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.

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.

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.

ALT A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are leaning on each other, nuzzling their heads together with their eyes closed. Green: Remember when we first started talking, and you had no picture of yourself on your profile? Blue: Yeah? Green: You were so nice, I didn't care what you'd look like. You being beautiful was just a bonus. Blue opens his eyes to look at Green, as Green listens attentively. Blue: On our first few dates I wasn't sure if you were male or female. I just thought you're funny and cute. Green pulls away enough to look Blue in the eye with astonishment, and Blue meets his gaze unbothered. Green: You didn't know, and you never asked me? Blue: Didn't really matter to me. I would have liked you either way.

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.

I am the author of this OpEd, which was given a misleading title and from which key lines were cut—lines that made very clear that RFK Jr is dangerously ignorant, has absolutely no business near HHS, and is effectively a mass murderer in waiting.

Trump’s healthcare disruption could pay off — if he pushes real reform @latimes @RobertKennedyJr.He is our best chance of doing so latimes.com/opinion/story/20…
Community note
The author of this article says that the LA Times edited out his clear opposition to RFK Jr. without his consent and gave it a headline which directly contradicts the point he was trying to make. x.com/_Eric_Reinhart…

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.
