Trump does not represent the “will of the people” – a stable majority of Americans, including about two thirds of those who call themselves independents, reject core tenets of Trumpism. It is the Republican Party that is moving away from the center of American society.

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.

CNN: Hakeem Jeffries was asked this morning if you're the future of the democratic party. He said no.
ZOHRAN MAMDANI: Good to know.
CNN: Do you have a response?

It really is amazing that when a popular young Democratic politician who wants to solve real problems for people beats an old-guard institutionalist Democrat in a primary, the institutionalist Democrat just stays in the race and basically runs as a Republican.

Good news!
Enormous news for US literature. A new, Mellon-led, $50 million fund for nonprofit literary orgs and publishers. Closest thing we've ever had to it was Mellon and Wallace in 1991, which, in today's dollars, was still less than half this. Open call begins Nov 10. literaryartsfund.org/about/

Reading the 'spoiler' for one of the various secondary book boxes, the January theme KISS OR KILL contains 'a dark and seductive romantasy that follows the story of a sacrificial princess born into a ruthless cycle of death and rebirth.' Uhhh, that does not narrow it down my friend. 😜

Transphobia is evil and, if there is a God, will be punished in the hereafter.
Marie McGowan, 89, has died 3 years after a brutal assault during which she was put headfirst into a rubbish bin. Her attacker, Alex Bailey, believed she was "a man dressed as a woman."
This is the world the transphobes are creating "to protect women."

C'mon Boston. We threw tea in the harbor for no kings! (Yes I know it was about taxes. Don't at me.)
It’s interesting that Republicans keep talking about No Kings on Oct. 18 as though it’s just a DC protest.
The protests are nationwide. Find your local one here: www.nokings.org#map
