About Me

I'm a staff writer at the Philadelphia City Paper.

My opinion at The Guardian's Comment Is Free.

I'm a contributing writer at Salon, and my work frequently appears in AlterNet.


I write about politics in the U.S. in general and Philadelphia in particular, media, education, race, class, law and criminal justice, urban/metropolitan issues, sexuality, immigration and other topics.
