After many years of reporting and writing, the day is finally here: THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US is out today.
I poured everything into this book, and I hope it ignites outrage at the fact that so many people in the richest nation on earth have been deprived of one of the most basic human necessities.

Well deserved. An important, and gripping, book about our times.

Also absolutely thrilled to see @benchansfield.bsky.social's stunning BORN IN FLAMES on this list. I had the privilege of reviewing it back in August. If you haven't picked it up yet, you should.

As legislative attacks on unhoused people ramp up, disabled people are on the front lines. Sources told me they are terrified of being rounded up and forced into a detention camp, as Trump promises to make those part of his administration's legacy.
