Dear @bsky.app,
I'm looking for writers of memoir and creative nonfiction with fewer than 200 subscribers (just like me). Let's build each other up.

He can’t stay out of midterm interference. 🤯>Just imagine I’m there; they won’t know the difference since I’m always sleeping.
If he wants to make the midterms all about himself, he should buy all the Republican candidates his face mask.

40% more kids are eating breakfast and 15% more are eating lunch since we launched free school meals in Minnesota.
Now we’re making sure 100% of kids eat their broccoli.

New piece is up. It's about the photos that kept me tethered to the world for a while. It's also about buttercups, Cheryl Strayed, and my late friend Kate Vita, who taught me that the most important thing you can do in any artistic endeavor is to forget about everyone else and just do it for you.

We need more politicians like Pete, who not only see the problems, but also has ideas to fix them. I was accused of "ageism" when I said the old guard needs to step down. It's not about age, it's about the attitude of going along to get along, of being tone deaf to the times we're living in, etc.

A Florida “Deputy of the Year” resigned after an investigation found he used Flock cameras to track his ex, put a gun in his girlfriend’s mouth during sex, used racial slurs and apparently gave a Nazi salute.
This seems to have been the final straw for Flock in Florida.

He’s scared, and proposing a constitutional amendment to keep SCOTUS at 9 justices because court expansion is actually mainstream. Jim Clyburn endorsed it Sunday. 👀

I want to tell you about David, a long time Winsted small business owner who is now living out of his truck. I met him at Dunkin on my walk across the state.
“How come the government spends a zillion dollars on this fucking war but doesn’t care about people like me at all?”

A reminder for Corporate Democrats: New research from Yale found that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year.
It's no surprise why the majority of Americans — including 90% of Democratic voters — support it.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
