Back in January, I did leg day with @hasanthehun for @NYTStyles, hoping to figure out what it means to be a left-wing man in a red-pilled world.

- For the June issue of Rolling Stone, I spent time with the radically anti-fascist, anti-racist & pro-LGBT groups taking up arms to defend marginalized people against the militant far right. “This is the Wild fuckin West, man. We kinda do what we gotta do.”
- News: Protesters fighting to defend Atlanta’s forest are determined to keep up the struggle, even after one of their own was killed by police. And they’re not buying the cops’ story of what happened.
- For the September issue of @RollingStone, I profiled Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, who is in the fight of his life to hold on to a crucial seat in November -- despite the fact that his party has almost completely left the state behind.
- Replying to @jscrosGift link here. Big thanks to @Bernstein for the link up on this and the ever patient Tony Rotunno for editing
- Replying to @jscrosLike many readers, the concept of bringing *more* weapons to a tense situation sounds insane to me. But what I found was that many marginalized people already facing explicit violence and intimidation from the far right don't see many other options. rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…
- I'd be lying if I said I slept well last night, but a year into the war and central Kyiv is completely quiet. No air raid warnings for hours. Hoping it stays this way, and predictions of an anniversary wave of missiles and drones were overblown, but there's a lot of day left.
- Replying to @jscros and @libbycwatsonthe entire document is gonna be an absolute minefield for hapless reporters on tv who aren't familiar with the toxic culture he's coming from/ don't understand online
- A couple years ago while backpacking @evanhill and I watched an incredibly bad Afghanistan movie on my tiny phone screen & thought damn, this should be a podcast: war movies for the 9/11 generation. Well here it is: @schlockawepod Ep. 1: AMERICAN SNIPER schlockandawe.substack.com/p/american-sni…
- good reporting day. saw dog. was given a banana for my health by very insistent grandmother. saw other dogs
- Replying to @libbycwatsonthere's a lot in there that's blatant trolling -- he has a section about video games where he jokes that he was radicalized by spyro 3/ jokes about flossing in fortnight
- For the February issue of Rolling Stone, I spent the fall inside the New York Young Republican Club — a maelstrom of ambition & anger at the heart of the MAGA movement. Along the way: a guy in full plate armor, a sink full of vomit, & Donald Trump himself.
- Kherson has all the aid it needs. The occupation is over. But the city is still a ghost town, thanks to constant Russian shelling, which strikes at random, with no discernable objective or goal beyond fear. My dispatch from the city for Rolling Stone:
- How do you protest the most protected, insulated person on earth? Get as close as you can and start yelling. Inside one arm of the laser-focused anti-war effort to push Biden towards a ceasefire, for @RollingStone
