I write, photograph, blog, design useless stuff, get into heated arguments and generally hunt for story ideas in and around the Hudson Valley.

How did we end? We chose the right to bear arms over the promotion of the general welfare. We’d rather have a private arsenal than public education.

Your future guardian of America’s health, a short story: The outbreak of measles in Samoa starting in September 2019 created a panic. Schools closed, Christmas events were cancelled, lockdowns ensued. More…

When they offer school “choice” or health care “choice” or social security “choice” or Veterans “choice”- that’s privatization. You pay taxes, and instead of giving it back to you, Republicans give it to their rich CEO friends. Then they cut CEO taxes.

Charles Schulz wrote this letter in reply to a 10-year-old kid who had written and asked, “What makes a good citizen?” Although this letter was written in 1970, almost 54 years to the day, it very much reads as if it could have been written today. Let’s keep asking ourselves…

Pete Hegseth is the epitome of white privilege. A weekend anchor on Fox and Friends, a Major in the National Guard will be the head of the most powerful military in the history of the world. The military is suppose to be apolitical. Pete Hegseth is purely political. Together with…

That's a damned shame to dime out your Mama on national TV. But seriously, she doesn't want to hear his fox, maga, trump, bs and ruin her meal. Maga people want a fight. They aren't prepared for us simply walking away.

I was talking to an administrator at my school about this... We were both lamenting how gross it is to know we have Trump voters teaching our children and he goes, "I wonder what they'll think when we have ICE parked outside waiting to take kids" and I am sick about it 😞😡

"If what you want is a centrist campaign that's quiet on trans issues, tough on the border, distances itself from Palestinians, talks a lot about law and order, and reaches out to moderate Republicans, that candidate existed and she just lost" ~John Oliver on dems moving right


I won’t even be watching comedians do impressions. Nothing about him is funny.

Headlines: "MSNBC Ratings Crater As Viewers Tune Out Trump Victory Coverage" Even lower ratings for CNN. I'm not watching either one of them and looks like I have company. They sanewashed Trump for ratings and money hurting the Democratic Candidate Harris. Let them eat cake..

Trump has now reaffirmed his plan to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education. For the record that department funds, among other things, all the special education and special needs program in public schools and public colleges in all 50 states.

This blue bracelet nonsense serves ONLY to make white Harris-voters feel better about their individual vote. It is BLATANT white supremacy culture: This insistence on assessment ONLY as an individual, NEVER as part the COLLECTIVE groups (white people force all not-whites into).


Evidently. Lives are cheap when eggs are momentarily expensive.

Stand up for Black women in rooms WE ARE NOT IN & NEVER WOULD BE INVITED TO that’s it that’s the work

Meanwhile, we are out here centering ourselves and engaging in protest votes.

Notice how all the Black people you’re connected to have the same vibe today? How we’re pretty much all on the same page? That’s called COLLECTIVE thinking and COLLECTIVE action—something white people actively resist and the reason y’all act the way you do. Ahwell!



Rachel Maddow’s take is laudable but it is aspirational. Please remember, too, that how this will go is that lots of the people we meet as we try to reconnect with our humanity will be only friend-shaped, not friends.

been thinking about some recent scholarship on policing under Nazism, and how, contrary to common belief, it was less an apparatus of rigorous totalitarian surveillance than a clearinghouse for civilians informing on each other, in numbers that actually regularly overwhelmed it
