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/…

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.

I see social media gloating over this but it just seems heartwrenching to me. It’s completely logical for a disengaged and desperate person to see what the president promised and grasp it in desperation. Not all votes have the same reasoning, even if they have the same outcome.

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.

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.”

Buttigieg was asking Congress to allocate more money to the FAA so it could hire 2000 more air traffic controllers. thehill.com/regulation/trans…

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.
I know "the Resistance" was cringe but personally I think it was healthy that swathes of the public, civil society, and Democrats behaved as if there was still a country worth saving back in 2017. The alternative, it turns out, is much worse.

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

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.

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.

The story here is that both Harris and Rogan were pretty indifferent to making this happen, and so didn't try very hard.
