”No matter how dark it gets,” Jon Batiste told the crowd last night. “I know: We can win. We can win. We can win.””

Yes, we can. Let’s not lose sight of the good & motivated people in our country who remain committed to creativity, diversity, inclusion—& joy.

Sometimes a book is enough technology.

You can have your mathematical wizardry, cyber Swarfega, plastics & glass.

But sometimes, a physical book is just enough.

Please do support Independent publishers because once they're gone, they're gone.

It seems like when you write a decision giving the President king-like powers, you shouldn't be indignant when he acts like a king.

Something we haven’t focused on enough is that the Trump administration isn’t just deporting people without process, it’s deporting them & incarcerating them in inhumane conditions in a third country. And we are paying for that cruel & unusual punishment that our government is imposing.

Netanyahu has blocked aid to Gaza for two weeks. Last night, he ordered strikes that killed over 400 Palestinians, endangered hostages, and broke a fragile ceasefire.

Congress must uphold our laws and stop further weapons transfers to Israel.

One of the great unintended consequences stories of all time is American liberals buying cars that they thought would save the planet, thereby enriching the man who bought the presidency for Trump, the most environmentally dangerous president in history.
Tesla sales in Europe are down 45 percent from this time last year — a steep decline for an automaker long seen as the leader of the electric vehicle revolution. Experts say the decline could be caused by a variety of factors, including increased electric competition and backlash to CEO Elon Musk.
