How bleak is it that the *best case scenario* is that he is just engaging in his most ambitious bit of market manipulation yet and will call it off ("we have reached a great deal, a tremendous deal, to save Iran") at 4:30 pm after shorting everything and watching the market tank

Today is the Indianapolis indie book crawl and my tradition is to ask followers to send me money so I can go shopping and giveaway my favorite books to the people in my community. Got a pretty quick response, and here’s some of what Ive left for people…

I think what I’m stuck on with watching Trump bomb Iran and immediately jump on social media to say the war is over and we won is that Trump believes he controls reality. Whatever he thinks is the sheer totality of how existence works for him. 1/?

You dont need a team of analysts to say the countries carpet bombing Iran are responsible for the bombing. This is not a standard used for Russia or Iran, it’s a standard invented on Oct 17 2023 after the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital bombing and the ADL’s crybully campaign, it’s reserved only for Israel/US

I’ve recommended this book a lot over the past year, and I think for the people constantly asking the question “how did average people become nazis” this is answering that question through the American century. Home grown, small town zealotry masked in conservative values about protecting families

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college: 1. Europe from 1929-1939 2. Irish Lit 3. Tech ethics 4. US Colonial History (thesis class) 5. Advanced creative writing - even though that was a decade ago, it really helped me decide doing my MFA now would be worth it

The Melania documentary utterly bombing is making me a little hopeful that the cult of Trump will die when his heart gives out (soonish?). But in dying out, could it change into something else that’s even more stupid? Possibly, yes, but not dumb enough to ascend Don Jr or Erik probably

It's obviously good that citizens with smartphones can create multiple records of these shootings and undercut propaganda and government lies about them. But I find it a little deranging that being an informed news consumer in 2026 requires watching what are essentially snuff videos in slow-mo.

My take on the Jan 23 action in Minneapolis is that I don’t really care whether it’s a “true” general strike (we could argue about that all day). What DOES matter is that it’s a bold and necessary escalation, and local labor leaders are publicly encouraging workers to join in anti-ICE resistance

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods

I still think about Confessions of an Economic Hit Man constantly. Even if you don’t think it’s a totally honest personal story, the reality of the US is that we are an unfathomably violent empire. There is almost no way to be hyperbolic about destructive our capitalist order has been for the world

I literally do not have a single photo from 2016. Not even a screenshot. I’ve been doing some timeline plotting for my book and it’s strange to have my life feel like there’s a year that didn’t exist, a whole calendar year lost to the unrealities of my mind.

Has anyone written up something specific on why Minneapolis has been chosen for Trumps full force siege? Maybe not a singular thing- Is it the city’s immigration or population, its history of voting dem, Trump’s big swing state miss, or the embarrassment of watching a precinct burn in 2020?
