This book is extremely good. If you like sci fi with science that works, but character driven, read EDGES. (And then there's more books in the series waiting for you when you're done!)

Buy this book. It's very good! And I guarantee you haven't read a scifi book like it.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

They are hunted. My understanding is it's always open season, but state game areas are far away. Hunting on private land is allowed w/permission, but there are only a small number of large land owners. There is a company, Maui Nui Venison, that hunts w/ (I think) a mobile processing unit.

Last night, ~15 axis deer (non-native) were grazing on the unfenced front of our property and the neighbor's. This invasive-species issue is getting rapidly worse, & as more fences go up, they will be squeezed into smaller areas. Already they have no concern for motion-sensor lights or sound. #Maui

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

Seth Cotlar @sethcotlar.bsky.social · 2d

Guys. I just had a crazy idea. What if the President DIDN’T deploy troops in American cities. Just a thought. Have we tried that before?

And, to be realistic, almost all of the meaningful friction they're experiencing is being undone daily by the Supreme Court.

They are experiencing friction at times, but they keep consistently moving the ball down the field. Which is why I am not especially reassured by the Greek chorus of "he can't do that" every time he announces what he is going to do.

This isn't dooming. Resistance requires a realistic assessment.

The People's Fabric @peoplesfabric.com · 3d

Raiding an entire building and grabbing everyone out of bed late at night is a pretty big escalation. What impact did such an egregious act have on their operations? None, apparently. Some more national attention. But nothing that will deter them from doing it again.

People are assuming I am saying they all need to quit their jobs. I did not say that. That is one option, but not the only one. How about speaking out, publicly on the record?

Everyone should listen to Chris Murphy's extraordinary warning about Trump on our pod. First, he says the logic must be that the more lawless he gets, the stiffer the resistance.

“Authoritarianism is wrong, murder is evil, corruption is awful, the law must be followed, America should not be brought to its knees for Trump’s benefit” - simple principles that somehow we struggle to rally around, because of our paralyzing fear that some silent majority will not approve of them

Because the U.S. Senate delegates votes equally among states and there are more Red States than Blue States even though tens of millions more people live in Blue States.

The U.S. Constitution gives the GOP free votes they didn't earn.

How did the Republicans do so much when they were the party that received fewer votes?

The news today is more than usually horrendous. If you need to #escapereality for a bit, I'm here to tell you that Madeline Miller's beautiful and enthralling novel THE SONG OF ACHILLES is on sale today for just $2.99 (ebook). I've listened to the audiobook multiple times.
