Made a whole book intro video but this outtake was better

Every so often someone must wake up and realize that they voted to make a pedophile rapist the most powerful person in the world and he is using that power to steal everything he can and crush every decent person who opposes him. Maybe that’s just too hard to accept so they pretend not to understand

From the forthcoming PATCHWORK by Tom Comitta, out on August 19th. @tomcomitta.bsky.social

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This is correct. We need to treat ICE agents the way that Massachusetts in the 1850s treated slave-catchers. Especially since they're about to quintuple (or so) the number of ICE agents.

Slate reviewed People’s Choice Literature and it’s a rave 😮🥸 slate.com/culture/2025... @slate.com

A few of my fave novels in this fun, thoughtful list: Blood & Guts in High School, Castle Faggot, Reader's Block

Some of my thoughts and recommendations on “extreme fiction” in Electric Literature 🏂

Just a few forthcoming books we're EXTREMELY excited about...(and you should be to) PATCHWORK by Tom Comitta coming 8/19/25 💥 @tomcomitta.bsky.social

I also forgot Bad Lieutenant

Very grateful to be in the Book Review today. Young poet me wouldn’t believe it. Even me two months ago and today doesn’t

So glad you liked it John! Thanks so much :)

Okay yeah this is one of the funniest reading experiences I’ve had in a while. Was laughing out loud on the train at italicized internal thoughts and the use of Ford Fusion. But I also wanna know what happens?

(Thanks @tomcomitta.bsky.social for the laughs/ @dan-sinnamon.bsky.social for sharing)

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Since this is where we’re at, I’d like to submit an alternate nickname to the uninspired “Mediocre Musk”:

Noel Skum

Aka the christmassy anagram for that appears in The Most Unwanted Novel 🤓
