When the NEA asked us to promise not to publish trans, nonbinary, or gender fluid authors, we told them to kick rocks. (Actually, formally, with a unanimous vote by the Board of Directors, we told them to kick rocks.) So the NEA rescinded our funding.

"I feel like what people are not mentioning in this story is that this building is one block away from the beach," she said. "This is an attempt at gentrification. Point blank, period."
"This building, what they're trying to do is have it be luxury housing in 5 years," she further opined.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."
In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together
"Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Khojasteh was contesting whether agents' activity actually chilled free speech, which earned some pushback from Judge Ellis.
"The fact that people can be courageous is utterly irrelevant" as to whether agents' activity caused a chilling effect, the judge said.
