Had to do a historical rant on the racism behind trying to end Birthright Citizenship and the terrifying decision to take up Barbara v. Trump by SCOTUS

A student getting a bad grade isn’t actually a violation of 1A! Claiming it is could be another step in enforcing Christian nationalism. My latest substack on the controversy at Oklahoma University open.substack.com/pub/miabrett...

The Zionist denial of atrocities in Gaza are getting more and more absurd. Medinat Israel will never be the answer to Jewish safety and liberation. My latest plea

The more and more I saw that video of the exercise class in front of an ICE building the more irritated I got that people actually think its a helpful protest. It's not. It's basically just dancing in front of a concentration camp

This Brooklynite votes early, in the rain, and for Mamdani!

I just wrote a personal plea to Jews who are scared of Zohran Mamdani to look beyond the fearmongering and see that he is truly the best choice for all New Yorkers including Jews

Y'all my mom is publishing her first book of poetry and she's using a picture of me from my early 20s as the cover

I’m sick on my couch so Tchotchke and I are digging in to hate watch the second season of #NobodyWantsThis. So far he is not amused

I have a huge pet peeve for when tv and movies are talking about someone being a great artist and then show some Thomas Kinkade bullshit.

The Voting Rights Act is yet again in danger! The current SCOTUS case is trying to use the VRA's prohibition against racial gerrymanders to claim a fixed map is discriminatory against white people. Read my latest (w/ a link to @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social article)

There are so many lies associated with Columbus Day. He didn't discover America, he wasn't "a man of his time," and the holiday is not a response to "the largest mass lynching in US history." All these lies serve to whitewash US history. open.substack.com/pub/miabrett...

I was enjoying the hating so much I decided to actually listen to The Life of a Showgirl & decided we weren't hating on it enough. Taylor Swift's message seems to be that finding a husband saves you from singledom driving you mad like Ophelia

For this week's installment on the Criminalization of Motherhood I discussed the presumption of guilt on mothers when their children die from stillbirths, to SIDS, to shaken baby syndrome, to tragic accidents

There is no amount of cozying up to fascism that saves Jews from it. The ADL gave cover for antisemitism and scorched their reputation only for the Trump admin to attack them at the first chance

A lot of people are wondering who Groypers are right now. I was targeted by them years ago.

The second article in my new series on the Criminalization of Motherhood discusses RFK's nonsensical claim about taking Tylenol while pregnant causing autism and the history of policing drug use while pregnant
