I wish Biden would reflect on this debate performance and then announce his decision to withdraw from the race, throwing the choice of Democratic nominee to the convention. Someone like @gretchenwhitmer or @SherrodBrown or @SecRaimondo could still jump in and beat Trump.

This is what it looks like when journalists and the media enable authoritarianism. I’m so ashamed of our country at this moment. Being watched the world over and this is what we are delivering.

Thrilled that @HomeroAridjis has won poetry's greatest recognition. We were honored to have him as a featured guest in our January 2024 reading at the Museo del Ex-Convento de Tepoztlán and have long loved his poetry. Kudos also to his translator, George McWhorter.

@PacoGoldman @newrepublic Dynamite piece! Totally with you, Paco, on your sense that Claudia will be a Presidenta in her own super-prepared mold. ¡Viva México!

My piece on our new Presidenta: The Secret to Claudia Sheinbaum’s Success: She Is Not Like AMLO at All newrepublic.com/article/182183… Follow @newrepublic

No one has a crystal ball—not even @PacoGoldman!—but this is a terrific appraisal of Claudia Sheinbaum's promise as the next president of Mexico.

Congratulations to our farseeing journalism prof @gingerthomp1 on her move up the masthead at ProPublica. Recognition richly earned and deserved! propublica.org/atpropublica/g…

@Jenn_CG @nmas @juan_martinezd @bavelarr @AleMelgo Jenny, que noticia más estupenda Manda los detalles x correo por fa para felicitarte con bombas y platillo en nuestra página.

Hoy fue día muchas emociones para @nmas #Focus. Más que el premio, que sigo sin creerlo, recibimos mucho amor y eso no nos da la vida para pagarlo. Me he reído como hace mucho no lo hacía con @juan_martinezd @bavelarr y @AleMelgo, comí como nunca y volví a Cataluña hermosa.

Todo México es territorio Pedro Páramo, en cada pueblo hay un Comala. Bajo cada sol reverberante están las voces de las madres abandonadas. Todo es un rencor vivo.

Happy National Poetry Month, with thanks to @jerichobrown for this inspired and inspiring exercise.
