People keep telling me they didn’t know I have a book coming out this fall, so if that’s you: surprise! It’s a dark YA reimagining of Hansel and Gretel called WITCHKILLER and it comes out on my birthday (October 7)!

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Let's go! The City of Cleveland - home to a public power utility - is one of the first in the nation i've heard of so far banning shutoffs during this federal shutdown crisis.
Public power can lead the nation in showing what democratic institutions can do to make our lives better.

We're announcing a 30-day moratorium on utility disconnections.
The federal shutdown and cuts to SNAP benefits have placed an unfair and unexpected burden on households. No one should have to choose between keeping the lights on and putting food on the table.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

A big part of the reason Mamdani is doing so well is because he acts like the kind of Mayor we saw in films and read about in books. It makes NYC feel like the best of itself.

To me, arguing online lacks benefit, so I don’t. And if I’m honest, I’ve been so sickened for so long at the rampant cowardice I have to constantly see displayed, that the version of me that WOULD argue with strangers online is kinda toxic. At least more toxic than I am comfortable being in public.

Listen. I believe ardently in criticizing our leaders for their failures and inaction but if you refuse to acknowledge their efforts when they do make them and if you refuse to recognize a step in the right direction, you don’t really want change. You just want to complain.
