Thx 2 @ala-booklist.bsky.social for this forthcoming review of my book about the real people behind "Cabaret." "As Fairbanks demonstrates through impressive research, Isherwood mined their lives... to create indelible characters. This complex literary biography ... will fascinate readers..."

Hakeem Jeffries cannot become speaker in 2027. It would be a colossal waste of power and opportunity for Dems to elevate him again. They need to choose someone stronger and preferably isn’t to the right of the vast majority of American voters on healthcare.

I can’t wait for all the people who worse pads on their ears to start wearing bad rugs on their heads to show support for the old man getting his Make a Wish dream of being a dictator.

He had to stop taking Propecia because it interacts with dementia meds. So he took a low profile trip to CA last week to buy what he considers to be a realistic hair piece. (Allegedly)

A lot of places are about to be bombed in a country far away and a good many people killed because Donald Trump cannot make anyone forget or ignore the accusations of what he did with young girls. That is now the foreign policy of the United States.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

The DOJ is more than three weeks late in delivering the Epstein Files. In those three weeks: - Trump declared himself acting President of Venezuela - ICE murdered a woman in Minnesota - Trump is preparing an invasion of a NATO ally - Trump initiated a criminal investigation of Fed Chair Powell

"Only a resuscitation of 19th-century imperial greed ... can explain why President Donald Trump would justify his lightning military strike to capture and remove Venezuela’s plunderer-in-chief with a single motive: oil." @theunpopulist.net open.substack.com/pub/theunpop...

Trump’s Betrayal of Venezuela’s Democracy Movement Is Hard to Overstate
If he continues to snub María Corina Machado, the heroine of the opposition, America will bear responsiblity for the country’s next tragic chapter

So this is actually a good thing and shows they are guilty of a coverup by removing those 16 pages of #EpsteinFiles from the DOJ website that named Trump, today WITH NO EXPLANATION President Nixon enters the chat

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

This policy is the ultimate expression of what is wrong with the last three decades of technocratic liberalism. It hands public money to bad private sector actors. It will win over zero of the reactionary voters it is supposed to mollify. It will massively annoy every other voter in the process.

Any elected Dem who expresses anything more sympathetic than “eat shit in hell you fascist fuck” should be treated with suspicion. If they’re worried about a bad reaction they can stay silent or deflect and talk about working families and the economy or something like they always do on tough issues
