Cool to see @ezraklein citing 5 Factor Theory in the @nytimes a few months ago. Here’s another take on another factor; thanks to @PressHerald for publishing this take on the destructive power of close mindedness. https://t.co/7sRXUcEzv7
While watching that horrifying exchange with Zelenkskyy, I couldn't help but think about what a deliberately staged reality-TV moment it was, with two people ganging up on one and screaming a classic, totally petulant reality-TV accusation: They hadn't been thanked enough.
"JUST UNTIL is about family, about choices, and about giving space to stories that often aren't heard. I hope Hannah's voice finds every reader who needs to hear her. Thanks to Holiday House and Margaret Ferguson Books for bringing it to the world!" - @jmoldover
How do fascists derail democracy? If you study history (or read Project 2025), it’s almost like there’s a recipe book: goose the economy, abolish unions, privatize what’s public, win the support of tycoons. But at what cost? Mesmerize your base so they don’t care. Blind them with your fear-mongering, lies, and promises. Fascism needs a bold leader…the only one who can fix things…a dictator who has the vision and expects others to follow (including women…whether they like it or not).
I believe that history is indeed speaking to us — and those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it. To learn how fascism hijacked Germany a century ago, just watch this five-minute clip. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching.
This is an excerpt from my hourlong public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” which is streaming free (and ad-free) at https://t.co/YA10kVH0V8. When I produced it back in 2018, I hoped this day would never come in our country. But November 5th is upon us.
Please share this with anyone in your life who might need a reminder that the stakes are high…and this is very real.
November is Diabetes Awareness Month which means it’s a good time to repost this piece I published in @mcsweeneys and also salute @lifeforachild , an org doing great work for kids with T1D

It's funny how interstellar is billed as hard sci-fi because they went all in on animating the black hole and gesture at relativity but there's not a single plot element that actually makes sense
My chat w/ YA author @jmoldover, re his new novel #JustUntil was *terrific*. We discussed: (1) writing about trauma, (2) whether you can really save another person, and (3), our most colorful insights re the publishing industry.
