The Danger of “Hot Takes”
August 5, 2022

While what happens on Twitter–the memes, the controversies–may not resonate with or represent the experiences of the general electorate, many of the trends are illustrative of, and often exacerbate, fundamental challenges to our democracy. Consider so-called Hot Takes, which are […]

Pro-Life My Foot
June 28, 2022

Now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v Wade and left it to the states to decide whether a woman has autonomy over her body, it’s worth taking a peek under the hood of the “pro-life” viewpoint.

The Golden Rule
June 20, 2022

For most of us, when faced with a law or policy we don’t like, our options are to comply with it, or, failing to do so, risk fines, imprisonment, job-loss, and ostracism. But for the powerful, it’s very different: they can comply, sure, but they can also lobby to change the rules, bend them, or simply ignore them–and rarely face consequences.

Merging Our On- and Off-line Selves
February 6, 2022

I started using the Internet in the late 90s, when I was in my early teens and services like CompuServe, Netscape, and AOL were becoming, if not ubiquitous, at least more common. I remember the thrill of joining AOL chat […]

A Nonprofit CEO’s 2021 Charitable Giving
January 1, 2022

Since, as the CEO of a nonprofit, I spend a lot of time raising money from donors and, more importantly, deploying those dollars for impact, I thought I’d share how I think about my personal giving–and where I give.

I Run a Nonprofit Lender. All I Think About is the Erosion of Democracy.
December 11, 2021

It is a fallacy to claim that because only one political party opposes this rising threat, fighting for the preservation of American democracy is a partisan issue. If a train is on the verge of crashing into a group of pedestrians, the political affiliation of the conductor is immaterial to the task at hand: saving lives.

It’s Time for Corporate America to Put Up or Shut Up on Saving Democracy
June 14, 2021

The Big Lie that fueled an attempted coup now forms the basis of an entire political party’s strategy for holding on to power: make it hard for people who are likely to vote the “wrong way” to cast a ballot, label any election they lose as fraudulent, and slowly give themselves the power to overturn elections they disagree with.

Don’t Bring a Watering Can to a Five-Alarm Fire
May 23, 2021

Justice can only be achieved by the judicious application of power. Yet all around me I see emergencies–climate change, a Republican party rapidly descending into full-on authoritarianism, a shockingly unequal global distribution of COVID-19 vaccines–and good people failing to use […]

Enough
April 17, 2021

After another week of mass shootings and police murder of unarmed Black men and boys; of despicable voter suppression laws; of political cowardice; and of corporate doublespeak, I’ve had it. For how much longer are we going to pretend that […]

The American Rescue Plan is Good for Democracy
March 7, 2021

The passage of the American Rescue Plan Act is good news for a nation still reeling from the ongoing pandemic and resultant economic crisis, but it is perhaps even better news for another element of America that is sick: our democracy.
