Vance follows a coterie of online Nazis on X, has described Curtis Yarvin as a major intellectual influence, and openly attacks immigrants in blood and soil terms. The response of most of the political press? "Doesn't look like anything to me."
For the last couple of years much of the media has had the most incredible unwillingness to learn literally anything about JD Vance. Never seen anything like it. Active resistance to learning anything about his ideas.
jesus man, tell me you have no idea who Claremont is or JD Vance's record as a postliberal

It’s odd that the president would need to give an Oval Office address about something as arbitrary (albeit idiotic) as moving Space Force or renaming the DoD. I have to assume he’s doing it because he knows the world thinks he’s hiding.

I'm seeing a huge increase in scam emails promising Amazon and Goodreads reviews and I don't know if that's part of a general increase in spamminess in this area or if it's because I have a book out in two weeks.

The 19th Amendment was ratified on this day in 1920, barring voting discrimination based on sex. But for women of color, the right to vote wasn’t fully realized until the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
105 years later, we're still fighting for equal ballot access for all.

Texas democrats Reps. Venton Jones and Terry Meza were under police supervision- and so took their escorts to a discussion about LGBTQ rights at a gay bar

You actually won't believe where a Texas Democrat took his DPS escort
If you have to have a DPS escort, you might as well take them to a gay bar.

218 New Books by Black Authors Coming Out Soon. Marketing & PR support from publishers is less than it used to be, and most of these authors won't even get *that* level of support from their publisher. So if you see a book you like, support the author by preordering/purchasing.
