Robert Sullivan

Here's my new book, from @fsgbooks

These might be some of the views they meant

I aspire to always incite this disclaimer, the rest forthcoming

This is SO wrong! Great reporting -- not easy to cover the fans so smartly!

@RESullivanJr also did @JonahDispatch for his rat book, from my fuzzy memory, a great guest!

Lord.

@DPearsonPHL By the time Wilson was in the White House, his father a Confed. vet, the South, having lost, say, the Ft Sumter to Appomattox battles, had fully won the peace.

Many Union veterans deplored these gatherings.

The 1975 Boldt decision changed the world -- or fixed it, to some extent -- and its power reverberates today.

@nybooks Happy to have this piece published in the week of the UN Climate Summit! The UN's DRIP, you might say, was a result in part of the (described herein) world-changing 1975 Boldt Decision, forged by Native American organizers and their allies. cc: @democracynow

Everyone should pay attention to this.

Our 12/4 issue is now online, with @JamesGleick on the Internet before it sucked, @ursulind on Vigdis Hjorth, Sophie Pinkham on Uzbek art, @RESullivanJr on the Native American fight for sovereignty, @ZephyrTeachout on America’s scam economy, and much more. go.nybooks.com/49aNDvj

Many Philadelphia politicians promised that they wouldn't vote for a budget that didn't fund septa, only to fold in the end. Saval stood up for our city. If we are going to get transit done, we need the whole southeast delegation, including the GOP, to stand with him next time.

Btw, Philadelphia has one hero who stood up to the pressure and voted against this budget that sells out our city. His name is Nikil Saval.

I wrote about Thomas Pynchon's Shadow Ticket in the TLS, impressed that the 88-year-old author hadn't defaulted to wintry calm--no, the paranoid carnival is still going full swing. the-tls.com/literature/fic…

Pertinent passage from a tremendous book:

I signed up for the @nytimes again just to say that Delaware County is not rural America. nytimes.com/2025/10/19/opi…

@DPearsonPHL is this -- sorry , no other way to ask - for real?

Interesting choices being made out in the western suburbs

@crosstown_line one the one hand, right?! on the other, there's no such thing as 'rural' or 'urban' -- there are aspects of what we use those terms to describe everywhere. . .

folks, is Delco rural America?

Happy birthday to Melvin Franklin, born on this day in 1942! A soul legend whose love for music, sparked in Birmingham, Alabama’s church choirs, anchored The Temptations with his deep, resonant bass voice. His smooth harmonies on hits like “My Girl” and “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone” (1965-72) defined Motown’s golden era, earning Grammys and influencing R&B vocal groups for decades.
