If you never read the book or saw the movie, you missed one of the greatest Pulitzer Prize winning sagas ever written. To dishonor Alex Haley like this is disgraceful.

This is flying under the radar, but Trump's cronies have started their own organization to plan 250th anniversary events. Not only is their "Freedom 250" receiving taxpayer funds, it's also soliciting big donations from corporations in exchange for face time with Trump. Everything is for sale.

Rather than conclude that democrats are bad because people like Fetterman and Polis are democrats, I prefer to conclude that people like Fetterman and Polis are not democrats and they need to get the hell out of our party.

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

I guess Kevin Sorbo, that dumb angry peanut, forgot about the time Helen of Troy was also played by a woman of color. Back in the 90s on XENA (by the late Galyn Görg). Oh and they hinted she & Xena had a "history" before the War #Xena #Television #TheOdyssey #90s #Nostalgia #GreekMythology

Curious: how many non violent offenders are in Colorado prisons for non violent offenses? Do they get pardons too?

Censorship and book banning is “neither a blue issue or a red issue – it is an everybody issue. This affects everyone,” says Keri Lambert, Vice President of Tennessee’s Rutherford County Library Alliance. #VelshiBannedBookClub

where is john roberts to tell us that this is just one of those apolitical, unpopular decisions the court has to make sometimes?

what's the best (as in worst) thing you've ever sent to the wrong text recipient? Mine, while juggling several conversations on Skype, was "at least you didn't wake up in a puddle of deer piss"

Thanks, John! Been a long damn time… Figured I better actually finish a manuscript before the apocalypse. Got it in under the wire.

Pardon the hooplah, but it's been a long time: My new novel Kosha is officially coming your way. I love it and hope you will too. The amazing @naomialderman.bsky.social calls it "Nosferatu meets Generation Kill"; man, I love that. Huge thanks to blackstonepublishing.com & @brendandeneen.bsky.social.

this is SUCH a fun book

Catch me at the zohran scavenger hunt

And in the process, showing us that he loves New York City. Would we want a mayor who does not?

NYSNA has now announced it is endorsing Zohran Mamdani for mayor, right on the heels of 32BJ and HTC. That's three major unions now lining up behind that had not backed Mamdani in the primary (NYSNA did not endorse, and 32BJ/HTC backed Cuomo)

My breakfast choice in Winston-Salem yesterday…or the new scene in Washington DC today?

I can't tell you how excited I am to work with Heather Boyer and the Island Press team, which really gets what I'm trying to do with this projects and has published more than a few of my favorite books on urbanism.

So proud to be representing both of you now! Dworkin for the rest of the world, along w primary agent Jeff Gerecke, who's on his way over here.

Migrating here as an antidote to X, the distortion of Twitter, which I haven't given up altogether yet....
