Once I recognized that I was physically tired, mentally exhausted, and on the verge of burnout, I realized I needed to make some changes. Here's what I'm doing to recharge for the long road ahead.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

A new concern for authors: Copies of Black AF History by @michaelharriot.bsky.social and several other books are being pirated on eBay. They're selling downloadable PDF copies of books they didn't write or publish: ebay.us/m/6DFhsU

Authors, check for yours.

My inspiration for making India Wells—the FMC of MADE FOR ME—a brilliant classical violinist passionate about introducing the instrument to other young, Black musicians was seeing these incredible artists in action: reeseryan.substack.com/p/introducin...

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

Y’all are cutting HBCU funding, dismantling civil rights offices, slashing Medicaid and SNAP, over-policing Black communities—yet want us to believe you’re helping poor Black people?

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Me dancing on my gimpy knee because I FINALLY finished this Neverending book and typed THE END. Today, I'm going to celebrate, watch the US Open, and eat ALL the things. Next week, the revision process begins.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.
