MAGA, whether you intended to or not, you voted for this.

Thrilled to be following (and to be followed by!) literary agent and writer extraordinaire Mark Falkin on Bluesky. This novel, and its predecessor CONTRACT CITY, are fabulous (and timely) reads.

They meant this about terrorists. But considering they are calling students voicing dissent and innocents with autism tattoos terrorists and threatening judges who call them on it, they really mean anyone who gets in their way.

Pray for MAGA. They clearly know not what they do. youtube.com/shorts/bSBI5...

“This is just the beginning of this fascist regime’s terror campaign aimed at deterring refugees, savoring cruelty & silencing dissent. They may call deported migrants ‘the worst of the worst,’ but they’re lusting to widen their net against perceived enemies.” www.americaamerica.news/p/reveling-i...

‪I joined to get the cell phone discount. I've only ever seen the AARP as a corporate lobbying organization. But if they finally want to advocate for their members? Hey, go right ahead. Godspeed. Enjoy that feelgood PR. Good night and good luck.

Utmost respect for journalists like Clara Marchaud who have the courage to report from war zones.

No one wants a fight -- I don't! But if we don't keep fighting, we will lose all we hold dear. I'm not able to participate, but I hope many will be.

This reminded me of something in the news just recently. Hmmm. What was it? 😇

In awe and humbled right now. I will never, ever cease to be amazed by God's designs.

Astonishing. And yet most billionaires would fight tooth and nail to hold on to "their" precious dollars. I've often longed to live a financially comfortable life, but I would never, ever want to be this wealthy, because it clearly does something terrible to the soul.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...
