This is the correct relationship for a writer to have with her editor

Yeah cause it’s the kind of thing you propose building to appease the ego of a narcissistic leader whose army just got its asked kicked by a Black military general (Touissant L’Overture) and Black enslaved people who ran your troops off their island.

It’s a monument to ego and defeat. Perfect.

All you Dem MFs running in the midterms, you can't point to polling anymore as your reason for being wishy-washy on this right here. So we'll know damn well where your bread is buttered if you do

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Filled with excuses, Trump admits failure in his plot to rig midterms In a Fox interview that aired on Wednesday, President Donald Trump effectively admitted that the ongoing Republican campaign to rig electoral maps in their favor to avert a wipeout in this year’s…

I bet Marco Rubio drinks himself blind at night.

This GOP war with the Pope might be the new dumbest thing they’ve done, and as usual, it’s completely self-inflicted.

Lol, no. Why? My point that RBG is consistently scapegoated for not being able to predict the Trump regime stands.

I didn’t realize Mike Johnson could be “aware” of anything. According to himself, he never has any idea of what Trump is doing.

Thank you for writing this. None of these people would ever dream of criticizing Thurgood Marshall for his ‘91 retirement…one year before an election where a Dem could potentially win and have appointed *two* new justices. RBG, an imperfect person, wasn’t a damn soothsayer.

So the big studios are abandoning the US and turning the staff workers into contractors to get out paying for healthcare.

The United States is losing one of its defining industries because of not having universal healthcare and the people are going to be even more vulnerable to the industry.

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.

Once again, there’s no such thing as a conservative activist. Activism is performed to progress and promote progressive social and political change. Conservatism is the actual opposite of that. Charlie Kirk was a reactionary regressive.

Imagine telling college students they will be suspended from a place WHERE THEY PAY TO BE if they disrupt some racist who is being paid with STUDENT TUITION MONEY.

What utter bullshit. Do yall understand how many teachers & professors have lost their jobs *because* they exercised their 1st Amendment and academic freedom rights to teach accurate history; to criticize racist & sexist policy; to call out abusers? Protecting “freedom of speech,” my ass.

Waiting for them to lock the exits like it's the goddamn triangle shirtwaist factory

Sorry, it's 10 percent not twenty.

you're putting your journalism behind a paywall, handing 20% of your revenue to Substack, and requiring people to hand some of their hardearned money (which they're paying to you as a subscription fee) to nazis and sex traffickers in order to read what you have to say.

that is profoundly fucked up.

i'm going to be beating my "get off substack" drum again.

because seriously: get off substack.

stop helping literal sex traffickers make money.

I, too, study race for a living, and I also did not realize racist, treason-loving organizations were still getting tax breaks in 2026. My god.

I study racism for a living and can still manage to be shocked by how institutionalized it is. What do you mean they were giving tax-breaks to white supremacists celebrating treason?

just a wild country

From Supply Side Jesus to AI Jesus. Oh, my living and breathing WORD, help us, help us!

GOP Christians, wyd? Surely this is not what your WWJD bracelets taught you!

Me, a college professor and graduate program chair: soon, we're not going to have a choice when AI is integrated into the background of every tech.

Me, a progressive Sunday school teacher and Bible study leader extremely skeptical about a literal cartoonish hell:

It’s going to become increasingly harder and harder for people to separate mass deportation from policing and Mullin and the administration are quite sure there’s no appetite for addressing policing.

1.) Pope Leo XIV, the Pontiff of a 2000-year-old institution, does not fear a belligerent boob from a 250-year-old flailing state.

2.) Bobby Prevost of the CHI *really* doesn’t fear some doughy rich titty baby from New York. 🤣🤣🤣

Republicans in Congress could learn a thing or two from the Pope
