...

A woman’s lifetime of suffering is weighed against a potential temporary setback in a man’s career, and the man’s self-induced plight always carries more weight.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but just fucking don’t film or photograph strangers who are just minding their business and not hurting anyone. I don’t care if they’re dressed weird, or “faking disabled” (they probably aren’t), or are adorable together. Just don’t.
