Saying Black trans women deserve to exist means believing them when they speak. It means respecting their names, pronouns, and identities. Recognition is not kindness it is basic dignity that has been denied for far too long.

I'm an immigrant.
I teach American (and international!) college students, research the U.S. economy, consult with policymakers, write books, raise my kids, pay taxes, and try to make this a better place.

Megyn Kelly’s response to Billie Eilish’s anti-ICE speech at the Grammys was to tell her to shut up and “sing for me, bitch.”

None More Wonderful Than Man: Art, Artists, and MAGA’s Hollow View of Humanity
MAGA sees art as nothing more than a tool of self-aggrandizement, and artists as less than human.

it is so hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that Israel now accepts numbers that SO MANY journalists smeared for being propaganda and they still won't miss a beat in their genocide denial
The Israeli gov has finally admitted that the data from the Gaza Health Ministry on the number of Palestinians killed is in fact accurate.
I continue to be astounded by the shamelessness of genocide deniers. And I fear that the actual number of Palestinians killed is far greater.

The so-called SAVE America Act could block over 21 million eligible citizens from voting by forcing in-person citizenship document requirements.

Democrats have released their list of demands for ICE—these are the things they want before they provide the seven votes Republicans need to fund DHS. I think this is the BARE MINIMUM. So keep calling your Democratic senators and tell them to stay strong.

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic
Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "We hit 'em. And we want to hit 'em right, sir, and we want to hit them from the top! East, west, north, south. Sir, they won't know what the hell! And we'll knock them out. We did it politically correct. Five years."

Like if executing people point-blank in the street wasn’t evidence enough, DHS is abandoning pets when they abduct their victims. Not to mention pets who don’t get fed when their humans don’t come home. It’s an entire agency of puppy killers and it starts at the top.

🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.
