My poem, "The Last Man on Mars", is now live at The Brazen Head. A dystopian take on Mars colonization, partly inspired by Kelly and @zachweinersmith.bsky.social's "A City on Mars".

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

My thought of the Qatari jet is that the moment Trump is out of office, the net president ought to seize it and sell it on the grounds that based on the emoluments clause, it could never have been a gift to Trump personally and so must have been a gift to the federal government.

Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?
🧵
NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.
Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.
Fascism again.
