Hey media-- Pam Bondi is not a victim -- she willingly carried out Trump's political agenda to prosecute his political enemies and undermine free and fair elections. Todd Blache is not shouldering a "burden" or "walking a tightrope." He is a willing accomplice. Language matters.

“I do not wish to be understood, which no one seems to understand.” This is what’s missing from the book. It is a 300-page meandering navel-gaze. A Joan Didion impression from someone with nothing to say, vaguely offended that readers would *expect* her to have something to say.
In the news, the Politician offers a united front and a rewritten history.
My vow of silence does not feel like enough. I wish to fall silent on my-self, too. I wish to sink into the sea. To flee behind the curve of the earth. To emerge a new shape, a stranger. To stop giving fake names in coffee shops. To never see myself, the character of myself imagined by others, viral allegory of hubris, female avatar of Icarus, stripped and left for dead in a pool of wax. I do not wish to be understood, which no one seems to understand.
Birds of prey circle. It is inconceivable, it seems, that someone would choose to allow a crisis to go to waste, would not want to make of their attention more attention, would not want to reap some kind of short-term profit from the mess of their life.

Okay first of all. You have to pull off a *very particular* kind of style to write a 303-page book with zero chapters. And the unintentional subtext of this book is quite clearly, “Olivia, you are not pulling that off.”
On the steps of the Met, the Politician on the phone. "You didn't do anything wrong," he said. He did not understand how I could be in any kind of professional trouble over a personal relationship. "If we got married, it still wouldn't be wrong," he said. "My aunt married my uncle after she interviewed him." This was different, I said. For one thing, I was not Jacqueline Bouvier and he was not John F. Kennedy.
For another, he was already married, and I had been engaged until several weeks earlier.
Ilooked down at the granite. Cockroaches. Dozens and dozens of them. Crawling everywhere. A parade, a stampede, a rally, a rave. I eyed them curiously. I did not flinch. When your world is falling apart, you wak forward. The cockroach, six legs and six claws, understands this.
Down Fith Ave, across Seventy-First Street, down Lex. Plastered on the glass door of the bodega, a magazine cover with my name on it.
Advertising not my life, not disfigured public narratives about private matters, but my work.
I walked past the place where I was born. It had been a blizzard,

The fact that right-wingers commit the vast bulk of domestic terrorism in the US is well-established by numerous expert investigations & reports. But the right *accuses* the left more often, makes more *noise* about it, so they've bullied reporters into framing this as a "both sides" problem.

Charlie Kirk emboldened hate by cloaking his beliefs as "Christian". Jesus embraced the marginalized. He was the opposite of Kirk. No Charlie should not have been murdered for his rhetoric. But he did embrace hate. And I won't martyr him.
