Imagine your writing career being such a trashfire that now you have to suck up to incels, brownshirts, and dickless Kyle Rittenhouse-looking losers making movies of themselves. I guess it helps being batshit crazy.

The F.B.I., will be investigating the Minneapolis murder, refusing to share evidence or investigative duties with the city or state of Minnesota. By what authority does the federal government usurp the jurisdiction of local and state authorities in a non-federal criminal or possibly criminal case.

This is the way. It must be unwound. The post 9/11 panic of the Bush years, a morass of nationalism, paranoia, and hydra-headed bureaucracy has been disastrously left out like a loaded gun for Trump and his gremlins to find.

Makes my skin crawl. Whenever I hear it, I hear “heimat.”
