"Being an American is about eating a bunch of shit you don't like" is a pretty good summation of what JD thinks of the electorate

Thanks so much for your interest. So the only way to get a copy atm is to DM me your address and Venmo $15. I learned the hard way that the link to my original publisher @politicsprose.bsky.social, though active, will not actually result in you getting a book.

Hey, thank you for doing this! My novel, Sushi In Ramallah, is not in stores atm but if anyone wants to read about a trip to Israel/Palestine gone comedically awry lmk via a DM/Venmo situation and I can send out.

People in late 2025 love turning on the television and seeing Jeffrey Epstein's old attorney talk about how all pierogi vendors should be classified as FTOs.

This editorial makes sense when you realize Will Lewis' ideal newspaper is one that has a primary use of wrapping fried cod

All of this is actually the Democrats' fault for not realizing American fascism was conditional upon a guy wearing a tan suit.

Israel has held 16-year-old American, Mohammed Ibrahim, without trial, for 9 months.

He has been denied contact with family & his health is deteriorating. He says he falsely confessed to throwing a rock after being beaten.

America needs to secure his release NOW.

I knew that Mamdani had it; he had the people and did the work, and has been the clearest and most lucid in rejecting the untenable current state of things. But the vile, bigoted shit against him was so constant, and I am conditioned to that working better than I want. This feels like an exorcism.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Screenshot of Jonathan Greenblatt's tweet says "This is far from the first time. Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes both have been spewing hatred explicitly or subtly spreading it for years. None of it is acceptable. However, credit to @KevinRobertsTX for stepping forward today and issuing a clear, cogent takedown of the toxic antisemitism and venomous racism expressed by Fuentes. It was clarifying and crucial to hear firsthand that @heritage has zero tolerance for this kind of poison." It's a quote tweet of the A D L's tweet, which says "For years, we have catalogued Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes’ antisemitic rhetoric and admonished those who would seek to legitimize them.

We do not join Jonathan Greenblatt in thanking the Heritage Foundation's President Kevin Roberts for trying to have it both ways.

You can’t condemn antisemitism and not condemn those ushering it into the mainstream.
