I would say, "unbelievable," but I learned early on to expect the worst from these goons.

Congratulations! And not surprising!💜

Milestones We don't always know them when we see them.

Commemorate your milestones.
Right now I'm looking at three—one that happened a long time ago, that I didn't know about until years later.

Thanks!

I just finished narrating my 100th audiobook. It's my first book for @simonaudio.bsky.social. I'm taking the weekend off to celebrate!

Dangerland! by #ErinSinger comes out in July. And it's not just me, there's a whole cast of excellent co-narrators on this book. It's a good one!

It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms With only nine months before the midterm elections, Trump is plotting to prevent Democrats from taking control of Congress.

I took the photo at Vroman's Bookstore this week & managed to get my hair in the picture...

Congressman Tom Suozzi was confronted.
He is one of seven Democrats casting the decisive votes to increase ICE funding by $10,000,000,000. Hideous, grotesque, fascist-loving coward, this man has blood on his hands. We will not forgive him, and we will not forget.

The only time this situation will de-escalate is when this federal occupying force ends its siege.

They are the escalating factor and, have been this entire time.

Until then, this office will communicate as transparently as possible regarding ongoing investigations.

March 28 No Thrones, No Crowns No Kings

❌👑 Over the past month, we’ve watched as ICE executed two people in broad daylight and more behind closed doors. They have invaded our communities and are using children as bait to lure our neighbors out of their homes. 👑❌

On March 28th, we’re standing up against these masked terrorists.

Eyes on ICE: Document and Record · No Kings On 1/24/26, federal agents horrifically shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse who cared for veterans, in the Eat Street neighborhood of south Minneapolis after brutally beating him in ...

I'm attending No Kings's event, “Eyes on ICE: Document and Record” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

These House Democrats just voted with Republicans to give ICE more money: Jared Golden (ME-02) Don Davis (NC-01) Tom Suozzi (NY-03) Laura Gillen (NY-04) Henry Cuellar (TX-28) Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34) Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03) (Indivisible logo)

Every representative who voted yes voted for more brutalization of our neighbors, more kidnapping of our children, more trampling of our rights, and more murder from this government.
