And don't forget the constant attacks on our free and fair elections.

Please urge your elected members of Congress and senators to vote NO on the so-called SAVE act. It's not about the made-up issue of undocumented immigrants voting (they don't). It's about voter suppression, eliminating mail-in voting, and federal control of elections.

This is the authoritarian tell:

If a judge rules against your preferred outcome, declare the judge illegitimate.

If that mindset takes hold, courts stop being guardrails and become targets.

Democracy cannot survive a government that believes the law only counts when it wins.

Maduro was a bad actor and he's well gone. But this action was about Venezuelan oil and taking over Venezuela. Trump is talking about oil and "making money" as I write this. "We are going to make sure this country is run properly. We're going to be running it." Putin has taught Trump well.

Merry Christmas Scum.

Not a new writer but a new novelist. I've published a lot of academic, professional and business writing and a short story. My novel is back on submission after I made some major revisions suggested by an agent and a professional editor.

There are no words to express my disgust. Trump is the one with the derangement syndrome. Even in the face of tragedy, Trump can think of nothing but himself and his egomaniacal belief in his position at the center of the universe. I feel sick.

Trump’s racial profiling ICE goons to 🇺🇸 citizen: “Turn around or you’re gonna get the dog.”

What a bunch of unadulterated LIES! Someone fed Trump a lot of this BS -- he's using words here that aren't in his vocabulary. He also failed to mention the immigrants he disparages are "non-white," "look like" Latinos or Muslims and weren't speaking English. Racism and scapegoating extraordinaire.

I do not use AI, ever. I don't even ask it to do the simplest things when it comes to writing, because I don't want to feed it my work.

HAPPY HALLOWE’EN!!! 🎃👻💀

Why do so many people have such a visceral hatred of undocumented immigrants? It's completely irrational. Could it be they hate only the BIPOC undocumented who speak a foreign language in public and/or practice a religion that isn't Christianity? The same folks they hate even if they're documented?

We Portlanders are delighted. Welcome, Chicago!

🐸 Portland Frog has spoken! 🐸

That's all Trump knows how to do. He isn't smart enough, educated enough, or disciplined enough to accomplish good things on his own.

Portland is staying strong, staying safe, and peacefully protesting ICE and federal overreach and abuses in our own playfully serious way.

The latest battle in war ravaged Portland, home of "hidden" violence and destruction.

I love that he's named Hieronymus Bosch. A touch of class in a gritty world.

I'm concerned about when he does. Then Stephen Miller and the real Project 2025 will be in position to take over.
