For the NYT I wrote about Ed Sheeran, the fantasy of political neutrality and the politics of self-interest www.nytimes.com/2026/09/21/o...

Celebrities use the facade of neutrality as shelter, as a place to take refuge.

❌ MYTH: Crime victims support long prison sentences. ✅ REALITY: Most victims of violence want violence prevention. Harm is real, but mass support for mass incarceration is not.
Graph results showing results from a 2022 national survey of 1,500 who reported crime victimization within the past 10 years. Most favor alternatives to incarceration: 75% prefer restorative justice, 80% prefer more mental-health treatment, 72% support incentives for pre-release rehabilitation, and 71% support reducing jail populations.

It’s my book… CRIME FICTIONS. Wrongful convictions are more than a set of accidents or misfires. It’s a tactic created and weaponized by police.

“Crime Fictions….leaves you staring into the middle distance, wondering how many “airtight” historical cases were actually manufactured. From engineered confessions to fabricated “wolf pack” cases, the state reverse-engineers the facts to fit a pre-written plot.”🙏🙏🙏
