Going from reading an Elmore Leonard book to reading Mistborn has been jarring. I can see he’s built something intricate here, and I do appreciate it, but I definitely need to be in the right mindset. The dialogue is tough, and at times feels like I’m reading someone explain
Trump is trying to deport a Columbia Univ. student who has been a permanent resident in the U.S. since she was 7.
Her "crime”?
Attending a protest against the war in Gaza.
No, Mr. President. This is a democracy. You can't exile political dissidents. Not in the United States.
I’m glad you’re rich. It seems to be the only thing you care about. Money is dope you can do a lot of stuff with it. Sincerely. We need it, as a community. One thing that’s more valuable than money is people. I’m sure you’d agree no dollar amount can measure North’s laugh, I’m sure you’d go broke to bring your mother back. I would for my dad, who I lost in ‘21.
That seems to be what you don’t care about, anyone else. You’re trapped in an infant’s bubble, where you can be reckless and careless and people excuse it because of affection. We realize this, and try to ignore you, until the baby picks up something sharp like Nazism, domestic abuse, etc. then we gotta child proof things until you stop crying.
You’re right about one thing, I am a slave to capitalism. We all are. Gotta work. But No one is more of a slave than the man who puts money over dignity. No one. So I’ll be a slave, and you be what you are, which is the slow kid in the Black community’s class. Keep eating boogers Kanye.
