You might’ve heard that Sen @BasedMikeLee is attempting to sell up to 3 million acres of public land and open the door for 250 million more to be sold off later. What you might not know: This is not a one-off. It’s a long game - and he’s been playing it for years. 🧵

@AndrewPorter01 Wow, I remember reading it in Ploughshares! Great story! Looking forward to reading it again

So excited to share that my short story “Angelo,” which originally appeared in Ploughshares, was selected by Celeste Ng for the 2025 Best American Short Stories! Having a story in BASS has been one of my literary dreams since I first started writing short stories in college! ✨
