    The country is now divided among those who want the killings to stop and those who don’t. Which side are you on? bit.ly/29Hcria

    I'm very pleased that Basic is publishing this, my first political book. I've tried to articulate some principles as calmly as I'm able, in the obvious light of the ongoing national emergency.

    Donald Trump's lies, and his urge to tell them, are pure Big Brother crude, however oafish their articulation: newyorker.com/news/daily-com…

    Trump's platform is resentment and his program is revenge. This is fascism with an American face.

    You cannot spit in the plates and then demand your dinner. The best way to receive civility at night is to not assault it all day long. It’s the simple wisdom of the table.

    Never before in American politics has there been so plausible a reason for exclusion from the common meal as the act of working for Donald Trump.

    This is what we celebrate today, or ought to: the command of argument and evidence; the moral confidence that turns anger into eloquence; the readiness to answer ridiculous question with the rational truth of history.Rage alchemized by purpose into reason. #MartinLutherKing

    I almost never do this, but before sharing my own BBC broadcast, I wanted to re-tweet this from...Arnold. I found it deeply moving and right, and he, with the lived experience to do it, does not hesitate to draw the analogies to the German-Austrian thirties...

    A perfect night out in Montreal. Father-son reunion. Habs victory in overtime. Sandwich afterwards at Schwartz's. Happiness.
