i am at the point where i think the next D who wants to be president needs to kick the shit out of these people, rhetorically; because they simply will not shut up and go away, for one thing, and because Biden is an incredibly unpopular figure and separating from him will pay dividends, for another

I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.
