I am so grateful/excited to share: I wrote a novel - A Fire So Wild - and it’s getting published. A lifelong dream come true. It’s a love letter to California and a questioning of how we build meaningful lives amid the wreckage of the climate crisis. Comes out in Spring 2024 🌱

As long we live in a capitalist society, if you can’t afford to pay your workers a living wage you can’t afford to own your business. But we know this is often ultimately a lie to keep the pockets of higher ups safely and generously lined.

The LAPD murdered Keenan Anderson. A beloved high school English teacher and father who FLAGGED THEM DOWN FOR HELP after a car accident. He was a threat to no one. He needed help and it cost him his life. The LAPD must be held accountable for this at all costs. #KeenanAnderson

As a suicide survivor, I just want to tell those feeling the despair of depression that being alive is worth it. There is no permanent nirvana of happiness at the end of the tunnel, but with the right resources, you will be able to eventually find the good days worth living for.

I am so shocked and so sad to hear about the tragic death of Blake Hounshell (@NYTBlake @blakehounshell.) I met him in Cairo when I was 22, on the day I got my very first newspaper job. I was excited when he joined The Times and wish I’d spent more time hanging out with him here.

Berkeley, a city with ~800 unsheltered homeless, has one emergency warming shelter, with 80 cots. It doesn't serve meals, doesn't allow kids, and kicks everyone out at 6:30am, even during storms so bad Caltrans is begging people to stay off the streets.

Please join me in calling ⁦on Boston University to accept the fair price of tenants seeking control over their homes through a Black-led community land trust instead of ⁦⁩ selling the LA property to developers who would evict over 100pp!

New year, new check to the strike fund. As a HarperCollins author, I’m appalled by the company still not coming to the bargaining table with workers - the union is asking for the bare minimum: fair pay, more diversity and job security. Do better, .
