Thirteen years ago, a handful of us fought like hell to protect a book that humanized Iran. Jarrett Dapier and AJ Dungo tell an urgent story beautifully.

The downside of the rise of women's sports is the emergence of the dude who needs to comment on every play.

We watched Karina Villa chase down ICE in a suit and heels, telling them to get out of her community. Margaret Croke intentionally panicked white parents about their selective enrollment schools vanishing if neighborhood schools received additional funding. This race is ICE whistles vs. dogwhistles.

Facebook is down, right?

BSky! If you're a new women's sports fan, what do you need help with? Picking a team? Finding merch? Rules? I'm a vet to this game. Hit me with questions!

The Black joy each time "Sinners" wins is just a delight.

Also totally missed that Robert Trebor died. That weird man made Xena such a silly show.

Dear gawd it's been quite a year. Lost so many giants.

It was soooo cute.

Now that is the shenanigans I was hoping for tonight. LOL!

I figured Hudson would show up, but it was really such a joy to see it. In a very dumb skit, but I knew this wasn't gonna be great.

I knew the guys would show up. Megan & Hilary were a surprise. And FABULOUS surprise.

zero redemption is what they deserve.

OK, that monologue was good. Good digs at the guys.

Stayed home today and deciding to watch "Come See M in the Good Light" so let's go... got popcorn & tissues.

A must read analysis of the sh1t show that is the US men's hockey debacle.

The coffee shop is playing Norah Jones and omg, why don't I listen to her more often? Every time I hear her voice it is a balm to my soul.

One of the things I love about Gen Z is how they take all the little millennial snark sayings seriously. We said “hang it in the louvre” for two decades and they said “bet”

The Ugly Underbelly of the US Hockey Victory The real Olympic heroes were the athletes who stood up for each other—and against Trump.

My latest piece @thenation.com written with @julesboykoff.bsky.social: There was something rotten lurking beneath the US men's gold medal hockey win and not just because they partied with Kash Patel.

Peace, Love, & Cry Baby Crying is the worst.

Fresh edition of my newsletter. Read why I hate crying & I really hate that it is my biggest menopause symptom.

They have to get back to their jobs & families. Also they know they aren't welcomed. Bravo, champs.

Cause the women play with full masks. The men could avoid losing teeth but that might look weak.

THEY GOT IT FROM THEIR MAMA!

Good to see the boys keeping up with our golden girls.

OMG!

Caught up with @sarahspain.com & busted out laughing that she asked Sophia Kirky about the pasta. Such a Sarah question to ask. Why I listen every day.

Lists are meant to provoke, and power doesn't equal goodness. With that said, an explicit fascist with negligible reach in Chicago inches away from an elected Black woman labor leader; one gets a cute lil' photo and the other gets a jarring, racist caricature (and called a troll). These are choices.

Levito was sweet. Glenn was great, even if it wasn't as great as she wanted. 💔

Liu was magical. Breathtaking.
