Two thirds of Americans are not Trump voters

Please note: apparently the Rapture has been scheduled for this Wednesday, the 24th. If you were planning on buying multiple copies of my books to celebrate my birthday on the 25th, you’ll need to get your orders in early.

Never in our history, not even during Watergate, has a single news cycle so comprehensibly established the deep corruption and politicization of the Department of Justice

Nothing is inevitable. In either direction. Hope and work.

genuinely believe that a large number of political, economic and media elites do not realize that nearly half the voting public did not vote for trump

Never forget that it is an active decision by media institutions like the Times and the Post to keep this president’s *severe* mental and moral unfitness out of the headlines and discourse.

They're racists & they're fascists but above all they are the pettiest two-bit criminals you've ever seen

It's important to remember when GOP Reps and Sens are yelling about the 'violent left' that they routinely tell reporters and colleagues how theyre afraid to do this or that because their own supporters routinely threaten violence agains them.

I had the best time bringing up old trauma.

Stacy Davis Gates: "Solidarity is the antidote to white supremacy. Solidarity is the antidote to anti-immigrant fear. Solidarity is the antidote to homophobia and transphobia. Solidarity is the antidote of people not having and still needing. Solidarity is what reunites us."

This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt. Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Hey NYC if you’re around on the 30th @claymcleod.bsky.social and I are gonna be at Twisted Spine to talk all things Broken Dolls. Would love to see you 😍

Don't be chickenshit.

Seriously, y'all. Were it not for a lone lawyer literally banging on the airport doors, these kids would've been stolen. Were it not for Judge Sparkle taking immediate action at 3am on a holiday weekend, they'd have gotten away with it. It didn't take a hero to do the right thing. Just a person.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

An INTENDED result of going after free speech is it scares people into being silent in a moment where we need everyone to be the loudest.

All of these words are true so I think it's very important for all of us to ask WHY people in and with power are agreeing to all of this... What's the most logical answer to that question?

While you still can, if you’re asking “who’s Sinclair?” John Oliver has you covered:

While I got my knuckles rapped by corporate America for being rude and tasteless about a guy who dreamed of the stoning of me and everyone I love, Fox's Brian Kilmeade advocated explicitly for the state murder of all homeless people -- on live TV, no less -- to virtually no response.

I had zero doubt this was gonna happen 👏👏👏👏👏

Absolute banger of a book - It took so many turns to end on one of the creepiest chapters I've ever read. Kiddo absolutely gave me Gage from 'Pet Sematary' vibes at the end... Thank you @natcassidy.bsky.social for the visceral imagery of Cookie and Kiddo in my bedroom window 🤣 #BookSky 💙📚🩸

I remember arguing with conservatives during the 2016 election season because they insisted Obama’s *beer summit* proved he was trying to divide us by race.

"They're politicians, what are they supposed to do? Literally fight in the streets?" Unashamed to say this made me cry.

ok fuck it my top ten Tom Waits albums: 1. Rain Dogs 2. One from the Heart 3. Blood Money 4. Heart of Saturday Night 5. Blue Valentine 6. Mule Variations 7. Alice 8. Heart Attack & Vine 9. Swordfishtrombone 10. Franks Wild Years 11. Black Rider + Nighthawks (tie)

What if Sean Connery’s actual name was “Sawn” and he just couldn’t tell us?

W-O-W. "The Unfortunate Convalescence of the SuperLawyer" by @natcassidy.bsky.social in The End of the World As We Know It was so amazing. I dare not say why or anything about this story other than I really loved it. Every second. whew. Wow.

Excuse me @natcassidy.bsky.social, how dare you remind me of the unsettling nature of Judge Doom! Even now at 33, Christpher Lloyd's performance still gives me the creeps 😂🐺 #BookSky #NatCassidy 💙📚🩸

Tomorrow night, we’re bringing midwestern gothic to Queens! I’ll be chatting with author Kailee Pedersen about her novel SACRIFICIAL ANIMALS at The World’s Borough Bookshop. Tuesday, September 16th at 7 pm. Hope you can make it. Register here: bit.ly/4n7UI3Y @kaileepedersen.bsky.social

I mean this as the highest compliment: there were moments during THE LONG WALK where I *wished* it wasn’t the R-rated adaptation I’d hoped it would be. I’m SO glad they didn’t shy away from anything—but also they did the characters so well that each moment of violence was the opposite of welcome. 👍👍

This, to me, really gets to the root of why we’re currently where we’re at—and why so many disengaged people think both sides are equally radical and bad.

Fight off the Sunday Scaries with some … Sunday Scaries!! If you’re seeing this on Sunday, September 14th, and you don’t already have an e-copy of my bestselling novel, WHEN THE WOLF COMES HOME, e-pounce, my e-friends! Wherever e-books are sold! Eeee!

This is a great thread for those who aren’t Terminally Online like the rest of us

We created a “Lying to Angry, Aging White People” TV station and now we can’t have progress.

there is something so disorienting about living in a world with miraculous progress in all kinds of stuff, including an Industrial Revolution-scale transformation of industry and energy, while US politics is *consumed* with the dumbest, most pointlessly awful shit imaginable bsky.app/profile/ryan...

It’s #FridayReads time! Let’s boost all signals. Repost this and let us know what to repost for you. Latinx Heritage Month starts in three days, so here’s the perfect read for you. Come find out what makes the racists so angry… www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316... bookshop.org/p/books/hous...

Don’t worry it’s coming any minute now

the permission structure created for a bloodthirsty maga rampage the last two days by mainstream media, all before any facts were known at all, deserves some real introspection by the entire industry

X is wild because you can post a link to a NYT feature story on this and no one will see it, but cuntycakes123 can make a post summarizing the main bullet points with no attribution and it will go viral and everyone will be like "OMG why isn't the media covering this?!?"
