We are not being asked to sit in a trench. We are not being asked to sign a document that will get us hanged. We are being asked to stay engaged. That's it. After 250 years of Americans dying for this idea, that's all we owe. I wrote about it here.

ZOHRAN MAMDANI: "It is sad that for too many Americans when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, they have to turn to a history book."
Florida universities are partnering with ICE, giving campus police power to question and arrest students over immigration status.

No-one tells you about the dark side of literary translation, chaining Tunnocks teacakes in a dark room at 3 a.m., flicking fitfully between Orthodox vestments dot com & that list you made of synonyms for sparkle, all the while picking Bombay mix from the folds of your duvet & trying not to pass out

The Artemis astronauts are aged 47, 50, 49, and 50, and that is yet ANOTHER fact that is giving me life at the moment.
Follow this thread.
Most likely, and of course, all speculation right now, this is why Melania did her 6 min statement today.
Amanda Ungaro was brought here as a 17-year-old model. She flew to NYC on Epstein's private plane.

Today, for example, I learned about the trailblazing #Senegalese writer and editor Alioune Diop, and I'm ashamed never to have heard of this anticolonialist hero before--but better late than never. 💜 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alioune...
They're speaking the only language he understands.

Every book I #translate shows me that there are SO MANY THINGS about which I know nothing. So much history, so many great people, so much tragedy and injustice, so much bravery and triumph. The research I do for my translations only scrapes the surface. There is so much to LEARN, and so little time.
Translation at Collected Books in Durham on 22nd April at 7:30 pm! Sophie Lewis, translator of Hélène Cixous's groundbreaking novel ANGST, talks to @ruthclarke.bsky.social collectedbooks.co.uk/collections/...

The UN’s under secretary general for humanitarian affairs has accused the US president of war crimes by bombing bridges and threatening further attacks on Iran’s infrastructure

I don't know what SCOTUS will do on birthright citizenship case, it's anybody's guess. But if they endorse Trump's diktat, the only response is defiance. Outright, open defiance by the states. A decision not just erroneous but illegitimate, beyond their power, null and void from the day it's issued.
We all know this is fascism.
My book came out the same day as Lindy’s and has gotten far less attention.
But may I humbly submit that if you’d like to know who ACTUALLY killed Roe, you should skip Helen Lewis and instead read…this book?

Everything happening now in Lebanon & Iran—the killing of schoolchildren, the targeting of hospitals & healthcare workers, the murder of journalists & its open justification, the bombing of universities—every single war crime that has been normalized was forced upon our consciousness first in Gaza
My Lindy West hot take is that the book about her divorce will probably rule.
the same number of troops have died in this war that died in the evacuation of afghanistan fyi, weird how the media has decided that isn’t a point to drive home this time
