I'm sorry that I missed it for so long, however, I'm pretty stunned by this release it was incredible.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Just finished an incredible advanced reader for @mcintyres.bsky.social from @tkingfisher.com Nine Goblins is a rip roaringly hilarious read that you will not be able to put down! #booksky📚🪐 💙 #reviews #newreleases

Cover of Nine Goblins with a review ... Nine Goblins by T. Kingfisher is an incredible read. The adventures of the 19th Goblin Infantry in their war against the Humans and Eves is a spellbinding, rip roaringly hilarious romp thru magic, cultural differences, kittens, stuffed animals, trolls, skeletons, wizards, Elven Rangers and the scariest antagonist of them all: humans.
Kingfisher has created an incredible cast of characters that will keep you enthralled and entertained, desperately hoping for more.
Possibly the most fun read I can recommend. You will never think of goblins again in the same way. It was the first story they wrote and what a journey they have taken us on.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight.

But consider this...

Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending.

Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

I cannot wait for all the sons and daughters of Ukraine's brave citizens can return home to a free and prosperous member of the European Union away from the threat of Russian genocide.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher.

Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.

Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”

This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

He stood in front of the world at the UN today, and every other word out of his mouth was a lie. I’ll say it again, we’ve not been here before. An American President who lies as he breathes. It’s a terrible place to be. Shame on the media & everyone who’s normalized his lying and/or doesn’t care.
