I was name-checked in this long article about the South Kent School students preparing a local historical presentation on Florence Chandler Maybrick, the subject of my forthcoming book, "Death of the Cat Lady." kentdispatch.org/students-to-... I sent them this photo of Florence. 👇

Pope Francis, in the hospital, wrote this. The last line here is just delicious.

GRAMMAR SMACKDOWNS!!! I use Scrivener and Grammarly to edit text, and it gives me great pleasure and motivation to see them both trying to revise each other's changes, back and forth. It's like grammar tennis and about as entertaining as this fifth rewrite of my book could offer.

True, Jasmine, but wouldn’t it be better if RFKJr sat down to share a meal with a few folks on the Autism Spectrum? He really needs to meet & get to know some, face to face. Then maybe he won’t be talking smack about real lives that he doesn’t know.

You deserve a few hours of funny! My book, "Favorite Stories of Mullah Nasruddin: Best-loved tales of the famous funny wise fool," is now available as an audiobook, narrated by Ian Fisher. DM me for a FREE review copy.

Yesterday the House of Representatives voted to disenfranchise me, who like millions of men and women changed my name decades ago. These new ID restrictions seem tailor made to discriminate against women. Imagine if Congress put half as much effort into finding money to feed hungry kids. 1/

Thank you, Senator Booker @booker.senate.gov for sowing the seeds of hope in our nation.

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate Minnesota’s transgender community and recommit to standing up for our neighbors in the face of hatred. As your Governor, I’m proud to stand in this fight with you.

This might be the best thing I’ve ever seen at a town hall @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

Hands off the Post Office, it works just fine. It would help if Congress stopped skimming off money

Just introduced a bipartisan bill with Rep. Chuck Edwards: the Economic Opportunity for Distressed Communities Act. It would turn all Superfund + Brownfield sites into Opportunity Zones—clean up pollution, attract investment, and give folks a tax break. Win-win.

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

When you to play hooky and golf, but your boss tells you to watch his kid...

I almost wish that Zelenskyy stood and said, “What I am *not* wearing, sir, is an adult diaper. Or a furniture condom.”

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

They have no answer for what the oligarchs are doing to America.
