Not only can we do both, we have to do both in order for either effort to be successful. Even if the Democratic Party insists this is not the case, it remains nonetheless true that fighting grotesque levels of inequality in America and fighting fascism are necessarily interdependent projects.
We can deliver affordability and fight authoritarianism at the same time. I am eager to partner with state and federal leaders to do exactly that.

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

A very scary bill just passed in Ohio for transgender folks. No one but local LGBTQ+ orgs are talking about it.
First, Ohio is only recognizing sex assigned at birth, male or female. You can get in trouble for stating otherwise on documents, I imagine. I may need to change my state ID back. 1/5

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

Honored my novel Dreams of My Dead Husband made runner-up in this contest (and weirdly flattered to play second fiddle to Adam O’Fallon Price—a hell of a writer). I’ve put everything I am into this book—hoping this takes it one step closer to finding a good home.
We’d also like to congratulate the runner-up, finalists, and semi-finalists for their incredible manuscripts and thank everyone who submitted and trusted us with their manuscripts.
