The most openly racist, eugenicist monsters are running the U.S. They will use every opportunity to advance their agenda.

And as the wheels come off their regime they will only grow more brutal and obscene. These are dangerous days for us all.

Disabled people deserve healthcare.

Disabled people deserve housing.

Disabled people deserve food.

Disabled people deserve support.

Our ability to work and produce for capitalism should not determine our value.

Disability is not a moral failing. Most people will experience it someday.

It’s really rubbing me the wrong way that tech companies want to call it “hoarding” that some people aren’t buying new devices. Not acquiring more stuff is the opposite of hoarding.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

6 years ago, as I prepared to host students for Thanksgiving, I received a call informing me Harvard denied me tenure. Before I had a chance to process, it was all public. This year the memory stings more as I watch dear colleagues and friends like @durba.bsky.social experience the same violence.

Celebrating today as it should be done: watching PHILADELPHIA STORY, WOMAN OF THE YEAR, ALL ABOUT EVE, and GUYS AND DOLLS while drinking whiskey (neat) and exchanging rapid-fire banter with my wife.

There's a reason the holiday is called "Manksgiving," after all.

I’m mindful today of those for whom this is their first Thanksgiving without a loved one. I’m praying for a measure of peace and the comfort of beautiful memories.

The President’s response of sending 500 more National Guards is unacceptable as a policy matter; so without any after review of how and why this situation occurred, you are placing more National Guards in danger? A security breach this significant and your response is to send more troops?

We're gonna need a truth and reconciliation commission and Nuremberg style trials to reckon with all of this evil, and any Dem candidate for office who shies away from a full reckoning in the name of "moving forward as a nation" can get well and truly fucked

The US regime is trying to export its culture wars again. We should be clear: in our jurisdiction human rights standards, based on dignity and autonomy – not the whims of Christian nationalists – mean that abortion is healthcare.

Every ten minutes.

Let that sink in.

Women are killed every ten minutes by intimate partners or family members.

This is why we call out misogyny and patriarchal values.

This is why the President shouldn’t get away with calling female reporters “pigs”

Enough.
137 women and girls killed every day by partners or family, U.N. says
Every 10 minutes a woman somewhere in the world was killed by intimate partners or family members in 2024, according to a U.N. report.

The rising unemployment rate among Black women is a five-alarm fire.

It is a crisis for Black women, Black families, and Black futures—and a glaring red flag for our economy.
