Book cover that shows a Ford Raptor driving at twilight. A hand is seen from the driver's side window littering loads of fast food onto the side of the road. A banner says in the corner, "An unauthorized Dean Koontz Parody".

I saw the new George Orwell documentary last night. It’s called 2+2=5. I have been a little bit squeamish about applying the word totalitarian to Trump and the Republicans. Not anymore. We are experiencing a totalitarian movement. There’s no question.

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”
