Vampires aren’t your biggest concern in 1932 Mississippi. There’s way worse that walks in daylight. Beware, but don’t deny yourself the real music and dancing that can tap into something timeless. (I didn’t deny myself purchasing the SINNERS soundtrack as soon as I left the theatre!)

READ WHERE THE AXE IS BURIED
I’ve craved speculative storytelling about the future of Russian fascism because that is what I want to defeat in a fictional dimension while I am powerless in reality. This dystopian tale speaks to the now and fills that void.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

About to do some phone banking for Susan Crawford's Wisconsin State Supreme Court campaign. The guy she's running against is a major Trump/Musk partisan. Fingers crossed that I talk to some decent people in my adopted state who want decent judges representing them. 🤞

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?
VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

Dear President Zelensky,
As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here.
I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders.
