Go, Macy!
I’m so thrilled to be among this class of Guggenheim fellows, especially as I embark on my next book about how political divides are sundering families and communities, exacerbated by the gaping hole created by decimated local news. Thanks so much for this honor! #GuggFellows2023

The public libraries of America provide all kinds of information for all kinds of Americans. You, sir, should visit one.
Over time, American communities will build beautiful, church owned public-access libraries. I’m going to help these churches get funding. We will change the whole public library paradigm. The libraries regular Americans recall are gone. They’ve become liberal grooming centers.
