Of all the stories I’ve written in recent years, this one might be the biggest and closest to my heart. For Mountain Gazette, I went for a long summer trek along private beaches in Cape Cod; a sliver of Massachusetts’ privatized coastline. Which we should reopen to the public.

The pedophile protection party is shutting down Congress just to avoid voting on the release of the Epstein files.

It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.

Every single American politician should be demanding that aid be allowed into Gaza. This is the absolute easiest call to make: People should have food. There is no excuse.

Cant remember any point in my life when I was politically aligned with such a gifted politician.

I actually believe that within the next decade or so, we might see a partitioning of society based on AI buy-in. Two groups of people with two different lived realities.

This is a common misunderstanding. Actually, drivers have a literal legal responsibility to stop at the crosswalk while pedestrians cross.

It’s the most maddening aspect of late stage capitalism. Why are you making it so hard to get a job if I literally need one to survive?? Why are you making everything so expensive and requiring expensive degrees only to then pay me peanuts??? No one can look at the state of the…

As someone who's been applying for months I can say from personal experience that qualified employees are buried in AI-generated rejections. Great system we've set up here

Anyone who is engaged in housing discourse and advocacy should read THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US by Brian Goldstone. No book that I’ve read in recent years has faced the forces driving our homelessness and affordability crisis like this one. It’s an astounding feat of reporting.

Billionaires and politicians have spent the past 3 decades gradually lowering your quality of life and will now call you unrealistic for aspiring to what was once bare minimum. Groceries are supposed to be affordable.

Zohran is much closer to Adelita Grijalva than to this gen z person running as a young person! The Times let its eagerness to throw an L at Mamdani get in the way of having a clue about this race.

Again, the fact that centrist Democrats are outright refusing to quit and endorse the nominee should really be a national story with seismic implications. It’s a stunning repudiation of everything they’ve said to discipline the left for years, a literal splitting of the party.

There’s a 210-mile urban trail around Chicago’s woods and waters. And you can camp on parts of it. So I went out there, spent 48 hours hiking the trail with its founder, and I wrote a story about it. mindthemoss.com/p/city-in-a-ga…

Please stop believing we don’t owe each other anything. We owe each other so much! We owe each other love, equity, understanding, community, compassion, and much more. Don’t let this toxic hyper individualism cut you off from humanity. We’re all connected. We all need each other.

This isn’t really a paradox. People who understand what cigarettes do are also less likely to smoke them.

Poisoning an entire city neighborhood so that you can power an AI supercomputer that's calling itself Mecha-Hitler is why billionaires shouldn't exist.

Film criticism, when done well, is supposed to make you think deeper about a film and engage with it in more complex ways. It is not really meant to decide for the entire population whether or not they should see something. You all have agency. You get to decide that yourself.
