Who from outside the US would come here now, no less after a few more months of this?

As someone else noted, this would be a damning indictment of Biden.

The LAPD says there was no violence and they had things under control. The National Guard never even made it to their armories no matter clearing the streets. He’s declared victory and thinks he can dictate masks are illegal. This is a 2:41 AM lunatic post.

Less than 45 minutes after President Donald Trump thanked the National Guard "for a job well done!" Mayor Karen Bass clarified on social media "the National Guard has not been deployed in the City of Los Angeles."

Ranked #666? Now I wish we’d had more deviltry in THAT OCTOBER.

At a raw, practical level, they’re just men with guns. Law enforcement is supposed to be different because of law. Because they are supposed to be restrained by warrants and rules and due process and and people’s rights. But once they discard all that, they are, fundamentally, just men with guns.

Can’t shake the thought that having all this matériel in DC and provoking anti-ICE riots in LA, Chicago, and gods-know-where would make a handy little setup for declaring martial law. Meh, it’s probably nothing. 😬

Seriously I can’t imagine more of a “both sides should lose” scenario than a fight between the two worst people on earth. (Discounting the boy wizard creator and Russian and tech oligarchs.) (Okay there’s a lot of competition for that “worst” title, I admit.)

Don’t use AI, even if it’s to make funny pictures or videos castigating awful people. AI destroys writers, artists and the environment.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

Honestly, friends? I need all the help I can boosting my book for pre-order sales for MARYNEAL 1962. I'm donating my portion to The Family Place in honor of my partner, who died last month. TFP helps people escape DV & provides aftercare. All the info: linktr.ee/abigailftaylor #WeeknightWriters

On TCM, they’re about to show A FACE IN THE CROWD, and it’s incredibly prescient to today’s politics. I wrote about it here: crimereads.com/face-in-the-...

I love the arts. My first arts loves were movies and TV and books and then I grew to love music and live theater. Arts lifts us up and entertain us while they’re teaching us. I hate AI because it has an awful impact on the Earth, on writers and readers.
