My current fantasy books!

One is a mythic fantasy series with Greek gods & modern heroes, while the other is the first of a Celtic fantasy trilogy about two teen boys told they must save their world from warring gods.

Both are on Amazon. 🏳️‍🌈 Check them out!

Long week. Today would have been a great day for extended cuddles. Is that too much to ask?

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

Banana republic shit.

If the reported facts are accurately, this is going to be a colossal embarrassment for DOJ.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

🚨 URGENT 🚨 Far-right lawmakers in Congress are once again trying to hijack must-pass bills to attack the LGBTQ community, and they're holding budgets and authorization for the military and essential federal agencies hostage to do it.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.
