Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

legitimately love this guy.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

NEW — I wrote about Beker Rengifo, a Montana resident from Venezuela who was taken by ICE on Thursday after a routine traffic stop, and how local law enforcement is working with the feds to ensnare people with legal status.
ICE abducts Montana resident with legal humanitarian status
Beker Rengifo is the latest victim of Trump's reckless and illegal war on migrants.

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers.

I just wrote about how Trump's speech last night was a farce. Worse, the fact that all the major networks gave him time to delivery is a tragedy for a free press and democracy.

This is actually a good example of why the customer model is wrong.
I wouldn't have chosen poetry writing, but UNC made me take a class. And it absolutely made me become a much better writer, with an eye to concision and an ear now trained to the rhythm of words. I'm a better historian as a result.

If you are providing me with an education that is low utility in the world then it’s a disservice. My composition class spent four weeks on poetry. I’m sorry, but that only would’ve been useful if I wanted to be a poet. I don’t need to know iambic pentameter in order to be a victim advocate.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

I know there’s lots of talk about 2026, but there’s a big election in Tennessee December of THIS year. Pay attention to Aftyn Behn, running for Congress in Tennessee’s 7th District. She’s 35 & a former social worker. A recent poll had her within the margin of error. Republicans are running scared.
