Learning to fall in roller derby taught me how to be me
IN 2018, HOPING THAT THE MOODiness of the trees and mountains might help me discover something about myself, I left Columbus, Ohio, for Portland, Ore. Sometimes I biked to work, and on the first warm day of the year noticed a warehouse by the bike path had its doors open. There was an oval-shaped track inside, where a handful of people on roller skates were running into each other.

A DEADLIER JAN. 6
On Jan. 6, 2021, I was in the Chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives as violent insurrectionists attacked, bent on interrupting Congress in its constitutional responsibilities, and on doing harm to Vice President Mike Pence, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and members of Congress. Reflecting on that dark day, I keep returning to an underlying force fueling the violence: Second Amendment extremism.
