I’m sure everything is fine.

I want to express my gratitude to the dozens who reached out to me this weekend and offered their support. I was viciously harassed by an obsessive maniac named Amanda Nelson, who whipped up her sizable influence to libel and defame me with outrageously false claims that I was a revenge porn practitioner and that I regularly stalk women. This occurred during a vital weekend in which I met my girlfriend's family for the first time. I kept it together, but I am wiped. Thank you. It means a lot.

Regis Debray wrote a highly influential book called REVOLUTION IN THE REVOLUTION? and argued that Che Guevara's Foco strategy -- an aggressive brew of manipulation, violence, coercive tactics, and rigid marketing of a wildly limited ideology -- was the way to control the messaging. It occurs to me that DNC corporate centrists are now doing this with their character assassination campaigns so that leftist ideas are drowned out by the status quo.

Aaron Parnas is a fraud, a cult leader, an insecure Trumpian tyrant, and absolutely NOT a journalist.

Aaron Parnas is a Fraud, an Insecure Trumpian Tyrant, A Bully, and Absolutely NOT a Journalist

I'm nearly 200 pages into Isabella Hammad's THE PARISIAN. And this young woman has extraordinary literary talent. Not only is she wise beyond her years, but she is somehow casual with her narrative ambition. The tale of Mithad in this wonderful novel, despite taking place more than a century ago, could be the tale of ANY Palestinian today fighting for dignity. And that is the sad and poignant timelessness of the tale.

There are three things that you will NEVER see from white supremacist Aaron Parnas:

1. Aaron Parnas acknowledging and condemning the Israeli genocide of Palestinians.

2. Aaron Parnas speaking out when his followers express racism towards a Black creator.

3. Instead of asking his users to "support him with a cup of coffee," using his influence to contribute to a homeless and/or marginalized person's GoFundMe.

Parnas is a blue MAGA grifter who, much like Trump, cares only about himself.

America is crumbling. Tonight, when I ordered the car service tonight that my employer provides, the dispatcher was in tears. It felt utterly callous to not address this. So I asked if he was going to be okay, offered to listen to him, and told him that I had nothing but plaudits for him. The man had apparently been bullied by a coworker and was trying to power through like so many of us.

Everyone is on edge. Be kind. Trump needs to be gone. Because a lot of people aren't going to make it.

But goddamn. Hurting kids is just so fucking NORMAL in our world, & it has to stop.

We don't need age verification online (a surveillance ploy). We need to stop normalizing the abuse & exploitation of children in every area of life & culture.

Keeping a kid off the Internet doesn't fucking protect them from the predatory adults around them. In fact, it may make them more vulnerable than ever.
