Everyone please diligently check your candy this year. I cracked open a snickers bar and not only did I find a copper ingot, but it was of poor quality.
Worse still, when my man Nanni confronted my neighbor about it, he was treated with disdain.

The party that hid racism and misogyny behind “state’s rights” for decades now has control of every branch of the federal government. They’re waging war on states in the name of racism and misogyny and laughing at the whole idea of state’s rights.

Got a COVID shot today because:
1. Book tour starts tomorrow and then I have events all through November;
2. Fuck RFK Jr, that worm-piloted pleather ballbag of pestilence and stupidity.
Get your COVID shots, folks (allowing for previous vaccine schedules and/or recent infection).

This will not happen. It has never historically happened for long periods, nor with policies like these (and yes, they have been tried before, if not by the US, then by the existing hegemony). When this fails, there will be lies. Then there will be witch hunts.
