As I reported for In These Times last year, toxic silica dust is fueling a black lung crisis among young coal miners in Appalachia. This long-awaited new rule cuts the legal silica exposure limit *in half* and will save so many lives inthesetimes.com/article/coal-m…

HEY! James has a new piece in my fave mag inthesetimes about how congress, already hella white, disbanded the DEI office that was actually doing stuff, to promise an even more white future. Y’all need to read this and share it! Thank you!

Author, humorist and ITT senior editor Kurt Vonnegut died on this day in 2007.

After almost 40 years, Tikkun Magazine is officially shutting down. These are some of the issues I produced there when I was managing editor in 2016. Was really honored to work with some incredible folks and so many brilliant writers and artists. Sad to see it close.

I simply believe that no one going about their business should have to deal with five belligerent people jumping out and pointing weapons at them while screaming at them to get out of their car.
