With a heavy heart, I have to tell you that after a long battle with cancer my husband Kevin Drum passed away on Friday, March 7, 2025.
No public memorial services are planned.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the charity or political cause of your choice.
A Facebook page, 'In Memory of Kevin Drum', has been created as a place for friends and family to share memories of Kevin. I encourage you to post your thoughts and memories there.
Thank you to all the wonderful blog readers who supported, encouraged and challenged him through the years.
He will be greatly missed.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Kevin’s writing meant more to me than I can put into words. His level-headedness kept me sane through some of our very darkest times.
NYT has an obituary for Kevin: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/14/us/kevin-drum-dead.html
Column about Kevin at the Washington Post.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry
A goodbye from Mother Jones:

In this story they quoted a portion of a post I put on Jabberwocking regarding Kevin.
I am embarrassed, chagrined, proud(?) to have posted something that struck a cord with another reader
But I'd give that all away to have Kevin back with us.
His insightfulness - written without a hint of moral superiority made me feel right at home here
I do wish we can find someplace for all of us to stay in touch.
