I would like to think the Mad King proclaiming “I will continue to illegally raise taxes on the American people until the NATO alliance collapses” would be the type of statement to cause Congress to act, but I’m not sure there’s any red line the GOP Congress has anymore.
Trump says he'll impose a 10% tariff (rising to 25% in June) on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, because they've sent people to Greenland, until the US can buy Greenland.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
Breaking news: The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as part of an investigation alleging that they are impeding federal law enforcement officers’ abilities to do their jobs in the state.

it's easy to start an investigation of walz and frey. indictments & convictions are orders of magnitude harder. but the goal is what's important and it's nothing that breaking the power of the states which is the only brake on trump's attempted tyranny

I grew up in Devon and only now in hindsight do I realise how we measure things weirdly.

Eg. Measuring ones nearest neighbour by number of fields, navigating by bends in the stream or fallen trees.
"If you reach the final two grumpy cows before the sea, you have gone too far," they said. And that was how I realised I had finally gone too far.

A few photos from the amazing Undercliff, near Lyme Regis, Dorset: a topsy-turvy, otherworldly place, where the land is constantly swallowing itself, which proved to be a major inspiration for my latest novel... especially this extract: www.tom-cox.com/granny-kettl...

I've decided to make this piece free to read in full for the next 24 hours. It's about the dangers of AI and the difficult decisions the digital world forces us to make, especially if we earn a living via our creativity. It's also a love letter to human thinking: www.tom-cox.com/thinking-abo...

REP. @aoc.bsky.social : “I understand VP Vance believes shooting a young mother in the face 3x is an acceptable 🇺🇸 he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance and I. I do not believe 🇺🇸 people should be assassinated in the street.”

I miss the exciting place the future used to be, so I wrote 1983 about that. But it's also about education, and childhood, and mining, and the political climate of the early 1980s, and bruised semi-rural industrial landscapes, and alpacas.

I thought it might be nice to give away my last 2 signed hardbacks of my novel 1983, with two lovely linocut hares by my mum.

All you have to do to enter is repost this (& leave a reply).

The book's been called "Stranger Things rewritten by Kurt Vonnegut and Sue Townsend”.
Extract in the replies.

This is Renee Good.

She was a mother of a six-year-old child.

She was an American citizen.

She described herself as a “poet and writer and wife and mom and shitty guitar strummer from Colorado.”

And she was gunned down in cold blood and broad daylight by Trump’s ICE agents.

Every time I share this extract at least one person says something like this & the book gets a new reader.

So I keep sharing it.

This is the book I waited my whole life to write & I know people love it. But the death of my ex-publisher almost killed it.

This isn’t promotion. It’s resuscitation.
Loved this chapter, bought the book, it's fascinating and demands to be read more than once
I've removed the paywall permanently from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you won't...
