A work of Art, literally. Kudos to Egret Fiction Press On September 16th WRONGLAND will hit the shelves of US bookstores and libraries. Wishing it a very long journey with hopes that it will reach the hands of many of you.

This is playing out already over recess appointments. Bullying the Senate into submission to avoid any questioning of Trump's nominees is fine because he won and it’s legal. Just rename the GOP to "United America" after Putin's "United Russia" if this is the way it’s going to be.
Same with all the constitutional changes that Putin made to cement his power. Why would a dictator bother with laws and elections? They want the argument of "well, everything was done legally so it’s fine". Autocrats adore sham democracy.
"he [@POTUS Biden] still can – and should – take a risk, shift the paradigm, and embrace the possibilities, and the demands, of a new historical moment." @marci_shore, "Shifting the Paradigm in Ukraine" project-syndicate.org/commentary/us-…
Putin steadily reshaped Russia's fragile democracy with the willing aid of the Russian Duma (Congress) and courts who didn’t want to cross him. Power is voluntarily ceded to the president and an autocratic vertical is created. Federal over state power next.
They are literally saying this. Their immediate message was that because of Trump's "huge" victory (not really), he has a mandate to do whatever he wants without checks or balances. But you elect a president, not a dictator. Until you do.
Trump is essentially bypassing the Senate confirmation process. The Republicans are surrendering their power over the process to Trump. Then, the only way to get rid of the people Trump names is to impeach them. Essentially, he wants all power. No checks on it.
I would rather have been wrong.

The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.
It’s a stupid idea for Biden to resign and give Harris the Presidency. Let the first woman President prove that she can win it herself, without a man giving it to her. We will have a female President. It’s just matter of time. Don’t ruin the moment by doing it this way.…
If you stand with Zelensky And if you stand with Ukraine. Like and share this post.
That was a cataclysm. Electoral map wipeout. Senate D practical ceiling is now 52 seats. R's is 62. Time to rebuild the left. We are out of touch with the crisis of meaning/purpose fueling MAGA. We refuse to pick big fights. Our tent is too small. 1/ Some early thoughts:
It's underreported because it's a lie. Sacks continuing his pro-Kremlin lunacy would be merely embarrassing except now this garbage has the ear of the next president's top sponsor.
The most under-reported story in Washington is how much corrupt Ukrainian cash is trying to buy influence. It wasn’t just Hunter Biden. Most of the warmongers are PAID.
again...the night in Kyiv has just begun, and the first 25 russian-iranian large "Shahed" suicide drones are already flying to attack Kyiv City and region. I pray that no one gets hurt.
BREAKING: German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck: "The regulation of algorithms, of X or TikTok, through the application of European legal norms is a central task. We cannot place “democratic discourse” in the hands of @elonmusk or Chinese software”
A wonderful day, especially for those of us on the wrong side of that wall! Unfortunately, when the Wall fell the free world fell asleep. The evil of authoritarianism was wounded but has been gaining strength. We must return to deterrence, values, readiness.
35 years ago today, the Berlin Wall fell, allowing Germany to reunite and dealing a fatal blow to communism in Central and Eastern Europe.
What is even more bitterly under-reported is why certain marketers keep zealously spreading braindead conspiracy theories about Ukraine, the country that's being exterminated in the largest European war of aggression since 1945, and if there's a bit of Russian influence and cash…
