Today I saw a high level of anger at the massive number of cops that are protecting a Tesla dealership in Chicago. Lots of chants demanding to know why they are protecting Nazis. No one is letting CPD off the hook. This is what cops do - enable and participate in fascism. #Teslatakedown.

A long line of cops in front of the Tesla dealership on 902 N. Rush Street in Chicago, after they made protesters move across the the street. Eventually there were at least 100 CPD officers protecting the dealership which had maybe 2-4 customers tops, from what I could tell. When I arrived at about 2:00 PM, there were about as many cops as protesters. Then people from the Women's Day march joined us and there were hundreds of protesters.

I wrote about the very violent, very public detention of a woman for interrupting a speaker at the Kootenai County Republican’s town hall on Saturday. In Idaho, the lines between Republican politics and political violence are thinner than they are in some places; this is a terrifying escalation.

This Shocking Moment at a GOP Town Hall in Idaho Is a Foreboding Sign

Private, unidentified security personnel dragged a woman out of the event. It raises questions not just about tolerance for dissent, but also who gets deputized to do what.

Serendipity! Saw the current New Yorker cover with vintage Rea Irvin and wistfully thought he should be appreciated more. Opened mag and saw Seth's 4-page appreciation! A traveling 21 year old Irvin of San Francisco popped up in my book The Goat Getters, drawing sports page cartoons in Hawaii.

“I think we need to persuade them that we are anti-fascist, the same way they persuaded us they are fascist.”

"The people who persuaded me that Republicans are fascist are Republicans. What this tells me is that actions are persuasive in ways words are not. I mention this because a lot of people seem to think that what is needed in this moment is persuasion." www.the-reframe.com/youve-persua...

As long as the world is in chaos anyway, let’s wipe blurbs off the face of the earth. I have been the recipient of other authors’ kindness (thank you all!) and I have tried to give help where I could, but blurbs are just advertising, and frequently ineffective.

the headline acts like this is a dramatic new thing but if you read the piece it is actually more like "we officially aren't going to require people to do something we already weren't officially requiring them to do" okay? cool?

Why Simon & Schuster’s Flagship Imprint Won’t Require Blurbs Anymore

In a decision some might call “stunning” or a “tour-de-force,” new S&S publisher Sean Manning has decided to no longer require authors to obtain blurbs for their books. Here’s why.
