Dominic at his graduation over the summer and with his girlfriend SuJin. They are adorable.

Good thread.

Comments on the epidemic of settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank from a retired Israeli Army general as quoted in the Washington Post.

I hope you join what promises to be a fascinating conversation.

Deeply disturbing.

A reminder: you can hear us talk about our new book, "The Purifying Knife: The Troubling History of Eugenics in Texas" this Wednesday, November 19, at the Collin College McKinney, Texas campus at 2400 Community Drive from 6-7 p.m. CST.

Betsy Friauf and I will be talking about our book, "The Purifying Knife: The Troubling History of Eugenics in Texas" at 6 p.m., Wednesday, November 19 at the Collin College campus in McKinney. We'll be in the Conference Center, Room F120A. We hope we see you there.

I'm with my co-author @betsyfriauf.bsky.social at a book signing following my talk about our new book "The Purifying Knife: The Troubling History of Eugenics in Texas" a UT Arlington October 9. This was one of our favorite events during our book tour.

Proud to have appeared in & to have consulted for the excellent public television series, "Recovering the Stories: Exploring History and Resilience in Dallas Communities." Produced by Jerry Hawkins, the series won a Lone Star Emmy yesterday. www.pbs.org/show/recover...

Higher education is completely dead in Texas.

The Clinton-Gingrich collaboration of that decade created much of the hellscape we live in how.

Censorship, Neo-McCarthyism, racism & anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry as public policy marches on in Texas. This will prompt even more of a brain drain. Texas Republicans are determined to destroy colleges and universities like they are dismantling public schools. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

The list of millionaires who can honk is shrinking.

I'm looking forward to this event.

My co-author @betsyfriauf.bsky.social at the rally in Austin Monday for Tom Alter, railroaded out of his job for unconstitutional reasons, by Texas State University.

I see no lies.

Yep. For absolutely nothing.

The Senate Democrats are so cowardly you’d think they were college and university presidents.

I’m going to vote for this guy.

The Democratic Party tonight adopted a new logo.

Yep. Fuck Schumer and the “moderates.”

As Jon Stewart said, Chuck Schumer is the human equivalent of a flat tire.

Trump was having a bad week then the Democrats came to the rescue.

I’m voting for this guy.

There was no point. Jeffries and Schumer had no plan. They are dull, incompetent, and corrupt and Democratic voters own this for not primarying them into involuntary retirement.

Fire Schumer.

Chuck Schumer is really going to kick the ball this time.

Portrait of the young, ineffective dweeb as a young man. If I were a conspiracy theorist, I’d think Schumer and Jeffries were so cosmically bad at their job because they are GOP moles.

We should have anticipated that Democrats would piss away the momentum from the No Kings rallies and the elections and immediately surrender while getting nothing in return. Seriously, fuck them.

Thanks for including the podcast series @stevanzetti.bsky.social and I did on lethal injection on the thread, @americanstudier.bsky.social

@betsyfriauf.bsky.social and I had a nice lunch Friday with Emmy-winner Leigh Stieglitz Morales, the longtime auteur behind “True Life” on MTV. She recently moved to Dallas and wants to learn about the city.

The Supreme Court says that just because they force women to give birth that doesn’t imply any obligation to feed the children who result.

To quote Apocalypse Now: “The horror. The horror.”

Give a listen to the conclusion of our mini-series on lethal injection and the story of a priest who accompanies condemned men to the execution chamber.

Thank you. It’s an important discussion many want to avoid.

I hope someone is writing "12 Hangry Men" about the sandwich guy jury

The last episode of a series on lethal injection I recorded w/ journalist @stevanzetti.bsky.social for "It Could Happen Here." In this episode we talk with the victim of a hate crime in Dallas who later fought to stop his assailant's execution. www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...

In this episode we hear from an eyewitness to the world’s first lethal injection and why such supposedly painless executions so often go so wrong.

We have something to look forward to.

Strange, isn’t it?

In Part 2 of our mini-series on lethal injection for the podcast "It Could Happen Here," @stevanzetti.bsky.social and I talk to longtime reporter Dick J. Reavis who witnessed the world's first execution by that method & discuss why lethal injections often go wrong. www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...

Rupert Murdoch seems upset.

The New York Times deeply sucks on so many issues.

Let’s hope so.

Part One of my mini-series with @stevanzetti.bsky.social on lethal injection and the futile quest for painless executions, "The Shady Business of State Killing," for the podcast "It Could Happen Here." @betsyfriauf.bsky.social www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...

A great review of our book in the independent student newspaper at the University of Texas at Dallas. The Retrograde. "'The Purifying Knife' is passionate, macabre and a book you will find yourself going back to over and over again . . . retrogradenews.com/2025/11/03/r... @oupress.bsky.social

Peter Theil having a moment.

Thank you @americanstudier.bsky.social for including my appearance with @betsyfriauf.bsky.social on the Green and Red Podcast.

Great observation.

This is correct.
