How about some Super Gay Poems, a new anthology edited by @accommodatingly? ❤️ hup.harvard.edu/books/97806742…

In her new book, Super Gay Poems: LGBTQIA+ Poetry After Stonewall, Loker professor of English @accommodatingly gives voice to a shimmering variety of queer and transgender verse. We asked her five questions about poetry, inspiration, and creating. #Harvard harvardmagazine.com/2025/04/harvar…

.@accommodatingly continues to praise Exceptional X-Men as one of the best books in the current line comicsxf.com/2025/04/17/exc…

RT @frontlinekit: French senator perfectly describes the Trump situation.

Over the next few years, you will probably see a lot of people who voted for Trump for the first time in 2024 regret their vote. People are free to do what they want, but performative dunks on them will probably lead you down a very dark road not too dissimilar to MAGA’s.

Yes. One of the best things that successful politicians and political movements do is to let ordinary citizens who regret their vote entirely off the hook for their past decisions.

RT @Principles_1st: .@mcuban: “I learned that the Democrats can’t sell worth sh*t.”

Heckuva cover @nypost addressed directly to Trump. “It’s right for President Trump to want to stop the bloodshed in Ukraine, but there are certain truths we all must remember - namely that Vladimir Putin is solely responsible for this war.”

At its peak, the Resistance was sometimes misguided, but still was a broad force for good with an incredibly effective guiding principle, and we're now seeing what happens without it — quiet semi-authoritarianism. "Orange man bad" is the most correct statement of its era.

One thing people seem to forget about The Boy Who Cried Wolf is that at the end of the story, there's a real wolf

The exact same story, covered two different ways. Don’t listen to the people who say there’s no better way to communicate urgency than what our political elites are doing

RT @jasonfurman: Hard to argue with the WSJ editorial page.

RT @DylanoA4: C. S. Lewis, you just live

RT @foxes_in_love:

I know people like comparing Trump to Putin, but this chaotic rule by decree while state capacity declines and the opposition increasingly views him as unfit is much more reminiscent of Yeltsin's first term.

A lot of ordinary people are suddenly facing hard moral choices and will be asked to demonstrate courage

Basically, there is strong support for deporting immigrants convicted of crimes. But deporting non-criminals, separating families, and raids at schools/churches/hospitals are super unpopular. abcnews.go.com/538/americans-…

It's far too early to make predictions, but Democratic high-propensity voter advantage + longstanding midterm backlash trend might give you some priors for 2026.
