-Mia Farrow narrates Rosemary’s Baby and does a fantastic job
-Audio is the only way to do Viola Davis’s memoir, Finding Me! Riveting.
-really loved City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert on audio!
My favorite is the triceratops but that’s mostly because I felt very attached to Cera from The Land Before Time as a child. 🥲
This one is a little shocking, wow
In 2003, US citizen Rachel Corrie was killed by Israeli soldiers using a US-provided bulldozer.
Her parents are calling on senators to vote yes today to block $295 million worth of these bulldozers to Israel. Join them by calling your senators TODAY:
More proof that being transphobic breaks your brain.

There literally is in Israel's most popular news station. Dystopian.
Chart showing Average Daily ICE Arrests by Criminal Record, 7-Day Rolling Average, October 1, 2024 to March 5, 2026. The data shows that arrests of people with any prior conviction or any pending charge fluctuated between 300-400 a day from June 2025 to March 2026, never spiking much below or above that. By March, arrests of that group had fallen from 380 a day in June 2025 to around 300 a day in March 2025 Arrests of people with any pending charge have fluctuated between 250 and 375 a day. In June 2025 it was around 300 a day. As of March 2026, it is also around 300 a day. By contrast, arrests of people with no criminal record spiked to nearly 600 a day during the Los Angeles operation, and have consistently been above 350. Arrests of this group were above 500 a day from the start of Operation Midway Blitz in September through January. As of March 5, they had fallen to just over 400 a day.
The data we are getting out of ICE now conclusively destroys their "worst of the worst" narrative. Since the Los Angeles raids began in June last year, there has been a massive expansion of ICE arrests against people with no criminal record, while arrests of others remained flat.
Ta-Nehisi Coates was raked over the coals for comparing Israeli apartheid to Jim Crow and to be frank you have to put effort into not seeing it. This in some important ways goes farther than US segregationists did.
Gavin Newsom said last week he “regrets” using the term apartheid when describing Israel.
This week, Israel’s parliament passed a death penalty law its authors say will only apply to Palestinians.
One state, two legal systems. That’s apartheid.
I mean, this is just straight from the Bible:
"And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood." -Isaiah 1:15
Doing a 92Y book event in 2021 was a thrill for me, as it would be for just about any author. But there's no way I'd go back, as a speaker or an audience member, given the behavior of its current leadership.
If you're wondering why Thune is desperate to get Trump to cut a funding deal it's because thanks to Trump's genius political intellect captive audiences of thousands of angry swing state voters are now watching ICE get paid to to this literally in front of the TSA agents who aren't getting paid
If you spot ICE agents at an airport in the coming days, I want to hear from you.

The first year of congestion pricing in New York saw straphangers take more than 90 million additional subway rides than in the previous year, a new report from the Permanent Citizens Advisory Committee to the MTA (PCAC) found. According to the rider advocacy group's analysis, which it released on Tuesday, ridership on the city's rails grew from 1.21 billion to 1.3 billion between 2024 and 2025. The bump marked a 7.7% rise - double the increase in ridership between 2023 and 2024.
here’s a crazy fact: under congestion pricing, NYC subway ridership grew by more than the *total* number of riders on BART last year
Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."
We do in Massachusetts!
“As Karen got to know the guards at the Northwest ICE Processing Center where she was held, she kept hearing the same thing from them: that ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. “Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that.””
This is a 100% elite manufactured craze.
“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”
There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.
They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.
I could almost see her point in the beginning, like yes, someone writing an email not explicitly about a sex crime MIGHT not be the most guilty of them all, but then she goes and defends Ghislaine?!? Like, girl are you okay??
