New edition of my second novel. Thank you, Tor. It is about the dangers of a hesitant leadership in a revolutionary epoch. (In all honesty, I think it's terribly flawed; but writing it taught me a hell of a lot. So to speak.) us.macmillan.com/books/97812503…
The US Constitution protects the "RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE PEACEABLY TO ASSEMBLE." That's the "SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND." The conduct of the police, as well as all state and federal officials ratifying that conduct from top to bottom, is completely illegal and unconstitutional.

If you've been shocked by the lies and propaganda your government and your media have been churning out about Gaza, it would probably be a good idea to take another look at what they've been telling you about Ukraine too. And Russia, China, Iran and Syria while you're at it.
For no reason I can think of, it suddenly popped into my head that I remember Walter Cronkite delivering the news that we had received the first ever pictures of the far side of the moon. A) I'm old. B) #science C) Just, wow.
This question points to something important: I don't think it has to get worse for people to decide they've had enough; it's quite bad enough now. What's missing is the consciousness that's there's a way out, a way forward. WSWS.org

So much this!
Biden proclaimed it "a good day for world peace" when he signed the World War 3 bill which will pour weapons of death and destruction into Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan. This is the inverted reality the US-centralized empire premises its narratives about itself upon. Pure madness.
When the decay and breakdown of a social system has reached the point where it looks like insanity to the eyes of common sense, common sense explanations and solutions become insane.
I'll be doing a book signing here in Minneapolis at 1PM Saturday at Uncle Hugo's Bookstore.
Reflecting: In 2009, when I started on Twitter, I was utterly isolated politically--it was lonely, let me tell you. Now my feed and timeline are full, not only of comrades, but of people earnestly searching for genuine left wing solutions. #CauseForHope
This one can be tricky. Here are my rules for my friends: 1) You do not have to buy my book 2) You do not have to read my book 3) You do not have to like my book 4) But, if you read it, and you do not like it, don't tell me.

This does seem to nail it. I can only add that "isn't supported" and "sees as human" have everything to do with US Geopolitical interests and profit, and nothing else.

@StevenBrust It was my first Brust. I reread it often. I love that book. It has aged well. I still chuckle at, "Get thee behind me, Satan".
@StevenBrust Terribly flawed??? Beezlebub was a golden retriever and spoke shakespearean english and said "get the behind me Lord" to Satan! IT'S THE BEST BOOK EVERRRRRR how is that possibly someone's second novel? It's too good!
@StevenBrust It’s a really fun premise with some great characters. I love it!
@StevenBrust This book made an argument for always seeing both sides of a story. I enjoyed it and it’s been quite awhile so a good reminder to read it again.
@VenturCommunist The dizzying array of opportunist splits unfortunately has that effect. Sell outs to imperialism and Stalinism have sowed much confusion, but the revolutionary internationalism of Trotsky and the spirit of Permanent Revolution caries on
@StevenBrust elysian.press/p/no-one-buys-… Might be interested in this. Takeaway: only 35% of titles are profitable, and top 4% of those drive 60% of profitability. Publishing under capitalism…

@StevenBrust As a wise party comrade imparted to me a decade ago: the working class doesn’t necessarily need to be brought to their knees to revolt. The French worker was held up as a primary example in ‘68 who’d never had so much money in their pocket. Vietnam was the decisive factor.
@StevenBrust That was before my time and I envy you for seeing what I believe were the defining moments in history.
Howard Zinn knew. The more things change the more they stay the same. #Gaza
What kind of piece of shit even wants to be a cop?
If you've been shocked by the lies and propaganda your government and your media have been churning out about Gaza, it would probably be a good idea to take another look at what they've been telling you about Ukraine too. And Russia, China, Iran and Syria while you're at it.
@StevenBrust My uncle directed Cronkite, including that broadcast. Cronkite was as wonderful in person as you’d hope he’d be. He played chess with me at a party at my uncle’s. His voice in person gave me chills … the good kind.
