🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”
In images shared by firefighters from the scene, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection vehicle is parked nearby. Officers wearing
"Police" vests are seen arresting a firefighter, while another appears to be restrained.
According to one of the firefighters, they were denied the chance to say goodbye to the detained crew members.
"I asked them if his (family) can say goodbye to him because they're family, and they're just ripping them away," the firefighter told the Times. "And this is what he said: 'You need to get the (expletive) out of here. I'm gonna make you leave.'"

My new open-access article in International Political Sociology is about “visual politics”, a growing subfield of International Relations. It considers how visual politics is structured to ignore race and racism and why it shouldn’t. academic.oup.com/ips/article/...

If only we had studies on autism and vaccines using nationally-complete healthcare data showing no association between the two. Like, uh, this one from Denmark.

They comprehend neither beauty nor sorrow; understand neither empathy nor compassion, reject complexity and nuance. To create in any medium, to test hypotheses in the lab, to report the empirical reality, to challenge one's own assumptions, to teach others...is to rebel against them.
An image from 2024, autumn, of mainly sky, clouds, shadow and light, and a faint rainbow hanging down 'from the heavens to the ground.' The ground, which is only one-eighth of the vertical rectangular image, appears reddish - brown in the interplay of shadow and light.

Took the little ones to the Los Angeles Zoo this morning and saw this magnificent fellow having a snack right up against the glass. Mixed feelings about such places but he was so captivating.

If you need a break from the news, perhaps the following—as "written" by my three-year-old son and me—will help lighten your mood. Many thanks to the editor, Katherine McDaniel, of Synkroniciti Magazine (Volume 7, no. 1) for including our work. For a copy, see: synkroniciti.com/the-magazine...

Many thanks to Daniel Philpott for reviewing my book. I'm so very grateful for his close reading—and positive review—of my work. And he's right—there is more to be said about the relationship between justice and forgiveness. Something to address next time :) tinyurl.com/mtjb4wm7
