The world is on fire, my students are burning, and my English department is holding a meeting about standardizing fonts and headings.

When he was arrested, he said, "I'm I.C.E., boys." 😡

I reached a deal with the burglar. He gets to keep all of my possessions that he can carry and I get to call the police one hour after he leaves.

Trump is destroying the White House. Another step in Trump’s attempt to demolish the United States.

This whole year has been terrifying, but this is the scariest yet. What do we do? How do we stop these horrors?
ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
