Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.

I'm thrilled to share that my debut novel, Lessons in Attention, will be out with @tinhouse.bsky.social in 2026! A testament to faith, friendship, and how people change us, it follows a series of friends as they attempt to reach one another across Oxford, Oslo, Brazil. Can't wait to share it 🤗

“A 2010 study that analyzed 40 years of protest coverage in five major newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, found that the papers depicted protests — even peaceful ones — as nuisances rather than as necessary functions of democracy.”

There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

The chapter focuses on efforts to commemorate the loss of trees to disease, such as this beautiful sculpture 'The Gilded Elm' in Brighton which marks the death of a 400-year old English elm tree. The sculpture was created with the remnants of that tree after it had succumbed to Dutch elm disease

little pieces of language are ours

When people ask how those without access to systems of power might combat the rising fascist tide — think of graffiti. The radical orgs of the 70s knew this. It’s visible, it sticks in the mind, it establishes the presence of the speaker not as an individual but as a representative of the collective
I love this graffiti (in Minecraft)

If you can't write: [insert words that matter to you, to me, to us. To our times, past, present, future, uncertain, in-between. To those you know and love]. What do you write? How to write ______ without saying ______. Asking for the purposes of ______ grants. ______ glossary. Asking for a friend.
I teach creative writing. Arguably a topic with really no organic connection to the moment. Some students think so. But isn’t the erasure of swathes of words from current use in vast sections of life touched by Feds an issue for writers? It is, of course. Language always is. 9/

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.
No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."
Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."
It's a big step towards very bad things.
