Incredibly honored to be read so generously by @roguepages in this joint review of my and @awayandback's books! Commissioned by @LeahAtWhatPrice for @PublicBooks

The “flying” Tesla is such a bleak symbol. A fake invention for a fake society that’s facing mounting real problems.

We will all find a peaceful American future around the table Culver’s sets for us.
Went to Catholic school & spent a long time reading the Old & New Testaments and the lives of the Saints, but also I was bussed to DC to yell anti abortion slogans. The distance between what I read about Jesus & the behavior I saw in the world brought me to progressive politics.

North Carolina A&T students marched an hour each way to vote on the first day of early voting after their campus polling site was removed by the Guilford County Elections Board. Proud 👏🏽
