Folks, Giving Tuesday is around the corner and this is my yearly PSA that while you may be annoyed with nonprofits raising money that day, please be kind especially this year. It's been BRUTAL trying to raise money in 2025.

Hey @uft.org, I am about to be shoved into a new insurance plan that y'all pushed for. The only # to call about this PPO is Emblem, but they don't manage behavioral health coverage!
Where are the plan details? Like, which CPT codes are covered for which ICDs? Seriously. We're way past vague FAQs.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

i'm aware i'm not perfectly safe 24/7 but just masking on public transport and in medical facilities have reduced my sick days dramatically. for decades i took having severe colds 3-4 times a year, taking weeks to recover, coughing for months for granted, for no reason. it feels great to not be sick

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

“The criminal complaint makes no mention of any firearm in the possession of either motorist, in contrast to an earlier statement from the Department of Homeland Security.”
