Was driving my kids to school and the first thing on the radio was reporting about Trump's video depicting the Obamas as apes and I think many people still don't fully appreciate what it means to have to raise Black children in a country where the president is so brazenly and consistently racist

Stumbled upon this satirical song from the 60s called “Your Friendly Liberal Neighborhood KKK” on YouTube.

Performing this song back in the 60s was brave bruh 😭

“And if you don’t like that then call the cops cuz chances are they’re us” 😭😭

Today I wrote about the Epstein files, the abusiveness intrinsic to the billionaire mindset, and our culture's enabling instinct to permit depravity as a privilege of power.

"Where does it all end?" That's what's often asked. Rarely asked is "how do we end it?"

Okay troublemakers, punks, antifa supervillains, and anyone who just enjoys being a petty little shitbird while they fuck up the algorithm of a massive media corp. Here's your assignment for the weekend. Get on it and spread the word.

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

Too late in my life did I realize that Bret "The Hitman" Hart was right all along. America sucks, Vince McMahon should be spat on every day, and pink on black fucking slays.

"I am inviting you to join me in a massive, diffuse, and fledgling national campaign to make our government better by primarying every Democrat. Because if they want to keep these jobs, then they should have to fight us for them. They should learn to fight for something."
New from me in @newrepublic.com: “Primary Every Democrat.”

If the current crop cannot demonstrate they care more about democracy than enjoying three-day weekends, we should flood the zone and challenge them all.
Primary Every Democrat
It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

Republicans and Nazis only create corpses and lies.
Today I wrote about a good man summarily executed on the streets by Republican death squads, and how, given the inevitable alternatives, even tyrants should hope for a people's liberation from tyranny. www.the-reframe.com/the-shovel-n...

Liberation from tyranny is also liberation for the tyrants.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I feel bad for all of us who have to be good at our jobs when the answer is to be sufficiently white, rich and powerful and then you can just drool on yourself and the press will be like “audiences intrigued by his unusual communication style”

I wrote about how concentration camp regimes evolve and why it's not too late to stop this, even though we are deep in it now.

Reminder that I published a book and it's pretty good and you can also buy signed copies straight from me for $15 (no shipping fee!) if you don't want to support eviler-Lex Luthor and his dick-rockets.

(But you can also get it online in paperback, ebook, and audiobook)

someone asked on insta what “be brave enough to be kind” means and why i say it on my podcast and at screenings

being kind is always a vulnerability - it exposes your belly. love puts us in harm’s way always. we gotta find the courage to risk being hurt. or else i don’t know what the point is.
