My first print pub!!!
My short-short story “Red on Yellow” (which is also the prologue to my novel-in-progress) is out in issue #57 of @Salamander_Mag!!! (P.S. It was rejected 48 times over three years of submitting, and yet ended up in one of my favorite literary magazines!)

“Shy” (@GraywolfPress) marks another development in Max Porter’s singular, polyphonic style, distinguishing itself as his most urgent book yet.

My beloved MFA student @MosabAbuToha was arrested in #Gaza yesterday by the IDF. I know him to be an honorable man, husband & father of 3 kids, a decorated poet who came to us from Harvard. No one cares wot I think, but I demand his release, by all that is just&holy. @NewYorker

.@GregAbbott_TX just accidentally posted a satire article because he wants to hate on queer Texans and Garth Brooks so bad.
The Texas Country Jamboree doesn’t exist. Hambriston, Texas is not real. And the Governor is not fit to tweet, much less govern.
Happy pride! 🏳️🌈

I'm suing.
The recent actions violate my 1st amendment rights, as well as the rights of my 11,000 constituents to representation.
Montana's State House is the people’s House, not Speaker Regier’s, and I’m determined to defend the right of the people to have their voices heard.

The entire @missoulian opinion page—14 LTEs from Kalispell, Hamilton, Florence, Missoula—all expressing support for @ZoAndBehold and disdain for @MTGOP. #mtpol

What is happening inside the walls of the Montana State Capitol, does not at all represent the city or the people outside of those walls.
The City of Helena chooses love over fear every time and stands with Rep. @ZoAndBehold — who will continue to outshine the GOP-led extremism that seeks to silence her voice.

So Don Lemon got fired for … doing his job?
A ✌🏾presidential candidate✌🏾that says the NRA helped Black people secure their rights deserved to be called out for lying. Not to mention that asinine characterization of the Civil War.

Here’s how Israeli apartheid works:
If you are Palestinian and get convicted of a crime, you go to jail.
If you are Israeli, and a commit a crime against Palestinians, you don’t.
It’s not that complicated after all.
