The audio version of THE PUTNAMS OF SALEM is finally out, and I’m so grateful to have worked on it with my daughter Addy. I'm so proud of how she voiced Ann Putnam (and so many others!) She is the absolute best! Check it out: www.audible.com/pd/The-Putna...

What a time to be alive! How is this real??
Trump tonight appears to have pushed the false "medbed" conspiracy theory, which has spread in the far-right internet over the years. www.yahoo.com/news/qanon-c...

While Trump will surely continue to provide countless shameful moments over the next few years, amplifying the racist right-wing fever dream about a “genocide” taking place against the Afrikaners to the South African president in the Oval Office is pretty vile.

Same.
The on again/off again/on again/off again tariffs are irrefutable truth that Trump has absolutely no idea what he’s doing. What a clown show!

I know people say this a lot now, but imagine going back 20 years and explaining to Americans that in 2025, the US president would be demanding that Canada become the 51st state. Pure insanity.

Ann Pudeator was a twice-widowed, single woman of means who often cared for the sick. Yet it was these seemingly ordinary traits that likely led to her conviction as a witch in 1692.
Next week, we'll tell Ann's story.

It’s entertaining to watch MAGA twist themselves into knots trying to justify Trump’s madness. Sure, taking over Gaza is very ‘America First!’

For Trump to immediately blame DEI hiring and previous administrations, before we even know the first thing about what happened last night, is cowardly and sick. I don't care what your politics are, nobody should be proud of a president who does something like that.

I’ve produced more than 30 episodes of The Salem Witch Trials Podcast and Mary Easty was one of the most courageous women involved. She wrote petitions that exposed the witch hunt for the massive miscarriage of justice that it was.
Next week, we'll tell her story. I hope you’ll check it out.
