Your regular reminder that I'm not on here much these days. But you can find me on Blu*sky with the same handle! Hope to see you all there...

An American made concentration camp brought to us by @GovRonDeSantis and the current occupant of the White House. Stop using the nonsense name Alligator Alcatraz.
This is what it is.

"It was 1978. I didn’t realize that this was one of those moments, like Waterloo or Watergate, after which nothing would be the same." I wrote about how my family lost everything after joining Amway, and how characters from my childhood reappeared later in the White House.

The Concentration Camps (CCamp) Dataset is finally out at JPR! This started as a research project back in 2019 and became my dissertation. I'm super proud of the work @theBraith and @Dan_E_Solo put into this - I'm looking forward to others finally getting to use these data!

It was an honor to talk to the brilliant @andreapitzer about my upcoming book, There Is No Place for Us, the roots of America’s homelessness crisis, and the *real* solutions—not carceral or punitive ones—that would offer a way out of this disaster.

A riveting tale of Dutch polar explorer William Barents and his three harrowing Arctic expeditions – the last of which resulted in a relentlessly challenging year-long fight for survival.

We're about a month from Trump taking office. And we'll never get this time back.
In this Next Comes What, @andreapitzer looks at examples from around the world and the US when people in much tougher situations found power by responding collectively
