I’ll be joining Nicole Walker on this as soon as the semester ends. Join us? Also will be starting a letter campaign to encourage judges and reps working hard for justice. Interested?
Postcard Project: Send a postcard to a new homeowner in a red county. Write a fact or a pithy statement. Something like, "Do you want your social security to go to Billionaires?" Send one. Send a hundred. Join me for a Zoom (DM me) where we can write postcards together. We have to break through.

Mickey 17 Is Sad, Strange—And So Much Fun
Bong Joon Ho’s first film after Parasite is another satire, this time with a delirious sci-fi veneer.
