So upset about @teenvogue.com being absorbed into Vogue.

Teen Vogue’s political reporting has often been sharper than other mainstream outlets.

Now there will be no political staffers left.

The Norton Library edition of my translation of the Iliad, with stylish red cover, is now available. It has complete text, maps, notes, introduction and translator's note, and it's yours for under $10 (as are many other tempting Norton Library volumes). wwnorton.com/books/978132...

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

The people were ALWAYS going to have to lead the way.

The movement is not the party.

The PEOPLE are the movement.

Is anyone really surprised?

The answer is in organizing. Not in hoping that feckless politicians will grow backbones.

I wish we could fast forward through this misogynist tradwife era and just get to the part where someone writes the feminine mystique again.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Recall the wise words of Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor, Nobel laureate and great humanist author:

“We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere.”

Refusing to Be Complicit
In his first week, the newly inaugurated president has proven once again that he rejects our laws, values and principles. It's a mistake for Democrats to try and work with him.
