I genuinely love when you’re in a liminal space, like an airport, and then you have to pass through a liminal space in the liminal space, like a weird hallway under construction - that’s the feeling I’m always looking for in my writing

Several states (including California, Michigan, Oregon, and Wisconsin) have announced that they’ve begun processing full food stamp payments. Thank you to those states for stepping up to support families in need!

They’ve bombed abortion clinics, killed doctors, sentenced women to death over unwanted pregnancies, killed trans and queer people for asking for rights. There’s literally no kind of political violence that I’ve not seen come from the right in this country, and it’s never engaged with seriously.

The LA protests will trigger a drumbeat of "law and order" messaging from the White House and their media allies as a prelude to invoking the Insurrection Act.
This is entirely predictable, and any Dem or media outlet that facilitates this narrative will be aiding Trump's authoritarian project.
