Finally up: Museum of Degenerates book launch from Feb 26: A history of art, caricature, "degeneration," underexplored roots of Zionism—plus GOP Nazism, Democratic treachery, and the catastrophe they’ve ushered in:

Very sorry to learn that Martin Cruz Smith, author of the incomparable Arkady Renko series, has died. My deepest condolences to his family, including @luisacruz.bsky.social.
His final book, HOTEL UKRAINE, was published earlier this month and was a fitting send-off to the series.

Ruth López is a fearless defender of human rights & has been, for me & many others, a source of insight & moral clarity on the long list of abuses perpetrated by the Salvadoran govt. Her arrest (on highly dubious charges) is a patent demonstration of how Bukele operates: target, silence, intimidate.
