What Pablo Torre did was ridiculously impressive. Uncovered a conspiracy between rich guys, withstood a propaganda campaign by one of the richest guys in the world with a pretty good reputation, didn't buckle or panic, and just kept reporting. That's some Pulitzerin' right there.

I was reading in public — always risky — and writing notes in the margin, as I do. Some guy intervened to tell me that he could never write in a book. Seemed like a personal problem that has nothing to do with me? Anyway, once again daydreaming of walking into the ocean.

we’ve reached a point where reading books, verifying information, and expanding your knowledge is sometimes labeled “elitist.” I don’t think curiosity should ever be something we’re ashamed of.

I'm heartbroken to share that Marvin (known to readers of There Is No Place for Us as Maurice) died earlier today in a workplace accident. He was 43. Natasha (Natalia in the book) asked me to share this news because she is too devastated to do so herself. We are all in shock.

I’m just not here for any demobilizing or disorganizing talk right now. If you have alternate paths and plans, issue those invitations. We need them. But demobilizing and disorganizing won’t make us stronger or better. And like it or not, in this incredibly fascist moment, this imagery does matter

Walk into a sandwich shop. It’s regulated for health and safety. But AI, which will transform the world economically and socially, is completely unregulated. That’s insane. We need to make certain that AI works for ALL humanity, not just the billionaires who own it.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
"FOP Stands with ICE"
Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police Condemns Rhetoric
(Minneapolis, MN) The Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police stands with the men and women of Law Enforcement across the country. Over the past month, while Federal law enforcement has been doing their job in Minnesota, political and community leaders have condemned and vilified them.
The hateful and anti-law enforcement rhetoric by Mayor Frey and other politicians have made their jobs and those of local and state law enforcement more difficult and dangerous. The job of law enforcement is difficult and dangerous enough without the agitation by leaders in our state and communities.
When citizens are accused of a crime, they are given the presumption of innocence as afforded by due process. When there is an incident involving law enforcement, politicians and activists immediately condemn those involved and are scrambling for sound bites. They do not afford them the same due process but rather convict them in a public court of opinion while an investigation is barely beginning.
The Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police condemns these attacks on law enforcement and calls on politicians and leaders to stop the anti-law enforcement rhetoric and to ask for calm while the

Years ago, an organizing crew I was part of worked to help an unhoused woman in our neighborhood get services. She was dying and qualified for a number of programs. It took a team of seven working for almost two months to secure her a warm bed to die in. Her name was Jennifer.
