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…

I live in Small Town Appalachia. We don’t even have a gas station. We have a little movie theatre no one goes to. Mainly, we grow food so the country can eat. The people here are racists. The people here are Christian Warriors whose ability to confront (anything) stays in…

When We Die Again
When We Die Again Tim Barrus My life has been a life of death. Code for it has not been much of a life. Is that all you got. I am disappointed. What a waste of so many lives because one old white man says we all need to die.…

Shooting from the hip. The Puppet Master remains unchallenged. Murder is his modus operandi. A sociopath squirms because murder is over the top. A psychotic squirms but he likes what he sees. The criminally insane do not squirm at anything. The criminally insane have no road to anywhere. Murder is…

I do not believe America is worth it. Just writing this, is a political act. People claim: “I finally have my new house.” No. The bank owns your house. The bank decides. Most Americans own a car. The bank owns your car, too. Childcare is seen as women’s work. Their…

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.…

She was a source. I cannot disclose her name or where she worked. She is a serious person. You do not have to believe me. She called because she had some new stuff to show off. This was a ruse. She wanted me to know about real power. It wasn’t…

It is not human. Let’s all remove his humanity and expose that fat bitch for the fraud he is.

I have lived in many cheap motels. This is where you come to die. Little noisy kids are playing basketball in the back parking lot. It’s sweat drip hot. Open the door for air. Black cowboy boots. A prison town. No ice. Yada dada nothing. A bed. U-Haul rentals hopping…

THE NEW YORK TIMES REFUSES TO PUBLISH THIS — IT’S TOO CLOSE TO HOME — THEY DO NOT ALWAYS GET THE STORY, THEY ARE AS COLD AS A PEDOPHILE, WHY SHOULD ANYONE TALK TO THEM, SHRUGS — IT’S NOT INSTITUTIONAL, IT’S ABOUT GENOCIDE, AND PEOPLE, TOUGH STORY TO CRACK, BUT…

Tim Barrus: Ezra’s Abundance
I am a communist. I do not understand what this term – abundance – means. How is it politik. What does it translate into. I do understand the politik of economic redistribution. Income inequality. Corruption. The rich are afraid that everyone wants to rip them off and steal their stuff.…

Tim Barrus: Beating Up Bloody Bullies
I am a communist. All is not okay. I took the black pill a while ago. Full stop. The vibe here is: Agony. I put my children on a flight out of this sick and sickening country. Daddy stays in America to fight. All is not okay. I will not…

I am a journalist/novelist. It is art’s responsibility to hold a mirror up to reality. It is my job to make you feel uncomfortable. It is not my job or inclination to make you comfortable. Yesterday, I ended my interview with US soldiers. I had reached my quota. I asked…

Tim Barrus: No Imagination
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/opinion/trump-100-days-approval.html#permid=141592235 I am a communist. I like the sense of distance here in terms of stepping back, carefully. The background of the piece is telling me to be very wary because instability is unpredictability. The human brain is a predictability machine. It assesses risk. Here’s one: I predict summer. The…

Extinction Event
I am a communist. The whole Let’s Have More Babies fetish is a hay ride I cannot jump on. Babies in poverty is so unfair. We are worth more than that. Why is slavery always the answer. Just telling me that humanity will rot doesn’t make it through the filters…

Take notes. The distance between Hiroshima and Seoul is 400 miles. The Koreans know it is in reality, the distance to the moon. History speaks volumes. The next itchy player would be Mao Zedong. The 1950s saw enormous instability. Douglas MacArthur wanted to use the bomb again. And he was…

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/11/opinion/trump-republican-party-cabinet.html#permid=138199476 Take notes. Going under. Some of us have descended into brooding, (I have). Then, I slap myself. I have to stop “doing” anxiety, and start asking better questions. I see it differently than most Americans. I am not allowed to say: Civil War. People write to me, and in…

Take notes. Baring witness is important. I do not know why. But the idea that you can talk armed soldiers out of using Rape as a weapon of war is patently absurd and beneath contempt. Who do you think will be shot in the face next. You. Will be shot…

Tim Barrus, New York Times
Take notes. Adolf Hitler was elected, too. I have been screaming for years that it is us and we are it. Take a good look into the mirror, America. Unless you can get away with putting Republican children in cages, you’re toast. There will be more whining and weeping. Too…
