If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

After two and a half years of writing, surviving a layoff, watching the rise of Fascism in the USA, I finally released a new novel. Revenge of the Phantom Press just released today! bit.ly/4a6AGBk
Revenge of the Phantom Press: A Bolingbrook Babbler Story
Touch a flame. Feel the fire. Tom Larsen, a former skeptic, became a paranormal investigative reporter for the Bolingbrook Babbler. A year later, he discovers that covering suburban Chicago's paranormal activity is tougher than debunking it. Despite his family, and the residents questioning his sanity, Tom is determined to succeed. But Tom's world is upended when the ghosts who used to publish a rival tabloid, the Phantom Press, reappear. Their attacks shock the village’s covert agencies, and even the Babbler’s newsroom isn’t safe from their rage. Tom and the remaining staffers are forced to evacuate Bolingbrook. Despite his editor's orders, Tom, aided by his mentor Juanita and her anti-psychic cat, investigates the Phantom Press's return. They’re soon attacked by occultists addicted to spirit possession, and face scrutiny from the village’s Department of Paranormal Affairs. Tom begins to suspect there’s a larger conspiracy involved, and wonders if Juanita is hiding something from him. Will Tom uncover the truth before his hometown is consumed by Phantom Press’s fury? Revenge of the Phantom Press is an Urban Fantasy/Paranormal Mystery novel set in suburban Chicagoland. It can be read as a standalone or as part of the Bolingbrook Babbler Stories. Buy Revenge of the Phantom Press, and enter a suburb where the truth is unbelievable, and shadows are deadly.

Please buy books that are coming out this year.

Doesn’t have to be mine. But there is a stellar release calendar this year especially of Black writers and it would be a shame if one of the fascist victories was people not buying those books (from the indies that are in the fight with us). #BookSky

Don Lemon will likely be ok, but this is about cowing every newsroom leader and every journalist in this country into submission. Because our job, at a fundamental level, is to hold power to account and tell the stories our government doesn't want us to tell.

Why read past headlines: First, to laugh at all the cope as TPUSA fans try to convince themselves this won't suck.

But this also exposes a deep paradox for TPUSA and MAGA in general. They want to seize pop culture, but refuse to be any good at it.

Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

Today in MN is a perfect example of why I ask y'all to subscribe to my human rights advocacy.

Corporate media knew MN interfaith leaders were coordinating a historic protest with thousands of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus & non-believers working TOGETHER.

And none showed up.
