My first OpEd as WHBE Board chair. "To be clear, access to health insurance is not a partisan issue – it helps people on all sides of the political spectrum. As bipartisan members of the Washington Health Benefit Exchange Board, we are Republicans and Democrats."

I think what’s most frustrating right now for Black and Indigneous people is waiting for the bulk of white folks to catch up.

At some point the “this isn’t who we are” and “I didn’t have this on my bingo card” has to end and y’all will catch up, right? RIGHT?

WE NEED YOU TO CATCH UP.

As someone who has endured active and credible death threats I’m not interested in your opinion about how I choose to protect my safety.

This new column by @tressiemcphd.bsky.social makes me think about when I recently had to talk to the police for yet another safety plan, I tried to “lighten” the mood by saying that we all knew this wasn’t my first rodeo. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/o...
For at least the past 15 years, my colleagues in academia have grappled with angry letters to university officials for doing their jobs. They have weathered campaigns for their firing. They have contended with an internet army obsessed with doxxing them, their parents, their kids. I’ve been contacted by the F.B.I. more than once in my career. Not because I hold any important state secrets or know a biker gang but because one of my colleagues has lived with so much sustained harassment from right-wing “activists” that it has become a matter of federal concern. Watch lists (one of which was constructed by Kirk’s organization) do not distinguish between public intellectuals at wealthy enclaves and hoi polloi who teach popular classes at cash-strapped schools. In either case, an army of trained provocateurs stands ready to destroy their lives to prove their bona fides as conservative activists.

Where I'm un-usual
Don't even try to drag, a lake, for my soul
And even if you try, to track me down
I'll be un-trackable
I'll be where I won't feel alien no no"

Desert Island Album Lyrics:
1 of 2:
Five wasted decades of you and me
I've found my haven across the sea
Don't call me faithless, I've never been faithless
Don't call me faithless I changed my life
I won't be faithless
When I'm waiting for the ship to arrive
And take me to a place
Far out in space
