Update on Pedro Mendoza Chávez: While he was in the hospital, ICE refused to let his wife see or speak to him, and an officer told her he had fallen. Pedro, 63, says agents kicked him to the ground. Instead of being in a hospital, he's at an ICE detention facility in Taylor, Texas.

Correct. We should lose the biblical foundation for marriage and gender. Those ancient religious rules have no business governing modern society. But we don’t need Adam and Eve, or any religion at all, to recognize the sanctity and value of human life.

“When God had made The Man, he made him out of stuff that sung all the time and glittered all over. Some angels got jealous and chopped him into millions of pieces, but still he glittered and hummed. So they beat him down to nothing but sparks but each little spark had a shine and a song.” 💜 eternal

I loved A.R. Moxon's first collection of essays, VERY FINE PEOPLE, so you should definitely check out his new one, FIGHTING IN THE DARK! His style reminds me of Adam Serwer. There's a great mixture of anger, insight, and reality-based hope.

You all. My book is out. You can buy it and everything. You can ask your library to carry it. You can put it in tiny libraries by the side of the road. Nobody can stop you. It's available in all the places, but you can get signed copies here: schulerbooks.com/authorarmoxon Go do the thing!

A promotional image for Fighting in the Dark, by AR Moxon. On the left side, a thumbnail image of the cover of the book, which features the title in blue text in a diagonal, and the authors name in white. To the right of this, two blurbs, the first of which reads: "There's a think A.R. Moxon does that I've watched other political writers try and fail at: he holds fury and tenderness in the same sentence. He names the traps fascism sets for us (the false unity, the offer of easy complicity, the fake peace that asks you to pretend people aren't being hurt) more clearly than anyone I've read. This is the book I've been handing out piecemeal for two years, finally in one place." -Parker Molloy, The Present Age the second blurb reads: "In this absolutely brilliant marriage of storytelling and political insight, Andrew isn't afraid to speak truth to power. In fact, he gets up in its face in the middle of the cafeteria and challenges it to a fight." -Wil Wheaton, author of Dancing Barefoot and Still Just a Geek

If safety and fairness is your concern, excluding marginalized school children from school activities is neither fair nor does it promote safety. Exclusion isn’t what we should be about, and it’s not all that complicated. We ought to be better.

it's wild how republicans will be like "governing is bad, also elect me to govern you" and people do and they put their promise into practice and don't govern, run everything off a cliff, bankrupt everyone, light the world on fire, and after a while people forget about that and let them do it again

The best way to fast-track a U.S. show of goodwill to the rest of the world is to surrender yourselves and your guilty to the ICC. That means demanding that your representatives and senators make ratifying the Rome Statute a key item on their political to-do list. It starts with you.

I’d also note that Slotkin’s reduction of the term “oligarch” to “king” strips it of any meaningful context, because a “king” is a cartoon bad guy in Robin Hood, and an “oligarch” in Slotkin’s parlance is a “scary Russian businessman.” Americans aren’t oligarchs because American capitalism is good.

If you can find common ground with Jared kusher, but not zohran mamdani, you shouldn't be in democratic leadership

“Representative Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, met privately in recent weeks with Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and top outside adviser, and discussed potential areas of common ground, according to five people with knowledge of the meeting.” BRUH.

BREAKING (and I use this tag with purpose and intention): The DNC has rejected efforts to ban Ranked Choice Voting from being used in presidential primaries. A huge win for DC, Maine, Alaska and other states who love our RCV systems and want the full voices of our voters to matter in 2028. Big W!
