this first question: would you support a preemptive strike on Iran rather than how would you stop this regional war pretty much encapsulates what is wrong with US media coverage of this conflict

I have had the most amazing four years at the LA Times. My colleagues are smart, tireless, selfless — a real team. It looks like that time has come to an end. I wish all of them the best as I look for a new landing place. Hit me up if you know of any: [email protected].

My beloved MFA student @MosabAbuToha was arrested in #Gaza yesterday by the IDF. I know him to be an honorable man, husband & father of 3 kids, a decorated poet who came to us from Harvard. No one cares wot I think, but I demand his release, by all that is just&holy. @NewYorker

It meant a lot to me to write this story for @TheAtlantic about historic Freedmen’s Town in Houston, the city where I was born. Elbert D. Howze, a Black war veteran and photographer documented the area before much of it was lost to development. https://t.co/qE5tCQRBNG

When we frame jobs as passions or callings, it obscures the fact that jobs are, first and foremost, economic contracts.
