Noticed that my Amazon book sales dropped to nil the week of Thanksgiving (the blackout/boycott period).

Well done, everyone. 💕

However I have a puppy to feed and train, so feel free to buy again (ideally via a non-Amz dealer)

the birthright clause was not just written to wipe dred scott off of the books, it was written to repudiate the *idea* behind dred scott, you might say the larger *ideological project* of dred scott. and the whole of section 1 of the 14th amendment is a constitutional statement of political equality

Some bitch is using my text contacts pretending to be me, promoting this book. I've asked Amazon to take it down as a scam. Please ignore any text from me promoting this, or any book I have not written. Thank you!

I PROMISE you...

people like this guy, specifically, when they do public performative sadism like this?

This guy has incredibly bad/dark shit in his closet.

The kind of stuff that one might be publicly hanged for.

When the Trump regime says the economy is booming, what they mean is that corporations and CEOs are making money. Not that the rest of us are getting anything.

Everytime folks act shocked about the depth of Tom Cotton’s lack of humanity I will remind them he said that BLM protesters should be bombed and the troops sent in.

It was “retracted” but is still up and that’s the perfect metaphor for this moment

Yeah, sorry, dude, but “selecting embryos for genetic advantage” is eugenics. Sorry you missed that memo.

A century ago, the tools available to select embryos for advantage was sterilize or murder undesirables. The tools have advanced. The desires haven’t. Still bad!

I played in the NFL, which, I promise you, has access to healthcare strategies that the average person just doesn’t have, and where cost really isn’t an issue.
