On Sept. 11, 2021 — the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks — I published Part I of a blog post about the occasion. CLICK HERE FOR THE 9/11/21 BLOG POST. I planned to publish Part II the following day, but I didn’t. Nor did I publish it in all the days that followed,…
In the News
Treason’s Greetings! (Fox Lies!)
Merry Christmas from me … and the activist organizations Truth Tuesdays and Rise and Resist! Our group Christmas photo was taken on December 7 in the public plaza in front of Fox News, where I’ve taken part in a powerful “Fox Lies, Democracy Dies” protest every Tuesday since August,. Truth Tuesdays isn’t taking a break…
RIP, Virgil Abloh
When I saw eclectic designer/artist/DJ Virgil Abloh’s name trending on Twitter yesterday, I expected that he was sharing more big plans for next week’s Art Basel Miami Beach, for which he had already announced a Louis Vuitton menswear show and the debut of an electric Maybach that he collaborated on with Mercedes-Benz. But instead of…
Flashback: The Best Day of 2020
One year ago today, I posed at the fence that the former guy had built around the White House to keep protestors at a distance. I was still feeling the pure joy of the previous day, when the 2020 presidential election was called for Joe Biden. At the moment that news broke on Nov. 7,…
20 Years After 9/11, Part I
“The days are long, but the years are short.” I think of that saying every September 11. On that date in 2001, in the wake of the deadliest foreign terrorist attack on U.S. soil, it felt like time stopped, or, at least, that it should have, because how could life ever be the same? Instead,…
September 12 and the Wall Street Journal
The 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks is practically upon us. I’m working on a post about that, of course. In the meantime, I wanted to share a couple of things related to the Wall Street Journal and MrB (aka Paul Steiger, aka the managing editor of the WSJ from 1991 through 2007). The…
Get NASTY About Abortion Rights
Once again, my famous sterling-silver NASTY necklace is raising funds for abortion rights! From now through September 18 (or until inventory runs out), I will donate $100 of the $300 purchase price of each necklace sold to the group of 10 Texas abortion funds that I mentioned in last week’s post. (As always, I will…
Join Me for Truth Tuesday, Abortion-Rights Edition
I’m part of a group of activists holding a weekly Truth Tuesdays protest at the Fox News building in New York City, in order to push back against Fox’s constant lies. We’re there every Tuesday at 9 a.m. and tomorrow we’re focusing on abortion rights, due to the oppressive Texas legislation and Fox’s Tucker Carlson…
How to Fight for Reproductive Rights
I assume you’re up-to-date on the Christofascist ban on abortion that’s been legalized in Texas, but maybe you’re still wondering what to do about it. First, here’s a tiny bit of good news: Thanks to public outcry, hosting company GoDaddy is forcing an abortion vigilante site — one that encouraged people to anonymously send in…
Jewel of the Month: Queen Min Earrings
I’m extra excited to share June’s Jewel of the Month here, albeit at the last possible minute, because this is the first significant new gold design that I’ve created since 2019. Last year was a washout for jewelry design, but the pandemic wasn’t to blame. My manufacturers actually masked up and went back to work…
