There is a LOT of Cobalt City stuff available, which ties into my Justice/Vengeance series. Plus, we’re still in the “undiscovered indie gem” territory, so now is an excellent time to get in on the ground floor.

For no particular reason, my book Cobalt City: RESISTANCE from 2018, about a country and its superheroes having to decide what they stands for when their government descends into Fascism.

All those people downtown yesterday, no ICE involvement, and not one incident. ICE shows up in a neighborhood and now another Minnesotan is dead. It's pretty obvious who the violent outside agitators are.

Andrea Pitzer, the scholar who wrote an entire history of concentration camps, has been very very clear about how in her literally expert opinion that term is entirely appropriate here
Yep. It's the correct term. That it makes people uncomfortable is more reason to use accurate language.
Concentration Camp: a prison or other facility used for the internment of political prisoners or politically targeted demographics, such as members of national or ethnic minority groups, on the grounds of national security, or for exploitation or punishment.

the video of another person being murdered by the state on the streets of minneapolis shows exactly what people are saying it shows. make your own choices but don’t feel like you are obligated to bear witness to it. reading a description is enough.

If you’re an elected official, talking about reforming ICE should be instantly disqualifying. I don’t want to hear one goddam thing about electoral strategy

My favorite Bob Kane story:
!["Bob had gotten to the point where he never drew anything. Never drew anything on the Batman comics, anyway. [Sheldon] Moldoff was ghosting them all and when he didn't, someone else did.
The only thing I think Bob ever drew was when we'd be out somewhere, in a restaurant or someplace, and a pretty girl would come over to him and say, 'Are you really the man who draws Batman?' Then he could whip out a little sketch for her, a big sketch if she was wearing something low-cut and would bend over to watch him draw.
One day I'm over at his house to discuss this newspaper strip idea we had and he's talking about who we might get to draw it. I was going to write it and we were going to get someone else to draw it. I'm not sure what Bob was going to do on it except sign his name. I said to him, 'Bob, isn't it disappointing to you that you don't draw any more? You were once such a great artist.' He wasn't but you had to talk to Bob that way.
He said, 'Oh, no. Let me show you something.' He took me into a little room in his house. It was his studio. I didn't even know he still had a studio. It was all set up with easels and things and there were paintings, paintings of clowns.
