Do you live in or near the Hudson Valley/NYC (or traveling-distance therefrom) and have a book coming out this fall? Do you want to read from it at a bookstore reading series? Hit me up if you do! (Will not be able to reply to every request, be forewarned)

I'm still catching up with The Pitt and ofc, everyone admires how medically accurate this show is but why is no one talking about how Pittfest makes no sense? Middle of the workweek, during the day? Audience is ravers, suburban moms, Dead Head boomer hippies?

I don't care what side of the Israel-Palestine conflict your sympathies lie on, snatching up people with a valid student visa for the crime of writing an OpEd is naked fascism and if you don't oppose this you are a threat to this country's most basic values

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying. They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks. From WCVB: youtu.be/PuFIs7OkzYY

The arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil—a green card holder whose wife is eight months pregnant—is a blatant assault on the First Amendment and a sign of advancing authoritarianism under Trump. He must be released now.

This extreme escalation is an egregious violation of first amendment rights. Now is the moment to speak out and oppose this as fiercely and loudly as possible.

This weekend, DHS targeted and seized Mahmoud Khalil as punishment for his political speech, and indicated that they are revoking his green card. They have since handed him over to ICE where he is being detained — his location unknown — and held for deportation without due process. This is what fascist governments do, and it will not stop here. This extreme escalation is the test case; the Trump/Musk administration is trying to see how far they can go without public outrage and legal checks on their power. Now is the moment to speak out and oppose this as fiercely and loudly as possible.

A slew of reviews just came in for WASTE WARS by Alexander Clapp! The first is from @washingtonpost.com, which calls Alex "a lively writer," which "deftly combines history and global economics with stories of real people and tangible details of modern life." www.washingtonpost.com/books/2025/0...

Review | That plastic bag you just threw away may end up in Indonesia

Alexander Clapp’s “Waste Wars” tells the story of how trash from wealthy countries began traveling across borders, aided by shadowy networks of waste traders.
