YOU - “So I should just... just... get a hat and FUCK it, right?!” (Point at your head, where the hat should be.) “Engage in sexual intercourse with a hat right here in front of you, because you told me so? On the SEA ICE?!”

It is amazing to me that Dems are pressured to water down their messaging in order to avoid alienating 'centrists,' but Republicans can round up and deport sobbing children without fear of alienating 'centrists.' Says a lot about what we mean when we say 'centrists'

the way democracy works now is that we keep voting for people to whack us in the nuts with bigger and bigger hammers. occasionally we vote for someone who says they’ll use smaller hammers, but guess what? bigger hammers

this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people

I agree with the two main points of Sinners: 1. Racism is a cancer that will snuff out every bit of joy you attempt to build. 2. Never let the perfidious Irish in your house.

The Democrats are too fucking old and I don’t just mean the calendar age of so many in leadership. The party’s approach to how to be a party is fucking old. It’s like they upgraded in 1992 and have barely done anything since. It’s a party that listens to Carville and Axelrod. That’s a problem.

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

In the era of social media, the fact that left-liberal/center-left people find it infinately more interesting to debate each other than they do to engage conservatives is, I think, objectively, very detrimental to our democracy. I don't know how we change this. I'm also guilty of it. It is a problem

“what would you have done?” is no longer a hypothetical thought exercise. if you’re not doing anything, there’s your answer.

Mass, relentless public protest is all there is. Every other mechanism for stopping despotism has failed. There's a reason that so many state constitutions include the phrase "All political power is inherent in the people"

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

No guys, leftist infighting is a huge problem. I was just told to "shut the fuck up" for saying we should strategically sacrifice minorities. It's like we're not even on the same page

LE MONDE asked me to write an article about American literature in the age of Trump, but then decided it didn't like what I wrote. Oh well. Here it is in LitHub: "Most American literature is the literature of empire."

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

Just saw a video that in 2021 the UN wanted to make food a human right and the only two countries to vote no were the US and Israel. And of course.
