i mean, fine, but you got counties named after Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee down there.

The state of Texas will not observe the Cesar Chavez Day holiday. I am directing all Texas state agency heads to comply. In the upcoming legislative session, I will work with Texas lawmakers to remove Cesar Chavez Day from state law altogether. Reports of the horrific and widely acknowledged sexual assault allegations against Cesar Chavez rightfully dismantle the myth of this progressive hero and undermine the narrative that elevated Chavez as a figure worthy of official state celebration.

People do not understand how bad the attack on Temple Israel in Michigan was. We were mere inches away from total devastation. This was a plot to kill as many Jewish babies as possible. jns.org/news/u-s-news/…

We've gotta stop lying to ourselves about how women whose entire lives exist in support of men are secretly the powerful ones. No, your stay-at-home wife is not really the "boss" and the women who built UFW were not really in charge: throughline.news/p/cesar-chavez…

This is totally insane. A war correspondent just received death threats from online gamblers who wanted him to change his reporting on an Iranian missile strike so they could collect a payout. One bettor had $900,000 riding on the outcome. He told the journalist he knew where he lived and who his family members were.  This is what prediction markets on life and death actually look like in practice. This is exactly why I introduced the DEATH BETS Act with Senator @AdamSchiff. The DEATH BETS Act would ban contracts on assassinations, deaths of world leaders, and acts of war on platforms like Polymarket. This story shows exactly why that matters.  When you let people place million-dollar bets on whether a missile kills someone, you create a financial incentive to threaten journalists, manipulate information, and profit from human suffering. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

MUST READ: A bombshell NYT investigation shows that Cesar Chavez sexually abused young girls. Dolores Huerta also discloses for first time that that Chavez raped her. So much more from Manny Fernandez and Sarah Hurtes —> nytimes.com/2026/03/18/us/…

Marriage and motherhood are great if your spouse is also great, and if not, marriage and motherhood are bad. There I summarized the discourse, everybody can go home.
AshleY@Aku_700

Cultural shift Hollywood Star Jessie Buckley praises marriage and motherhood during her Oscar-winning speech “I would like to dedicate this to the beautiful chaos of a mother’s heart.” -Marriage isn’t a trap. -Babies aren’t burdens. -Motherhood is a gift.

Do you want to write and move in extraordinary places? Does it sound pretty great to have someone plan your travel for you, and you just show up and are totally taken care of? Come with me on a writing retreat. Coming up in June: Writing + yoga in GREECE! onthegroundretreats.com/retreat/greece

I’m more interested in the stories we tell about our lives: the pressure to package our lows into a narrative of past pain transcended by personal and emotional leveling-up; the difficulty and freedom in realizing we’re often in the good parts and the hard parts all at once. I’m interested in the truth that there is no single truth — that the story of all of our lives is less in what actually happened than in the writing and re-writing. throughline.news/p/the-emptines…

But also: The villain / victim narrative seems far too simple here. We don’t have to believe that West’s claims of personal happiness are objectively and permanently true to see that they are the story of her life right now — and what more do we really know?

This fall, I'm bringing a small group to Vietnam, my current home. We'll start in Hanoi then go up north to Sapa for a week of writing, (optional) yoga, trekking, and eating as much as humanly possible. Join me: onthegroundretreats.com/retreat/vietnam

My position on polyamory is this: I personally don't approve of it, but that doesn't mean I don't want to hear about it all the time.
