A timely conversation today with Mina Kim of @kqedforum about "Strangers in the Land." We talked about the question of, Who gets to be an American; birthright citizenship; and how progress does not proceed in a straight line. kqed.org/forum/20101019…

With great pleasure I invite you to the conversation I'll be having on June 10 with ⁦Michael Luo⁩, the author of STRANGERS IN THE LAND. This is an extremely important book published at an important moment. Link to register: bit.ly/3HfMl67 ⁦Doubleday⁩

Join Radhika Jones and I on Wednesday, May 21st, The New York Historical for a timely conversation about Strangers in the Land! This is my final, in-person event in New York. I'm really looking forward to this one. nyhistory.org/programs/stran…

I wrote about the long-running story of inclusion and exclusion in America’s family of citizens and reflect on the nature of political courage. newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…

“There is perhaps no more accurate encapsulation of a country’s values than whom it is willing to include in its citizenry.” Michael Luo examines the history of one of the country’s longest running struggles. nyer.cm/ZcMkDbj

“Today, the Trump Administration’s theatre of cruelty toward immigrants can be traced to any number of root causes,” Michael Luo writes. “But the autocrat’s project is ultimately about consolidation of power.” nyer.cm/Vt2b2Zk

Laughed out loud at the comedy (and tragedy) from Vinson Cunningham. "I wish I could spend my first beach day of the year Frisbeeing my godforsaken laptop...off the edge of the Jersey shore and into the ocean. This is what it’s like to root for the Knicks." newyorker.com/culture/on-tel…

Truly riveting read by Barbara Demick. “Does this mean he has been searching for me?” Mia asked. “He has been. Desperately.” newyorker.com/news/american-…

What a loss. Thoughtful, sensitively-reported piece by Emma Green on Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky. The killer "spoke in the language of anti-Zionism, but he acted with the logic of antisemitism." newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…

CHAMPIONS!

I wrote about one of my favorite tennis players, who played his first French Open 20 years ago, and who still makes magic. Alex Monfils! newyorker.com/sports/sportin…

Still alive!

For anyone awake on this Memorial Day morning, looking forward to chatting with Jonathan Lemire Ali Vitali!

Really, really sad to see this news. It was such a privilege to work with Tom Robbins, Michael Schwirtz, and Mike Winerip on reporting that was a finalist for The Pulitzer Prizes and also on some pieces for @newyorker. Rest in power, Tom. nytimes.com/2025/05/28/bus…

This Sunday at 4 PM ET on CSPAN 2 Michael Luo chronicles the experience of the Chinese in America.

Grateful for this latest review of "Strangers in the Land" in @wsj. "Michael Luo’s important study reminds us that without such indemnities, any group—but particularly the most vulnerable among us—could find itself excluded or expelled." wsj.com/arts-culture/b…

Ever heard of Qian Xuesen, a Chinese rocket scientist at CalTech and MIT in the 1940s and 50s? He's a cautionary tale. Kathleen Kingsbury, who is working on a biography of him (!), explains. nytimes.com/2025/05/30/opi…
