This Veterans Day I want to acknowledge the Black veterans of WWII who fought fascism and nazism and came home to fight for civil rights and democracy here. New research shows Black veterans were critical in securing the voting rights currently under attack.

"Ian" is harvesting olives in Tulare County. He works from 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., earning $6.50 per bucket. "The buckets are big and can weigh up to 35 lbs. My hands get sore after a day’s work from carrying the heavy buckets all day long. But this work feeds my family." #WeFeedYoul

Finally cooked some of the Corn Mafia ash nixtamalized hominy that's been around too long. It smelled nice but there were weevils floating in the water when it was done.

Oklahoma friends- one of my favorite spots in Norman, The Moon Sushi, has always been good people, but right now they're going above and beyond by giving away meals/meal kits for SNAP recipients *and* setting up a pet food pantry for those struggling to feed their furry friends.

I am so upset.

Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/
To be asked to write about racism only to be racially aggressed in the editing process is a new level unlocked I have to say.

Excellent clip on the history of hostile architecture in NYC-it’s current form seen in the leaning benches in subways &lack of any seating (except Amtrak Lounge) in Moynihan station impacting ppl who are unhoused, older, and/or disabled. Of course, Robert Moses & his legacy are responsible for this.

Lately I've been telling people who pay me for talks to donate my fee to the St Louis Food Bank. These are hard times. In 2025, St Louis had a horrific tornado, a loss of federal aid, and now new SNAP cuts.

Help St Louis folks eat and donate here:
