The Seizure and the Lesson
I didn’t feel the seizure coming.
The moment that stayed with me:
An EMS captain looked at my POST form and said,
“This is what this means.”
Hospice isn’t giving up.
Hospice is consent being honored.
New piece is up.

The Politics of Not Knowing
How willful ignorance became identity, and why learning together is the last act of civic repair.
Politicized stupidity isn’t stupidity at all—it’s the fear of what we’d have to confront if we knew better.
My latest piece explores ignorance as belonging and learning as moral repair.

No Kings, No Idols
From divine right to executive order, America’s founding paradox returns. Re-signing the social contract begins with learning to yield.
“We traded the divine right of kings for the consent of the governed. Somewhere along the way, we forgot: consent means restraint.”
New essay: No Kings, No Idols. On Trump, the Framers, and the courage to yield.

Smudged Thumbprint
It’s worse—and it may be tumor-worse.
New post: Smudged Thumbprint.
This one’s about scans, language, and the strange space between treatment and disease. Nine years in, I’m still learning to live in that space.
If you’re going through it, I see you.

Generation Interrupted
A High Holidays D’var on Cellular Memory, Civic Repair, and Belonging
Rosh HaShanah remembers creation not as something finished, but as a question posed again each year. What kind of world will we create this year—through what we excuse, through what we repair, through what we dare to begin again?

Deviant Democracy
On politics, patient advocacy, and why I show up
“I’m not here to pass Parsons’s test. I showed up on Capitol Hill not to play ‘good patient,’ but to remind lawmakers that patients who will never fold neatly back into ‘normal’ still deserve more than a shrug.”

The Homeland Worth Defending
ICE wants you to guard the gate. I want you to find the door back to your own story.
The uniform isn’t your belonging. The flag isn’t your story.

ah yes stop and frisk, which was ruled unconstitutional and thus not "perfectly legal," would have for sure prevented the nevada resident from bringing his south carolina manufactured ar-15 into manhattan and the senator from louisiana is for sure in a position to decide for the residents of nyc

The Dialogue Is the Data
An argument for AI ethics that begins with conversation—not simulation.
AI ethics needs more than fear or fluency.
It needs philosophy.
New from Adam Marc Writes:
The Dialogue Is the Data
We can’t access the machine. But we can study the conversation.
Slow AI. Conversational Realism.

“In his final weeks, he wasn't just doing comedy; he was bearing witness. When Trump manufactured crises or pushed authoritarian policies, Colbert was there to say "this isn't normal." Night after night, in homes across America.

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

How US views of immigration have changed since Trump took office, according to Gallup polling
A Gallup poll shows a substantial jump in the share of Americans who view immigration as positive for the U.S. since President Donald Trump took office.
"Almost 9 in 10 U.S. adults, 85%, favor a pathway to citizenship for immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children, and nearly as many say they favor a path to citizenship for all immigrants in the country illegally as long as they meet certain reqmnts."
