The Goodman Theater commissioned a poem from me in conversation with Margaret Atwood’s new play, The Penelopiad, which is absolute fire. Come see the play and hear me read my poem March 22nd @ 6 pm. goodmantheatre.org/event/play-on-…

It’s too bad Biden is so old because if he were younger, there’s no way people would just say they wouldn’t vote for him because he looks French or sighs too much or looks funny in a tank or is friends with Bill Ayres or uses a private email server.
This movie really is a gem…

“The bottom line is this: You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can’t, … I’m an old-fashioned writer and, despite the odds, I want to change the world.”—James Baldwin in The New York Times, September 23, 1979.

Weather Underground was a tragic movement. I knew Trim Bissell, a very promising young poet. So many lives derailed. There was no romance in any of it. Weathermen imagined that US citizens would rise up & storm prisons to release them. Total delusion.
@veeveeveeveevee Listen to Mother Country Radicals. Let the members of the Weather Underground tell their own story.
I'm starting to think RCP is simply refusing to add any new polls until another Rasmussen poll comes out.
Banner week around here! On Monday, I was awarded tenure at Northwestern. What an incredible honor and relief. And then today, look what came in the mail!
@DanielleFong The podcast “Mother Country Radicals” is SO good and talks about this era in depth. It’s hosted by Zayd Ayers-Dorn (son of Weather Underground activists Bernadine Dorn and Bill Ayers, raised by Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert alongside Chesa Boudin after his parents were arrested)
“If you like pancakes but are silent about waffles then you are complicit™️ and there is no washing the blood from your hands because we will hold you accountable™️.”
“i like pancakes” “so you hate waffles?” is giving twitter users too much credit. it’s more like “i like pancakes” “so you think i should have to eat pancakes every day even though i’m allergic to buttermilk and my father was ground to dust in a flour mill?”
@xgigglypuff Mother Country Radicals is a great series. Lovett or Leave it if you like political humor. 500 greatest songs of all time if you like to learn about what makes music good. Pucks on Net if you like Hockey.
@jeffpearlman Agreed. I learned a lot about his mother learning listening to "Mother Country Radicals" a great podcast by Zaid Dorhn the son of the founder of The Weather Underground. He speaks a lot and highly of Tupac's mother & The Panthers.

No x 100000000. I totally disagree. And some folks disagree with me. And that’s where it will stay.
It would be worse if media didn’t highlight the incredibly brave act of protest. The point of protest like this is to get highlighted by media. I have feelings about how this protest is pointed bc NYTW has no material ability to stop what’s happening in Gaza. But still v brave.

Republicans are now trying to run from their IVF extremism, but we won’t let them hide. Who appointed these judges specifically to upend women’s rights? They did. Who bragged about ending Roe v. Wade? They did. Who is trying to restrict birth control and control sex? They are.
AOC: And they can walk it back as much as they want. They have done this. Who put those judges there? Not Democrats. Not independents. Republicans put those judges in there.
