This may have been my most influential #writing year.
I published 20 articles on the #epistemology of writing —examining how the #Socratic, #Narrative, and #Thermodynamic dimensions of thought shape craft & sharpen thinking.
I did most of that work on #Facebook. They removed me from the platform.

I wish we devoted as much money to solving environmental challenges as we do trying to dominate the people we are going to let die when natural forces catch up to us.
We need reservoirs and windmills and a solar panel on every home, car, doghouse or outhouse.
We will be fighting over the ruins.

Our reporting has found that ICE sent 600 immigrant kids to detention in federal shelters in 2025.
A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf.

Independent autopsy of Renee Good is in. It's strong evidence against Agent Ross, given what it means about the second or third shot through the left-side window.
It's the second and third shots that make the easiest criminal case of a willful killing.

The fundamental problem here is not one of bad apples. This is what the agency is designed to do. The barrel is bad to start with.
This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

I keep thinking about the number of people that have to be involved to kidnap a small child, transport him to one facility or another, then an airport, then a plane, then another facility. Did no one on that chain stop and say hey what the fuck?
