"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

Please make these calls to your two US Senators and your House rep. (Script below). The national security breach we learned about this week was SHOCKING & unacceptable. It should be disqualifying for both Hegseth & Waltz. But they’re hoping it will blow over.

Don’t let it blow over. 🙏😡

Young people. Run for your school boards. Run for your city councils. Run for your select boards. Start building your base. It's too late to save the country in my lifetime. But start building the power structure to save it in yours .

Claim your place in the sun and go forward into the light. The tools are there; the path is known; you simply have to turn your back on a culture that has gone sterile and dead, and get with the program of a living world and a re-empowerment of the imagination.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors.

I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.
