To say it took a LOT to make this book happen is an understatement. But I'm so glad it's finally here.

This is unconscionable. Evil.

But it happened in May 2023, when Biden was president.

So no, we don’t “reform immigration detention,” we destroy ICE, CBP, and DHS. We can’t reform this soul sickness.
Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in government custody.

She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.

We need to reform immigration detention.

Earlier today I was thinking about the tactic of providing people with legal authority to take custody of children when their parents are disappeared, and lo, it is happening.
Some immigrant parents, fearful of their children facing similar uncertainty if they were to be arrested, detained or deported are taking the extreme step of legally transferring parental authority to teachers, co-workers, fellow parishioners and neighbors.
Fearing ICE, parents make plans for their children’s care
Some families give legal authority to others to make key decisions about a child’s life if a parent is detained and deported.

I think it's worth pointing out that part of why the twin cities has a large Hmong population is because of refugee resettlement after the Vietnam war.

They sided with the US.
ICE kidnapped an elderly Hmong man in St. Paul, Minnesota. The temperature was sub-zero, and he was taken only wearing shorts and Crocs, and no shirt. (1/18/26)

Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous, because it will make officers angry and they just tend to snap and kill people, you know
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

NOW WOULD BE A GREAT TIME TO GROW A FUCKING SPINE, MARK CARNEY!
Trump, in a sit down interview on Fox News aired just now, said the US will be conducting land strikes against the cartels.

"We are gonna start now hitting land, with regard to the cartels. The cartels are running Mexico."

Because Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al. we're famously all held accountable 🙃
Anyone alive in 2002-2004 should remember the Pottery Barn theory of regime change: If you break it, you buy it.

Trump and Co. have broken Venezuela.

They own all the consequences that follow.
“.. There is no evidence that anyone on the Trump team has thought about what will happen tomorrow, or next week, or next year ..

“.. we’re not even 24 hours into this .. Decades later, we’re still dealing with the aftermath in Afghanistan and Iraq.”

Canada finally reacts, through our foreign affairs minister (not our prime minister).

Really, embarrassingly timid statement when you consider what just happened.
Please see my statement on the situation in Venezuela:

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Oh yeah so I went and wrote another book!

Kindle out now, audio out December 31.

Print on its way (sooner if you're in Canada)—pre-orders up now.

Mostly just sharing because this image made me giggle at a time that I really needed it.
And from image events, we get POLYSEMIC images that carry multiple forms of ideology into the present. Here, we have the convergence of Shepard Fairey's iconic HOPE poster for the Obama campaign with the frog icon from #NoKings. The is how you visually dismantle fascist iconography.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

Mathematical text analysis confirms what the humans knew: we wrote a whole new book! 😁📚😁 Check out @everickert.bsky.social's thread if you're curious about how different More Than Two, Second Edition is from its predecessor. #morethantwobook #morethantwo
Today I asked ChatGPT to compare the PDFs of More Than Two (2014) and More Than Two, Second Edition (2024) to see how much of the text was actually changed, and whether the answer lined up with my and @andreazanin.bsky.social’s off-the-cuff estimate of ~95%.

“People [in tech jobs] worry that not being seen as uncritical AI cheerleaders will be a career-limiting move…for those who aren't insiders in the tech industry, it's vital that you understand that you've been presented with an extremely distorted view about what tech workers really think about AI”
Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!

Over the last few months I've somehow gotten sucked into watching a bunch of serialized Tudor-era historical drama, and I gotta say, Mary I doesn't get the attention she deserves in fiction about that era. Mary I was the original Anakin Skywalker.
