If you are a fan of romantasy, I definitely recommend Our Vicious Oaths and Son of the Morning. 🔥😍❤️
If you are a fan of YA fantasy, check out the duology So Let Them Burn/This Ends in Embers.
My Black Country was my favorite this month. Alice Randall’s book is both a memoir and a country music history lesson. If you’re a fan of country music, music history, or memoir, I highly recommend picking this one up.
I read six great books in February.
• The Rise of Magicks by Nora Roberts- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
• Son of the Morning by Akwaeke Emezi- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My family found a home here in America after fleeing the massacre of Jews in Ukraine.
Like so many refugees, they found work and contributed to their community.
It’s wrong that Donald Trump wants to deport families, just like mine, who fled violence.
Happy Oathbound Day!

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

The miraculous wrinkle-erasing, acne-fighting cream, is the result of decades of horrifying medical abuse.
I managed to read four very good books this month in spite of current events. I’m taking that as a win.
*Black AF History: The Un-whitewashed Story of America by Michael Harriot
• Blood like Fate by Liselle Sambury
• Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros
• Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler
I’m demanding answers, alongside members of the Illinois federal delegation, from the Trump administration for ignoring court orders to release almost $1.88 billion in federal funding for our state.
If they can't hold their end of the deal, Illinoisans deserve to know.
Thank you from a constituent! Please continue to resist.
Y’alllllll. Look what I found at the bookstore a week early. 🤭 I feel like I won the lottery. I promise I won’t spoil it. Eeeep!
He nails it.
The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.
The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.
It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.
Book #9 of 2025:
Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler
5 stars. Dystopian fiction that hits a little too close to home. I’ll be thinking about this one for a long time.
Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

If it was really about cutting wasteful government spending, they would have started with the Department of Defense that can’t even pass an audit.
This @washingtonpost.com story is so important that I'm gifting it. These people appear to be operating totally illegally and outside the Constitution -- and they know it. wapo.st/40LVERn
This is all fucking insane and anyone who says it isn’t either hasn’t been paying attention or thinks it won’t affect them.
I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.
