I’m a lucky man. My new book, *Freedom Ship* (May 2025) has received generous blurbs from Ed Baptist, Angela Y. Davis, Drew Faust, Eric Foner, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Amitav Ghosh, Adam Hochschild, Robin D.G. Kelley, and Naomi Wallace.

I read this book at 12 years old. Used my dad's flash light at night and read it in 2 days. I lived in the Chicago area at the time during the beginning of the race riots. Sad to say, that there was so much injustice back then as there is now.

Soon to be Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth complained on Fox that veterans who use the benefits they've earned are dependent on the government and lack "personal integrity".

This is what every Vet who wore their MAGA hats to the VA hospital voted for.

Do yourself a favor and get a public library card‼️
Then sign up for an app called Libby where you can borrow thousands of audiobooks!

Your library card supports your local community, while it gives you access to resources and tools to get educated 📖💡

The Skipper had Gilligan. Thelma had Louise. Hulk had Thor.

But does Betelgeuse have a little buddy? Maybe! And it would sure explain a thing or two about the swollen red supergiant.

Is Betelgeuse binary?
The bloated star may have a little buddy, which would explain its odd behavior
