A Son Is Never 27 to His Mother (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes every difference between women simply falls away. Politics falls away. Fame falls away. Wealth, geography, religion, status — all of it becomes meaningless. There is only one mother looking at another mother and thinking the thought none of us can bear to finish: I am the mother of four sons, and perhaps that is why this news did not feel like celebrity news to me. It felt physical. It landed somewhere beneath language, in that ancient place inside every mother where love and fear have
The Government Is Watching You. Who Is Watching the Government? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There was a time when Americans looked at surveillance states elsewhere in the world and recognized them immediately. The government watched the people. The people feared the government. Privacy belonged to those in power, while ordinary citizens learned to live as though someone might always be listening. So when did we decide it was acceptable here?

Mention Tuskegee and most Americans remember one of the darkest chapters in the history of American medicine. The Tuskegee Syphilis Study has become shorthand for government betrayal, but the story is often remembered only in broad strokes. It is taught as though it were a terrible anomaly—a relic from ano
The AI Land Grab (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Whispering before it starts screaming, as far as history is concerned. Most people don't notice it at first. The warning signs appear somewhere else. A town you've never visited. A ranch a thousand miles away. A community meeting that doesn't make national news. By the time everyone else catches on, the decisions have already been made, the contracts have already been signed, and the damage, whatever it may ultimately prove to be—is much harder to undo. Florida is standing at one of those moment
