This thing about writing about what I write about is that any real life event that you might use as a news hook to promote my books is so awful that it would feel ghoulish. All I’ll say is, I turned in the second draft last week, before all this

FIrst off, none of these fascists are going to resign on their own nor will they be asked to, so seems like the oppostion party should be impeaching people and not voting with R's on their bullshit. Secondly, you voted to thank ICE this week! bsky.app/profile/jona...

They are extremely clear about the fact that they consider themselves to be at war with you. They do not equivocate about it. It's their stated policy.

My favourite one like this is Don Henley getting Brian to autograph a copy of Pet Sounds. Brian signed it "thanks for all the great music" then thought for a second, crossed out "great", and wrote "good"

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

A genius, pure and simple. Farewell, Brian Wilson.

This captures a contradiction at the heart of this country: when rich white men perpetrate violence, which the founders of this country quite noticeably did, it somehow isn’t labeled as violence. Newsome wouldn’t understand the irony of his statement if you explained it to him with crayons.

Newsom is doing what almost every Democrat in the country is afraid to do right now and he is going to reap all the rewards if they don’t hurry. As a California voter intimately familiar with Newsom’s actual policy bonafides, I am loudly imploring someone else to do that hurrying.

I give local TV a lot of grief but ABC7 has been out there through all of this and reporting very accurately on this.

It’s so much worse this time. It might not be clear if you don’t live in LA, but the supposed “riots” are tiny. They’re nothing like George Floyd in 2020. Protests are happening in a few blocks downtown and as resistance to specific ICE raids. This is 100% pretense for fascist subjugation.

Btw, the way this happens is someone sends you a comms memo with sample tweets that you are supposed to tweak a little and then post. (Source: me, I've written these memos for campaigns before) So they are all getting the same comms memo here, and I'm very curious who is sending the memo

I have been told stories by people who have been pitched ideas to develop that, if they were not the product of AI, were conceived of by executives suffering from a recent untreated head wound.

Travis has already delivered the best critical commentary track I have ever listened to (for AFTER DARK MY SWEET). Really looking forward to see what he does with this.

Regular reminder that the Nazis also started with mass deposition before they got to what Mike Collins is proposing here, which is mass murder.

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller "Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

Good Morning in L.A., where we need a point of clarity. Thus far, National Guard/DHS have restricted activities to entrances to federal buildings. Fed LEOs are not responding to protests beyond that. Marines aren’t on the ground. Most everything is being handled by LAPD.

ICE agents are, shockingly, racist assholes in their free time, too.

I think it’s important to notice why so many Americans believe the criminal group exists: yes the media but also two political parties that kept talking about this criminal imaginary. Two. That appeal to Liz Cheney moderates shit is damaging.
