On this day in 1981, Taiwanese-American performance artist Tehching Hsieh began his third one-year performance piece. Also known as ‘Outdoor Piece’, Hsieh lived on the street in New York for an entire year. He was not allowed to go inside at all, including buildings, vehicles, tents or the subway.

sort of wonder how long this media blackout at the pentagon would go on if everybody just stopped giving Hegseth any airtime whatsoever and never showed his picture

Can I speak to the manager, please?

I’m a VERY busy person. This situation is out of control. I barely have enough time to hate all these people, much less with the force of an exploding galaxy as they deserve. It’s truly confounding.

In memory of Roberta Alexander, who died yesterday, revisiting "Andromache's Farewell" (1962) by Samuel Barber.

"Now the Gods have destroyed us,
Have destroyed us utterly,
And I can no longer
Conceal my child from death."

Andromach's farewell, Opus 39 (1962)

Pentagon beat reporters have been handing in their press passes all day long today. It is one of the most striking examples of news media solidarity we've seen this year.

One of my challenges as a writer is that I want to write about many different things. It's also, I hope, a strength. But people ask me what the connection point is and the real answer is - it's something I wanted to know more about.

““Even the worst people who have done the worst things” deserve due process, the speaker at the council meeting who talked about her Jewish roots, said. “And it's not just to protect them: It's to protect all of us.””

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

I don’t know much but I know this: the older you get, the faster the number of things you’re willing to wait in line for approaches zero

I drew this on the driveway today!

A photo of my chalk art creation on the driveway. It reads: No Kings! (in red & pink), then has a drawing of a gold crown, outlined and circled in black, with a red X through it. Below that, in turquoise is October 18.

The list of news outlets refusing to sign the Pentagon's new access policy continues to grow by the day. These are among some of the outlets that have rejected the order:

• Fox News
• Newsmax
• ABC News
• CBS News
• NBC News
• CNN
• Washington Times
• Reuters
• AP
• The Guardian
• Washington Post

ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News and CNN won't sign new Pentagon access policy

In a joint statement, executives at ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News and NBC News rejected the proposed policy, which makes it tougher to get information from military employees.
