I did not know Colbert when I sat beside him at his desk. The first time we shook hands was just prior to this photo being taken, when I walked onto his stage and, under the applause, he asked if he had properly pronounced my last name. Which he did.
Imagine half your schtick is making predictions and you end up ducking under a table.

Oh fun. I recently learned my name appears in the Epstein files because, in 2013, David Blaine requested house seats to my first Off-Broadway show for Woody Allen and a guest who turned out to be Jeffrey Epstein. Deeply ironic considering the name of that show: NOTHING TO HIDE.
Stephen Colbert announced that his last show airs May 21st. What a coincidence, that's National Cancel Paramount+ Day.
I never expected to write about my time rigging card games. Then I watched him get elected in 2016. I hinted at it with a post. When Kavanaugh was sworn in, I’d had enough. The book is set in the world of crooked poker, but that’s not what it’s about. It’s about what’s happening to all of us now.

"Art means nothing if it simply decorates the dinner table of power which holds it hostage." --Adrienne Rich
Chuck Schumer knows what everyone else seems to have forgotten: the only way to beat fascism is to wear your glasses in the center of your nose. Not so low they fall off, not so high you actually see through them. That way, regardless of what happens, you’re ready to claim you did or didn’t see it.
Every Poll: “50% of Americans Support Nationwide Human Centipede Integration; Other 50% Deeply Concerned About Their Position in Line.”
Democrats lack both a story and a teller. “The fascists are coming” is not a North Star. Without a clear and emotional vision, and a leader to embody it, they will remain lost. Politics is storytelling. The best story wins.
At least the people who first allowed the Nazis to rise to power could honestly claim they didn’t know how bad things would get.
Man with Gun: Get on the train. Democrat: Technically it’s *in* the train.
These men are cowards. All of them. Never forget that.

Guess we're allowed to punch people doing that "My Heart Goes out" salute, too.
If you can’t hide the secret, feature it. Need to steal a coin from your pocket? Dipping in looks suspicious. So make it deliberate. Reach in openly, emerge holding a handkerchief. All eyes are on the cloth; no one sees the coin now in your palm. You can steal anything this way. Even a government.
A hearty preemptive *fuck you* to those just following orders.
They will absolutely put people on trains and send them to camps. We all get that? Right?

A coup can seize half the government before the resistance can put on its boots.
Nazis will always try to make it okay to be a nazi. It’s our job to make sure they know it’s not.
