Writing business emails that start with “Hi! Hope you’re well” while the federal government just killed an innocent woman, froze childcare funding, and ran an illegal coup in Venezuela over the weekend… I’m pretty sure this cognitive dissonance is going to kill me. Anyone else?

A travel story about finding solidarity in unexpected places
When we become alive to each other a better future seems possible
In October, I took a flight during the government shutdown. A series of connections revealed to me the importance of recognizing each other more fully. And how that recognition is key to building collective energy to fight the forces seeking to hoard wealth & power. open.substack.com/pub/communit...

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”
Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

This was one of the most hopeful articles I've reported in a while. It's a great example of collaboration toward action. And, it involves ice cream 😋

The loss of stories that matter
On what we lose when the purpose of news and stories is profit
Public and local media have been gutted this month, and I'm feeling a lot of loss. When news isn't a public good and is instead a profit-maker, we lose. www.communityreturns.show/p/the-loss-o...

The Mystery of Food Deserts
They didn’t materialize around the country for no reason. Something happened.
1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.

The Democrats’ Electoral College Squeeze
In the future, even winning the former “Blue Wall” states won’t be enough for the party’s presidential nominees.
New >> California and New York are projected to lose up to 8 electoral votes in 2030. Texas and Florida are projected to gain 8.
If Kamala Harris had to compete with that map, even winning Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin wouldn’t have saved her. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
