The idea that white supremacists care about Black Christians, much less Black Christians in Nigeria, is a joke.
And we’re all in on the joke, you know.

Remember when Trump said he wouldn't be able to run for public office because of his history with the opposite sex?
He's always known, and his cultists have known for at least 9 years.

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.
I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.
They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

The news that AI was being trained on stolen works?
It was broken first about the BooksCorpus, on May 11 of 2021, and it was discussed in major news media thereafter. Romance authors talked about it. A lot.
The first archive they stole was largely romance.

The news about Harlequin translators getting fired en masse?
You should care about that. They're doing it there because they think nobody gives a shit about romance and so it's fine to experiment with it first.
