America, the election is almost here. Here’s what to expect when polls close: The margins are going to be close, but our campaign is on track to win this election. Americans all across the country are casting their votes in record numbers, ready to turn the page. It will take

In Plato's famous parable, we are all prisoners in a cave, believing that our shadowy surroundings are reality, but needing to break out into a sunnier, airier, more lively world. During our American election cycles, polling is the cave. Very early on, polls establish some

That was a cataclysm. Electoral map wipeout. Senate D practical ceiling is now 52 seats. R's is 62. Time to rebuild the left. We are out of touch with the crisis of meaning/purpose fueling MAGA. We refuse to pick big fights. Our tent is too small. 1/ Some early thoughts:

Today, Putin admitted to taking a second step this year toward escalating and expanding this war. A new ballistic missile was used. Putin struck our city of Dnipro, one of Ukraine’s largest cities. This is a clear and severe escalation in the scale and brutality of this war—a

Jeering at a genocide of a 40 million country and mocking defenders of that country who sacrifice their lives to protect their people. And that coming from a country who made a commitment to defend Ukraine (Budapest memorandum). Tasteless jokes as a whole country is destroyed,

Is it Thanksgiving or Tanksgiving or Taxgiving today? It’s hard to tell these days.

If you say, "Putin, stop," Putin won't stop. If you say, "Putin, we'll stop arming and helping Ukraine, and we'll forbid it to strike; Ukraine is now unarmed and not a threat to Russia," Putin won't stop. Ukraine has never been a threat. My country is a peaceful country that

As a proud Angeleno, the fires that have devastated our county have been heart-breaking. I am so fortunate that while my own home in the Palisades was at risk and had some damage from the fires, I am safe. So many others cannot say the same, and my heart goes out to all of those

How countries deal with problems

Four years ago I wrote my inaugural poem The Hill We Climb. Both when I wrote it and performed it, I did so while continuously reflecting on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and Coretta Scott King’s legacy. I was (and am) blown away by how my words reverberated around the world; if

Echoing the teachings of Jesus and calling out Trump's cruelty, ignorance, and bigotry to his face, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde delivers a sermon for the ages. Bishop Budde stared down authoritarian fascism and said 'Not today, motherfucker.' 😳👇

The facts. 🔹 Zelenskyy’s approval rating is 57% 🔹 Russia launched a full scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, at 4.00 a.m. — committing a crime of aggression 🔹 Total Military & Non-Military Assistance from US to Ukraine: $118 billion 🔹 Total Military &

Draadje. Natuurlijk is dit allemaal buitengewoon zorgelijk, maar het is tijd dat we het fatalisme achter ons laten en naar de toekomst kijken met vertrouwen. We maken Europa vaak veel te klein, terwijl er zeker mogelijkheden en kansen liggen. 1/?

It's gonna get worse, as they will lie twice as much about things we remember ourselves. So I will recap. Three years ago my home country, Russia, invaded Ukraine. It was a bloody and brutal escalation of the war that began with Crimea annexation.
