I’m really disheartened that I am living in a Stazi-like regime. 7 months ago, I lived in the U.S.

I didn’t move. Something horrible happened. And now the country I live in is brutal, cruel, mean-spirited, law-flaunting, violent, hateful, militant, anti-education, anti-science, and smells bad.

My new book, Nations Apart, is out Nov. 4 from @vikingbooks.bsky.social, and Kirkus Reviews published this smashing review this week. The pull quote: "A lucid exercise in political geography with tremendous—and disturbing—explanatory power."

Right on.

I'm watching a town hall with a man in his 70s in Iowa saying he was there when we were told computer jobs would replace our manufacturing and other jobs and give us more time off and more money.

In that same time $75 trillion dollars flowed from the working class to the one percent.

They lied.
