Do you want all the reasons Aaron Rodgers is an awful human being, or do you just want to pick six?

I don't know what it was like in your neighborhood when Biden won the election, but in mine there was a spontaneous parade. Parents clanging pots, children cheering, hugs between neighbors, loud music, horns honking. Joyous pandemonium. The next parade is going to blow that one out of the water.

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

This is not about protecting Jews, and as Jews it is our responsibility to call out this performative fascism for what it is.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Why does it feel like we sprung forward into some dystopian future? I think we may have overdone it.

Yesterday, I hopped in my car to run some errands -- visit the dentist, send a fax, pick up a phone case for my son's new phone -- and I was driving around my community, something hit me: life in America has completely changed, but there's precious little evidence yet.

Notes after seeing CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD I cannot believe they made a movie about two men of color working together to take down a President with a ruddy complexion and a rage problem who was secretly being controlled by an evil tech guy with a mind-numbing communications platform...

Can I just take a moment of joy to share this picture of my wife and I on our wedding day 16.5 years ago? We're going to the theater tonight for Valentine's Day, and I'm taking our joy and excitement about seeing a friend's play as a profound act of defiance. WE WILL NOT BE DISMAYED.

A writer I admire, Eric Weiner, is leading a retreat in Bhutan April 28 to May 8. It's a great opportunity to explore a unique nation while advancing your writing practice and your well-being. I wish I could go myself.

There never has BEEN a meritocracy in the United States. There has only been preferential treatment for white men. They are trying to make that cool again, but they can't. It never was, and it never will be.

We aren't getting this country back by, say, winning back the house in two years. There's no returning to how things were. We're living through a sea change. The America that emerges from this disaster -- IF one emerges at all -- will be very different.

Trump and Musk are basically toddlers wrecking the board game they are playing because they don't like the rules and want to just win.
