This is such a great book series, I wish more people would read it so there would be a bigger fanbase to talk about it with! 📚💙

Dorilian Sordaneon is a Highborn Prince, which means his life is sacred, but there are still many who would try to kill, capture, or control him.
#PoliticalFantasy

A lone male figure stands on the ledge of a tall, gothic-style building, looking into the distance at a cathedral-like structure with a large circle lit by a flash of light. The circle looks to be a gear of some sort and is strangely smooth and futuristic in comparison to the buildings. There are birds flying in the mid-distance and the mood is of impending events of momentous consequence.
The title is "Sordaneon" by L. L. Stephens and it is Book 1 of The Triempery Revelations. In the upper right corner is a small tagline that reads, "Secrets sheathe swords."

It is alarming that the Trump Admin & rogue ICE agents would abduct a 13-year-old child from Everett, transport him to a facility over 500 miles away & reportedly subject him to harrowing conditions.

They must stop violating our constitutional rights.

My full statement:

A graphic that reads:

“It is absolutely alarming that the Trump Administration and its rogue ICE agents would abduct a 13-year-old child, transport him to a facility over 500 miles away without his family, lawyer or a court knowing, and reportedly subject him to harrowing, inhumane conditions, including inadequate nutrition and sleeping on a concrete floor with an aluminum blanket while still healing from a broken foot.

“He is a 7th-grader who should have been met with compassion and care, not criminalized and sent to an adult prison.

“The Trump Administration must stop violating the constitutional rights of our constituents. I join the chorus of community voices demanding basic adherence to due process, preservation of this child’s constitutional rights, and his immediate return to his family.”

A. A. Milne released Winnie-the-Pooh, with E. H. Shepard’s drawings, gathering the Hundred Acre Wood and its friendships into a single volume. A gentle book about loyalty and play that proves the everlasting value of small kindnesses.

First the Trump regime fired 1,300 CDC workers. Then it rehired about half of them.

Those who remain fired include key officials working on injury and violence prevention and crucial health statistics.

This hurts federal workers and puts us all at risk in a public health emergency.

"During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she 'doesn’t look like' a Greeley."

www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Chicago Tribune: Greeley, who was born at Illinois Masonic hospital and is adopted, carries a copy of her passport just in case she runs into federal agents.

“I am Latina and I am a service worker,” Greeley said. “I fit the description of what they’re looking for now.”

During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she “doesn’t look like” a Greeley.

“They said this isn’t real, they kept telling me I’m lying, I’m a liar,” Greeley recalled. “I told them to look in the rest of my wallet, I have my credit cards, my insurance.”

ICE agents blocked an ambulance that was trying to take an injured protester to hospital.

"We are still not being allowed to leave by ICE officers.” an EMT said on radio

When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU"

Rats often flee ships & buildings moments before disaster. Their acute sensitivity to vibration, heat, & pressure let them detect danger long before they risk becoming trapped. The pattern is so consistent, the Navy entered it in maritime logs as empirical warning, not myth.

Watch the rats 👀

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

Border Patrol & ICE operating under Trump regime directives have repeatedly attacked and detained US citizens violating their civil rights and human rights. Regime agents have also been caught falsifying reports, destroying evidence to cover up their actions. #3E 🧵
