I profiled Stanley Bellamy, a formerly incarcerated activist and organizer with @RAPPcampaign, and spoke to @SalazarSenate, a sponsor of the Fair and Timely Parole Act. A big thank you to Inquest for supporting this piece, which I hope will shed light on the issue.

A few weeks ago, I wrote a piece for @_inquest_, a publication by @Harvard_Law's @endmassinc_org, about older incarcerated people in New York and how activists + local politicians are trying to provide pathways for release and redemption.

When released, older incarcerated people have incredibly low recidivism rates—yet are still routinely denied parole and clemency. Organizers in New York are trying to change that.

I had the pleasure of writing this story for @bethejuggernaut a few years ago: an examination of Jhumpa Lahiri, "the most synonymous name with Indian American immigrant fiction, a genre she helped define and elevate.".

For @mashable, I wrote about @ZohranKMamdani and his social media prowess. As I say in the article, Mamdani's success isn't just because of (several) viral TikTok videos. The Internet and young voters have backed him for a reason 🗳️.
