It's profoundly saddening to read that AP will no longer be assigning or running book reviews because readers don't engage with them enough and they take too much effort to plan and assign. People complain about critics as gatekeepers; wait until all that's left is marketing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

So far today I've received 28 pitches for upcoming books. By 28 different publicists representing 28 different authors. There is so little space to cover any of them. Which is why this AI-created and unedited by humans summer reading list is such a slap in the face.

Folks came out in support of Mahmoud Khalil! And a ton of media so we will see how things get covered. I have more photos but these aren’t showing anyone’s face, so these are the ones you get.

A group of protesters two of whom are holding signs calling for the release of Mahmoud Khalil.

A protester holding a sign that says Hands off our students, ICE off of our campus.

There were a bunch of folk holding martyr signs depicting people killed by bombardment. Quite sobering.
