“All politics to existential conflict.” The term: “The Left” is an existential crutch. ” Who are these people. The Left. It’s an illusion. There is no such thing as the left, and any war against people who do not exist is a little silly. The left, the left, the left,…

Americana
Great piece. Cottom is an extraordinary writer. She gets right to the point. And she makes sense. What is surprising is that Tressie McMillan Cottom is still at the New York Times. I can think of about 500 publications that would show her the door. What is coming (it will…

Kennedy’s boss is a doctor. We didn’t know. But the fact remains that all of our leaders are doctors. All of them. Who would go to a deviant doctor. Doctor Creep Show. Who would take their healthcare to a grotesquerie. A stain upon humanity. One synonym for deviant is depravity.…

GENOCIDE IS BACK
Deportations. Cattle cars. Soldiers on the streets. It’s an old playbook. And it is happening again. In our faces. But Americans do nothing. Americans are a bunch of pussy ass babies. I wrote the book, GENOCIDE and everything in that book has come true. The ending of the book is…

Tim Barrus: The Great Highway
I am a communist. I lived in SF for decades. I like the no cars paradigm. I lived in a hole in the Tenderloin. I’m poor. Looking at the photography that goes with this piece, startled me. I was working in a group home for neurodivergent autistic children. I had…

GATEKEEPERS ALWAYS WIN
This will not be published. I used the word bulldozer. I submitted this as an example of how the New York Times demands compliance. If the gatekeepers think those of us who deplore the New York Times just disappear into the mist, the gatekeepers are crazier than I thought they…

Scratching Glass
I do not remember writing this. But some kind soul sent it to me to remind me what an idiot I am. But some of it does hit home. It was published in the New York Times 2009. Shame on me. Back in the States, under my desk, packed in…

Why I Quit High School I didn’t quit, I just didn’t go much. To high school. I was in a special program where I was literally let loose. Do I Say: I have Asperger’s. Or do I say, I am Asperger’s. All my voices are Asperger’s, too. It’s all so…

Tim Barrus, Publishing and Me
I just sent this to a literary agency. Because I love publishing. Actually, I love books. I owe you an apology. I’m on Facebook, but I never see it. I don’t want to see it. So I saw this agency on Twitter. Apparently on Facebook, if you hit return the…

Care For the Dying I am a communist. Your culture’s systems of denying the idea of death are a pornography, just like your society is. That will get me kicked off the NYT for being uncivil. Again. If you have strong, considered opinions about anything whatsoever, let alone, death, you…

Butt Naked On a Bench
Tim Barrus, New York Times I am a communist. Democrats depend on luck. Republicans depend on hatred. Sometimes the bear gets you. You, America. You are powerless to keep your own children alive because you are hypnotized by all your stuff. Do not sink this boat. Why. Not. It was…

I am a communist. In a world that condemns mostly accurate thumping of male chests, that communism was wrong. It was wrong. It cannot be turned around anymore. It’s for losers. I am a loser. Whose disappointment that anything can change, is the solid ground of If Only. If only…

I Am A Communist
I am a communist. I get poverty. There is just no way that our capitalist abyss rock bottom hole we have dug into the ground as our reality, is going to save us from the cowboy paradigm that has evolved, particularly in terms of how it defines the sacredness of…

The New York Times keeps trying to cover – the NEW education. How do we change what gets delivered to children has to be delivered to children. Now, let us go to special education. No one wants to talk about special ed as it is juxtaposed with typical children being…

Often, New York Times writers do not want to know too much because knowing too much is always trouble. It can seem like the writer has a preference within the context of one side to an issue or another. This is because the anecdotal is so pissed on. It can…

I’m poor. I belong to a caste. I’m poor. I belong to a class. I’m poor. I belong to racial stereotypes although I have yet to hand over my genetic information. I’m poor. Title 2 of the Genetic Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) supposedly protects individuals against discrimination on the basis of…

Today, HIV gets a tiny mention in the New York Times. In an article about sexually transmitted diseases. One word at the end of the piece. This, too, marginalizes. We are ashamed. We hang our heads. We did it to ourselves. Normals refuse to see HIV as a sexually transmitted…

We Will Fight Back
Mainstream America assumes intimidation with deer rifles at electoral locations is accomplished by right wing radicals. Fat old white men with guns. These guys are not radical. They cling to righteous notions that their world is democracy. It’s actually facism they love. We are the left wing radicals, and I…

Choose life? Leave Roe alone. What kind of life would that be. That life someone else is forced to have to live because the loudest among us say so. We never talk about the person whose poverty will define them, and they are happily here because the loudest among us…

In Going Rogue, I’m writing some about how as a writer, comments are the only thing I am allowed to touch. It’s the comments that facilitate such publications as the New York Times to become more than a publication, but now we dabble in social media platform. Because those of…

The filibuster is ephemeral. The South and the filibuster are antiquities. The South could go back to the cotton gin. Voting rights stand as perversion to the South. The filibuster and the Southabuster share many things. Like contempt. Why the democrats would keep around a bunch of rules designed 25…
