Adapting Ned Blackhawk's National Book Award winner for young readers has been both an honor and a pleasure. I learned a lot while writing the adaptation, and I am looking forward to sharing this book with the world in Fall 2026.

Cover of The Rediscovery of America for Young People, by Ned Blackhawk, adapted by Rebecca Stefoff, with a multicolored illustration of Indigenous Americans against a parchment-colored background.

Correction, 31 years. Feels like 32, I guess.

I just found out that the guy I've lived with for 32 years has never seen Big Trouble in Little China. My pillars of heaven are shook.

Not just nice, but increasingly necessary.

Wharton, pfft. What can Henry James do for you?

I wear my first watch in decades to tell me how badly I slept.

Senator Merkley on the Senate floor should be getting much more attention. He and other Senators are breaking down all the different fronts of Trump's authoritarianism. Everyone should be watching this.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Okay, my obscure background as an erstwhile DC land use lawyer is finally relevant. There are several agencies that oversee any projects at the White House, including the Commission of Fine Arts, the Commission for the Preservation of the White House, the National Park Service, and the National 1/

That's a great spot, and thank you for this compilation.

I have an account there but haven't used it. For now, this place seems best, but I miss the good days of Old Twitter.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

A momunmental achievement and wonderfully presented by the Story Lab.

Also gotta note the timing of its release - the same week as Tony Abbott's "history" of Australia book/doco.

The epic story of Australia and its first peoples — like you've never seen it

The story of Australia and its peoples is vast and deep. It's one you should know, but possibly one you've never been told. Well, not like this anyway.
