I was delighted to sit down with Deutschlandfunk Kultur and discuss the German language launch of Brotherless Night. www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/stimme-aus-s...

So pleased to see "What We Hunger For," an anthology of diasporic writers on food and longing which I contributed to, featured in Lavender Magazine. lavendermagazine.com/our-lives/a-...

also still thinking of இலங்கை post-Ditwah. 💔 (what am I working on these days? a series of 💔 posts, apparently, since at present my hands, pretty wrecked this whole fall, will permit.)

Also thinking of the community at Brown, an institution that has undeniably shaped my life despite the fact that I have never taught or studied there, as *so many* of my friends and family and beloved work colleagues have spent time in Providence. 💔

NEW: We filed a motion to stop the Justice Department from accessing Maryland’s entire voter file as part of their effort to create a national voter database. We've now taken legal action in eight states to protect voters' sensitive information from being weaponized by the Trump administration.

Trump's agents have been snatching people off the streets without due process — and over 170 US citizens have been caught in the mix. Outrageous and unacceptable. The lawlessness must end.

There's growing momentum among universities who refuse to bend the knee to Trump's authoritarianism. Glad to see these institutions stand for what's right — we need EVERY college and university to do the same. Bullies and dictators thrive on appeasement.
