Why Does Change Happen?
December 11, 2022

Unfortunately, many of us, especially activists and other change agents, understand far too little about what works and doesn’t, why some protests fizzle out and others lead to transformational change.

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 […]

December 19, 2021

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

Our Nation Cannot Heal Without First Acknowledging Who Made Us Sick
February 27, 2021

Even after he came close to ending the American experiment, the vast majority of Republicans, including those backed by Koch, continue to stand with the former president. America’s political illness has led to great suffering, death, and inequity.

I Condemn the Attempted Coup
January 10, 2021
