The man who launched an attempted coup on the United States in 2020 and instigated an insurrection at the Capitol that resulted in five deaths now claims that people in Los Angeles are launching an insurrection. They’re not.

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

Listen, friends, if you’re not already doing something, you better start doing something…
Republican “free speech” = they get to say racist slurs in public while you get arrested for protesting them.

Don’t be a nice person…
Two books side by side: The Pull of the Tide and Di-Curious. The cover art is by the same artist, Madison Brake. The Pull of the Tide features a pirate and a mermaid under blue-green water. Both have long hair, one dark and one gold. Di-Curious has two horned people, one with shoulder length pink hair and one with short teal hair. The pink haired one has her hand on the other's armor. They're in front of a library with various statues of dragons, pride flags, a Nintendo Switch, and books.
I'm so honored to share that TWO of my book covers are in the GCLS Tee Corinne finals! Madison Brake's art is phenomenal and absolutely perfect for these books. If you have a moment, please look through the finalists and cast a vote! tinyurl.com/5c5knwtv

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.
You don’t hate us when we call an ambulance to save your life, put out wildfires before they reach your home, rescue your lost kid, keep your water clean, or build the trails you love. But now they want to defund us? No rangers, no rescue, no wildfire response. Think about that.

Oops 😬
The President of the United States has a longer criminal record than 99% of the people he is deporting.
Oooooh, tempting. I am in the Ozarks. DM if you're selling anywhere.
Oh, hell yes…
Oooooh, mocha caramel! I'll be wishing I had some. 😋
You just validated the last week in MY writing process! 😆🫣

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt.
Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.
Here's a thread about how trans people can approach remaining informed of the news in a way that prioritizes pragmatism, self-care, and building resistance.
It's based on what I'm doing personally. So, fyi, I'm more anxious than usual, but holding up substantially.
Dear Senator ___,
I'm alarmed about Elon Musk's influence over federal agencies.
Reports indicate that Elon Musk has gained access to the U.S. Treasury's payment systems and has been involved in significant changes at USAID. This raises serious questions about national security...

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.
The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
"... It is better to stand alone than not stand at all!"
Elon Musk is a terrible president.
JUST IN:
"Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials."

A screenshot from Missouri independent with the caption Missouri governor vows to take over St. Louis police department
MO has three cities with higher crime rates: StL, KC, and Springfield. KC and StL have Black Mayors and a large Black population. Springfield has a White mayor and a large White population.
The state has taken over the police department in KC and is trying in StL.
No talk of Springfield. Weird.
