If you believe the poor are to blame for their condition, you believe Americans are morally weaker than most people. If you believe evil causes gun violence, you believe Americans are more evil than other people. Except the people who believe the first parts don’t want to hear the second parts.

February is #BlackHistoryMonth, which means the neo-Confederates will be out in full force pushing the Lost Cause myth that thousands of enslaved men fought as soldiers in the Confederate army. Don't fall for it. 🗃️ uncpress.org/book/9781469...

My mentions are filled with people insisting Senate Democrats are powerless. They’re not. They can throw up roadblocks by denying unanimous consent, forcing quorum calls, using holds and filibusters, etc It’s so easy to figure out even a dimwit like Tuberville managed to pull it off.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

I delivered my book, #AmericanBacon, today to @ugapress.bsky.social. I know it’s not the last time I’ll see it with copy edits and then page proofs, but wow, what a feeling of excitement and fear. After five years, two rounds of peer review, 110,770 words in 1,694 paragraphs, I guess that’s that.

It would be fun to chart the times when the Graham story shows up in pop culture (this has now run in the Daily Mail and NY Post in the last few days). It IS kind of interesting to see this show up now when the Graham Cracker itself was first marketed in the Gilded Age. nypost.com/2024/12/30/l...

I’m getting back to work today but capping it off with the rest of this book and a sidecar. Also, this book makes much more sense than a world in which white men “rawdog” their flights to invite pain amid otherwise safe and comfortable lives. What about the people who don’t need to invite pain?

Library purchases are purchases. They pay the press. The press counts them towards advances and royalties. And (gasp) the book is in a library!! It’s wonderful and no one should ever feel bad about getting a book through a library instead of buying it.
