My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

My goal in 2025 is to write more. Write again. Push myself to finish rewrites on "The Disruption." I need someone to regularly push me. Consider yourself part of my accountability team.

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn

Today seems like a good day for a first post here:
Be kinder than you think you need to be to people who are angry and sad today.
Be stronger than you thought possible to keep on fighting for good.
Turn off media.
Turn to friends.
Keep fighting.
