Library book haul.
I love that you can just... Walk into a library and pick up 30 books and just... Walk out.
That's civilization, right there.

JUST IN: Judge Mehta rules that Trump/Russ Vought's termination of environmental grants during the shutdown — targeted solely at states that voted for Kamala Harris — violated the 5th Amendment's Equal Protection clause and orders them restored.

It's not a loophole; it's a four-decade-long series of #SCOTUS decisions paring back the remedies that previously existed:

Bonus 182: Damages as a (Missing) Deterrent
It's worth reflecting on how different things might look right now if federal officers—or the federal government itself—faced a meaningful specter of monetary liability for constitutional violations.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

Venezuela and Chickens Coming Home to Roost
I woke up at some ridiculously early morning hour on Saturday, on the third day of the new year, only to read that the United States had kidnapped Nicolas Maduro and his wife.

A young man after a reading at the Strand told me he'd read my first novel aloud, alone, in a friend's house, and that after he'd finished, he felt ready to have his first real relationship. It was one of the most overwhelming and also moving compliments, honestly. I hope he's doing great.
Forget insults, what’s the most unhinged *compliment* you’ve ever received?

White men are 30% of the US and if they look around the room and see it’s less than 90% white men they think it’s affirmative action.
85% of CEOs are white men.
All but one US President has been a white man.
65% of all elected offices are held by white men.
Roughly 30% of the population is white men.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS TOPIC EVEN???

They booked a bunch of 14 year old models to come to a Mar A Lago party, told them to dress sexy and tried to ply them with alcohol.

Writing two books at the same time. One an MG and one is an adult fantasy and I keep accidentally clicking into the MG and writing parts of the adult fantasy and then I go uh oh. So these books are turning out to be very avant garde.
