A fun thing about travelling in Europe that I didn’t anticipate: Little Free Libraries guiding my next read. On a medieval street in Amersfoort 🇳🇱 tonight, I nabbed a copy of The Snow Queen by Michael Cunningham & An American Marriage by Tayari Jones. Will drop off Katabasis before I leave. #BookSky

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Every single centrist claiming we must all compromise our bodily autonomy for their personal comfort is a traitor to American democracy & rational human decency.
They have no place in a modern Democratic Party, toss them out. Total liberation for all.

“The symbolism of the moment is hard to beat. At a time when Trump is not just demonising immigrants, but harassing them and sending masked goons to kidnap them from the street, America’s greatest city – and Trump’s hometown – has elected a Muslim immigrant to run it.”
Mamdani shows a different way is possible
The New York mayor’s resounding victory is a warning to Trump and his own party’s old guard

I don’t believe in an afterlife, at least not one that will mete out meaningful justice. So now that Cheney is dead having never faced accountability in this world, my mind grasps for something honest to hold onto, and Baldwin is the only thing that feels truthful & real, but it’s also not enough.

I am so upset.
Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

To be asked to write about racism only to be racially aggressed in the editing process is a new level unlocked I have to say.

This government should be so ashamed of themselves for letting this happen. They have ignored the seriousness of the situation, tip-toed around fascist threats and intimidation, and even fed into the narrative that immigration is the problem.
How they sleep at night, I will never know.

Strongest condemnation from a local politician so far coming from Labour's Ged Nash - underlining how close we may have been to having several lives lost in Drogheda overnight as a result of this attack.
