We’re glad that Kristi Noem has been fired and she should face real accountability for DHS’ rampant violence.
But Noem’s firing doesn’t suddenly solve the crisis at DHS. Swapping personnel without changing course is not accountability — it’s a spin tactic. What we really need is structural change.
And another one I've been excited about out now from @rustandmoth.bsky.social rustandmoth.com/work/inherit...

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
Whether you’re represented by Democrats or Republicans, it’s extra important for your Members of Congress to hear from you right now.
Urge your elected officials to use every lever in their toolbox to put an immediate stop to Trump’s illegal war with Iran.
Submissions are open! Send us your strange, your disciplined, your heartfelt.
OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.
He finally died.
I am so angry.

AOC because she’s one of the only politicians in the country capable of side-stepping the burning wreckage of legacy media and getting her message to the American people. Also JD Vance fucks couches.
I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is
DHS funding ran out over the weekend. Democrats made it clear they would not support any appropriations bill without restrictions on ICE — and when the vote came, they did not fold.
Now we must encourage our Members of Congress to keep holding the line to stop ICE’s terror tactics for good.
It’s time to turn up the pressure on the Republicans who are demanding more money for the regime’s secret police. Help us contact voters in key states and connect them with their GOP senators to demand that ICE’s terror tactics be stopped for good.
I’m excited to that share my poem, “A Canoe,” appears in Rust & Moth’s Spring 2026 issue. Many thanks to the editors @rustandmoth.bsky.social
wealth concentration is already 200% as bad at is was in 2020. think about that
This kind of blatant hate is designed to scare women—particularly White women—into silence and submission. But fury is the better response here, because complicity is no protection from hate.
