Just saw this video on Reddit & burst into tears. THIS is the power of peaceful protest, even in the face of violent tyranny. We stand with you, LA ~ don’t let the facist bastards grind you down.

“How can I be under arrest?

A very sad RIP for Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, a brilliant writer who led an extraordinary life. His work is (just about) bookended by 'The River Between' and 'Wizard of the Crow,' two great works that are totally different and written in different languages! He deserved that endlessly withheld Nobel.

Along with many other nonprofit arts organizations, we learned last night that our grant from the National Endowment for the Arts—$40,000 toward the publication of our books in 2025—has been terminated. While this news was not unexpected, its message was chilling.
