It's been a year since President Trump's reckless and cruel cuts to U.S humanitarian aid and the impact can be measured in human lives.

This is well worth a read, and I'll admit has prompted me to pause and reflect a bit on its implications. #AI
I'm thrilled to see three friends (and clients) nominated this year: Kevin Young ("Night Watch," Poetry), Amanda Vaill ("Pride and Pleasure: The Schuyler Sisters in an Age of Revolution," Biography), and Carl Kaplan ("Troublemaker: The Fierce Unruly Life of Jessica Mitford," Biography)!
We have a system set up to prevent this, and we have a party that has set itself up to prevent the system from working.
Wake up folks! It's happening all around! Keep your head on a swivel. Stay alert, stay alive.

I'm starting to think that, until he's finally gone, I should repost on a daily basis this 11,000+ word piece I published in @theatlantic.com about Donald Trump's serious psychiatric disorders to explain why, as a legal and constitutional matter, he was unfit for the presidency.
As we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today, his words from 1961 continue to ring true. His legacy continues to guide us as we demand equality and justice and push for systems that work for ALL, not just the privileged few.

π€ Why do we see so much harmful content online? Because social media algorithms push it to our feeds.
Algorithms have a huge impact on how people perceive digital spaces, but they are not designed with safety in mind.
Here's all you need to know about how algorithms work & why it mattersπ
A nonprofit last year released a damning investigation finding that gig platforms are using algorithmic systems not simply to manage workers but to systematically extract labor while evading legal obligations, yet the response from government has been timid, David Sathuluri writes
Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace.
Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US.

WHY are Americans still clueless about these draconian tech cabals that are literally taking over the world? The three of the wealthiest leading this are not even American-born citizens; they became billionaires many times over on our U.S. taxpayer money.
The Trump administration has repeatedly targeted small and politically disempowered populationsβHaitians, Somalis, trans peopleβin order to justify abuses of power. But its abuses of power are not limited to those communities. What the government can do to the most vulnerable among us, it can also do to you.
The shooting in Minnesota is a reminder that while authoritarian governments may justify abuses of power by directing them at scapegoats or vulnerable populations, the goal is ultimately to deploy them against anyone they wish to www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
my immediate thought is they are sending vance out to eat shit for the administration
ICE should not be menacing our streets and endangering our neighbors.
We stand with Minneapolis today and call on the Trump administration to stop attacking our communities.
