My advice for journalists covering education via @thenation.com: pay attention to re-ascendancy of race science on the right and Trump's education moves make much more sense www.thenation.com/article/soci...

In a new profile for @rollingstone.com, I revisit the story of Lotti Golden’s long-lost (but cult-classic) debut “Motor-Cycle,” a wonderfully strange document of Sixties New York that got a richly deserved reissue recently after 56 years out of print

When @vandoliers.bsky.social set out to record what became Life Behind Bars, it led Jenni Rose to the final steps of a journey through gender dysphoria — and addiction/recovery — and a decision to come out as trans. We talked about it at @rollingstone.com

Trump’s mission is simple: to exert authoritarian control over all branches of the federal government. To do that, he has to break the back of the federal employee labor movement.

If Trump Crushes Federal Workers, We’re All Next

Bosses everywhere are itching to wage a DOGE-style war against their workers. That’s why it’s so important that Trump and Musk fail.

For those unfamiliar, the Associated Press is a non-profit cooperative formed by US news organizations that covers news for its 1,300 member papers, radio stations and TV stations. It is the foundation of the American press. It has always gotten the first seat and first question at official events.

Because AP continues to refuse to use 'Gulf of America,' it is being barred indefinitely from the Oval Office and Air Force One, but its journalists will be able to retain their credentials to the White House complex, according to Taylor Budowich, White House deputy chief of staff.

Writing-wise, most ridiculous moment of decade was as writer-guest for a workshop held at someone's house. During the workshop, I got a massive headache & asked for aspirin. Someone gave me aspirin after which I began to itch. "Sorry--gave u my anti-itching pills by mistake." 1/?

"Lynch wasn’t just writing about women; his collaborations with women represented some of his most compelling musical works," @anniezaleski.bsky.social writes. www.salon.com/2025/01/29/d...

David Lynch's musical collaborations built worlds out of what was heard as much as what was seen

Collaborating with a stable of artists, Lynch made sound an essential character in his projects.
