For the four years Joe Biden was President, Greg Abbott provoked a showdown with the White House over immigration. Now he’s paving the way for Donald Trump’s mass-deportation campaign.

"Vance calling the economy a "dumpster fire" is, of course, absurd - unemployment at 4.1%, prime-age employment near a 20-year high, and inflation at 2.7%. But the truly galling part is that they knew they had no hope of bringing prices down. They just lied about it anyway."

A newly translated collection of Pedro Lemebel’s crónicas—a Latin American hybrid combining observation, memoir, reportage, and fiction—focusses on gender-nonconforming locas living under Chile’s dictatorship and the AIDS epidemic.
Pedro Lemebel, a Radical Voice for Calamitous Times
Lemebel’s writing was entirely focussed on those living on the farthest margins of society—people escaping the norms and seen as different.

So that the revolution does not completely rot
I leave you with a message
Not for my sake
I am old …
There are so many children who will be born
With a little broken wing
And I want them to fly, comrade
I want your revolution
To drop them a piece of red heaven
So that they fly
