Amazing No Kings protest today in Providence -- so great to be with like minded folks here and millions more across the nation to march against racism and bigotry. We can do better than MAGA and the embarrassment that is Trumpism.

Really pleased that, after much discussion, the press decided to use the beautiful commissioned painting by the talented Narragansett artist Silvermoon LaRose. Look for the book in April 2026 (but pre-orders available now: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/stealing-a...).

One of two #nokings protests today in Providence, RI. We marched around the state house. Beautiful, unifying, and peaceful.

A huge shoutout to all of the presenters and attendees (in person and online) who made the Stolen Relations Launch Symposium on Saturday, May 10, such a meaningful day of sharing and connecting. Check out the new site at www.stolenrelations.org @stolenrelations.bsky.social

Two excellent and unrelated developments today, summarized in two pictures. 1) a revised book manuscript back to the production team at Norton; 2) a lucky entrance by lottery to the Canyon de Chelly ultra marathon this October! 55k - nbd.

Happy to finally see this hit the shelves! With thanks to my co-editors and our Narragansett readers -- I think we've managed to present a more complicated and complicit Roger Williams through his letters and publications. #indigenous #earlyamerica #rhodeisland
