ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

Why We Must Fight to Stop HR 7661 Before It Destroys the Lives of American Children Lately I’ve been calling my House rep and screaming about one zillion things, and maybe you have too. But today I want to talk about one thing in particular you should add to your list: H.R. 7661 i…

I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...

In my own life, I also observe fewer people willing to stand up for fat people, and more people willing to defend or explain away anti-fatness.

Like, solidarity with people who are fatter than oneself really feels like it has evaporated in a way that's both heartbreaking and frightening.

not entirely the point but also a reminder that Substack just partnered with Polymarket so if you needed another reason to get off the Nazi platform, this is it

What we are seeing is a deliberate, well-funded campaign to make transgender Americans second-class citizensβ€”without legal protections and vulnerable to state violence.

Don't accept the lie that the U.S. was pulled into anything. Neocons like Rubio have been publicly dreaming of war with Iran for my entire life.
They are pretending to follow Israel because it foments their base's anti-semitism and obscures the U.S. empire's explicit support.

whether war, vaccines, or critical infrastructure there is contingent of the right that seems to believe that their security from the worst things that happen is some kind of metaphysical principle rather than the result of specific historical processes that could've gone otherwise and still could

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

pretty confident that if our own government bombed, say, Philadelphia, we'd just kind forget about it after a couple more Rocky movies

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE

it will result in dead trans people

and with their other goal of making us β€œsexually explicit” for existing

you see the pipeline right?

we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die

WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS

I love that your work is reclaiming Black history and present day Black experiences lost by flattening and segregating Black and Latin identity as our own. Something that we, as Black Americans from the U.S., can embrace.

I’m bringing a Pan-African approach to studying the game. Baseball is the last place where these intersecting identities should be erased. The anticolonial elements of Black baseball culture do not get emphasized enough. You had, less than 100 years ago, Black players from Cuba and Alabama playing across the United States and the Americas. Black baseball players who were discriminated in their hometowns were treated like celebrities in South America. Before Jackie Robinson was allowed to play on a Major League field, he did a tour of Venezuela alongside Josh Gibson and other Negro League stars. There's an idiom in Venezuela that’s something like β€œDon’t pull a Willie Mays.” Why? Because when Willie Mays was in the Venezuelan Winter League, he struggled for a week. That’s the level of cultural impact they had. I want to preserve those stories.

Pat dropped so many gems about why we, as Black Americans, should embrace the fullness of Black history across the diaspora. He provides a model of solidarity I think we can all share.

How can baseball connect of all Black history? The writer Pat Ellington Jr. shows [eyeblack] how Francisco Lindor and Ronald AcuΓ±a helped him reclaimed the fullness of Black history.

NEW: I spoke to the journalist and researcher Pat Ellington, Jr., whose singular work expands the fullness and depth of Black history through Francisco Lindor, Ronald AcuΓ±a, and the global impact of baseball.

Pat has an archival knowledge of the global Black diaspora’s participation in baseball. He connects dots like few I’ve ever met.

I’m grateful he spoke to [eyeblack] www.readeyeblack.com/p/eyeblack-h...

The entire Democratic strategy debate β€” "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? β€” is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.

it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.
