Silicon Valley has a big Jeffrey Epstein problem … The reason Epstein didn’t raise any red flags with Musk, Hoffman, Thiel, Brin and others is because misogyny is integral to the history of computers and the Internet. @thenewpress.bsky.social

Bezos in Paris! The extreme wealth and power of Silicon Valley leaders has flattened the usual tale of wealth-induced decadence. Bezos has gone from empire builder to fashionista in a single lifetime! Watch on IG www.instagram.com/reel/DUGVeVw... Read in The Know-It-Alls @thenewpress.bsky.social

Reviewed the new book Fair Game for @slate.com — it’s for if anyone you know *actually* has good-faith questions about trans athletes

Probably my favorite part of researching KING OF THE NORTH was discovering all the work Dr. King did with gang members in Chicago--how much he saw their potential for leadership & how much they respected him (even if they didn't always agree). A King for our times: hammerandhope.org/article/mart...

Friends, please join me & the great @prisonculture.bsky.social for a discussion on Feb 3 at the 42nd street NYPL where we dismantle many of the myths about Dr. King's work--and dive deep into his work outside the South and his political partner Coretta Scott King. www.nypl.org/events/progr...

The biggest tech story for 2026 doesn’t appear to be one: the proposed billionaires’ tax in California, which goes after wealth not income. If we are to dig out of the deep hole of inequality led by Big Tech, we need to support bold ideas like a wealth tax. @thenewpress.bsky.social @seiuca.org

We're all smiles 😊 “The Problem with Plastic” just made Independent Publishers Caucus' new weekly list of the top forty non-fiction bestsellers! 📕 🏅 Get your copy now at your local independent bookstore or online at @bookshop.org bit.ly/problemwithp...

Also a reminder on MLK’s birthday—with NYC nurses on strike—King called 1199, health &hospital workers, his “favorite” union and supported strikes in 1959 & 1962 on behalf of the lowest-paid Black and Puerto Rican women hospital workers bc their wages were so low “you couldn’t even call them wages.”

Today would be Dr King’s 97th birthday. A reminder; the holiday should be a day of direct action, not charity. Dr King called out the structures of inequality. When a white woman asked why Black people didn’t just clean up their own neighborhood, he made clear, ”That was the job of sanitation.”

It was such fun to be on @democracynow.org to talk about the myths of the Montgomery bus boycott & emphasize that the courage of Rosa Parks was her ability to take step after step without indication that any of them would matter. We have to stop looking for the 'right' action and just take action.
