Extraordinary piece by Halim Madi in @48hills about Border People revival. Many insights including: "Hanging transforms from a mundane and unproductive activity to the rare and privileged human experience of being with people in their truth." https://t.co/etKgPK4X8K
My new piece of journalistic theater has launched. TAKES ALL KINDS Stories of American Democracy. People pushing the country forward in the toughest places. Stories of change that changed me. And maybe you. Come experience it! @ILoveTheMarsh and @Oakland_Theater
Vegas is fascinating. An immigrant middle class has risen from the Culinary Union and America's need to numb itself. Also searching for moderate Republicans, and more in my latest Substack essay. https://t.co/0qunLMGNIr

Southern (AZ) and Northern Borders (NY). I started work on Border People after Trump got elected. Went to northern border with Canada, in 2017, and then to Southern Border.
Remounting it next week at The Marsh in SF. 8 performances only. As relevant as ever.
Border People returns to the Bay in three weeks for first time since the pandemic. This show is as relevant as it has ever been. The stories continue to fill me with awe and hope. Hope to see you there! https://t.co/SwoW0illEk
Spent an inspiring week at @berkeleyrep's groundfloor with wonderful group of storytellers. Thinking bout storytelling and its power to bind or unravel us. Wrote a thing about it with stories of Chicago Cops, Mombasa Area Boys and a Nebraska All-Nighter. https://t.co/u9FH2tWVcA
I wrote about the joy of the Oakland A's baseball experience, the triumph of hyper-capitalism. Freezing at the Stick, pale leggy Walnut Creekers at the Coli in the late '80s, and the glorious run-down community center carnaval that is today's game. https://t.co/EZSWOBHwho
