A Seattle Times op-ed summarizing a few of the arguments from my UW talk this week: "To understand right-wing media's power, study improv and theater of influencers." I end with some recommendations for countering the right's bullshit machine: www.seattletimes.com/opinion/to-u...

To understand right-wing media's power, study improv and theater of influencers | Opinion

Right-wing populism is leveraging online platforms' participatory nature. A counter-movement must amplify its constituents' values, with a commitment to truth.

Just got off the phone with Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.), who said Elon Musk's DOGE team is "actively dismantling" federal Department of Education programs today. "They are in the building, on the 6th floor, canceling grants and contracts."

Unquestionably, major policy changes, edicts and directives handed down by the new Trump administration will upend lives. But I've also been struck by the widespread efforts to erase/whitewash history. Stick with me for a pretty shocking series of events from just the past few weeks.

Today I joined a coalition of publishers including @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social, authors @dashkaslater.bsky.social and David Levithan, @authorsguild.bsky.social, and Idaho librarians, parents, and students, in a lawsuit against Idaho's book banning law, HB 710. I'm proud to be part of the fight.
