The year was 2012. I was living my best life in Philly. D’Angelo was on tour w Mary J Blige, his first in a decade. My friend Carmen & I had a TIME seeing em at Mann Center. A week later, saw him again at Made in America.
I feel so lucky to have seen his gift live. What a loss.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

George was just trying to get to work.
ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.
This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

So thrilled to see the incredible Passamaquoddy basket maker Jeremy Frey get awarded a MacArthur. His art, born of centuries of Wabanaki community, land, and weaving tradition, is beyond stunning.
Maine should be so so proud.

It’s really all we should be talking about today.
There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Another low key terrifying sign of how deeply anti-choicers + natalists have adapted messaging their misinformation to focus on 'wellness.' Convincing people to stop birth control achieves their end of more pregnant people, just as abortion access shrinks.

Children should never have to shield each other from bullets, share scraps of food despite rumbling bellies, or sacrifice their bodies or hearts or dreams because adults are more committed to terror and violence and power than they ever have been to the health, safety, and care of children.
