I wonder if you have any idea how often your name (and your work) is mentioned in classes and gatherings at Lighthouse Writers Workshop in Denver. What you share and teach echoes.

Well put. I wish the same and worse.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Beautiful. It can be so hard to overcome the intertia of depression. I'm glad you were so richly rewarded.

He writes beautifully and I learned a lot from this short letter. Congratulations to him, and to you.

Many, many seniors in the crowd in Denver today. Saw many simple, powerful signs like this one.

But what if I am old

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Federal agents detained a man who was in a car with his wife and two children on Monday night in D.C.

The man said he didn't know why he had been pulled over.

I wish! It was for Westword, the alt weekly I used to work for. Recording long gone.

I got to interview HER once and she was so kind and gracious. I had found an old story she wrote for her high school newspaper and she was intrigued; wrote me after to say what a good interview it was. And so I died happy.

The United States is torturing immigrants. Do you care?

Because if you're American, this is being done in your name.

I'm a daughter, granddaughter, great-granddaughter of immigrants. What if they did this to my family? What if they did it to yours?

Take a look. Not ICE. Just ordinary “officer friendlies” doing what this country allows them to do to unarmed Black men. Remember?

Absolutely agree. That's part of his genius; he gets people to repeat his memes, to internalize them.

Love the cover. Love everything that's happening for you.

Francis was a Jesuit and I think that helped.

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

Growing things is truly saving me right now. Also, this pot is absolutely gorgeous.

Thank you for using your platform to tell the truth, and for documenting the before/after.

Deep cut. Nice.

Donald Trump just put a 10 percent tariff on the Heard Island and McDonald, which has a population of zero people and is inhabited only by penguins.

I don't think he writes these. Disgusting as they are they have decent sentence structure. Ghost writing for a hate monger is quite a credential.

I love you, Mr. President.

You're going to be an amazing senator.

I loved it so and now it's dead to me. Funny thing: After making peace with that, my urge to consume almost totally left me. Hoping others have a similar experience; it's liberating.
