Friend: I feel like we don’t talk anymore.

Me: Well, you tell me that I’m overreacting when you think a conversation is becoming too “political” and it’s usually a topic that really matters to me, so we might not have much to talk about for a while.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Just a reminder! If you're buying books in support of #BannedBooksWeek buying from Amazon undercuts the broader project of social justice supporting the right to read is a part of. Get your banned books absolutely anywhere else!

Amazon is the invisible backbone of ICE’s immigration crackdown

In early August, the indomitable Chicago AIDS activist Lori Cannon passed away. She was an irreplaceable resource while I was writing The Great Believers, and inspiration, angel, and friend to thousands. 🧵

A person has zero creativity when they think the only song that represents America is “God bless the USA” 🥴
