Itβ€˜s a deceptively simple initial story, so easy to read that you are almost unaware of the very serious issues involved. I don’t think I’ve ever read a Martha Wells book I didn’t enjoy.

Frey: "In Mpls, we heard them say they'll end this siege when we hand over voter rolls. The DOJ is being used as a weapon. They're investigating me and several other local elected officials not because we've done something wrong because we speak on behalf of our constituents.

Liam is in ICE custody and his health is deteriorating.

Joaquin Castro says Liam is depressed, lethargic, sleeping excessively and barely eating, repeatedly asking about his mom, and when he can go home. He’s withdrawn and not the bright preschooler he was just days ago.

LIAM NEEDS A DOCTOR

I will start book 5 tonight. Rereading the first one was a struggle until about halfway through and then I didn’t want to put it down - just like the first time around. I love a series that develops more and more context as you go on. Murderbot is like that as well. πŸ––

An ICE agent attempted to enter the Ecuadorian Consulate in Minneapolis, threatening the staff member who prevented him from entering.

Hello? ICE is so out of control that its agents think they can break international law.

Congress needs to rein them in yesterday.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

This is one I’ve thought about every year at Thanksgiving time since I first saw it decades back. Funny and brutal- just brilliant.
