🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨

I’m partnering with Rep. Massie & @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social to introduce a War Powers Resolution that will force a vote in Congress to block Trump’s insane escalations against Venezuela.

No one except Trump wants this war—so I’m going to use every tool I have to stop him.

First strike: WE'RE AT WAR!!!
Second strike: How can it be a war crime if we're not actually at war?

As the debate about Die Hard being a Christmas may never be resolved, is Beethoven's Ode to Joy a Christmas song?

RCFP is currently representing me in my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan Police to release body cam footage from their raid on the US Institute of Peace earlier this year.

Please support them so they can further their vital work of maintaining journalists' First Amendment rights!
When the government refuses to release public records, we take action. When reporters are arrested for doing their job, we speak up.

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

I want to make a list of *short stories* (any genre) published by intersex authors in 2025 & hopefully going forward. I've been meaning to do this for a while, and I think now there are plenty of stories.

If you have some stories, let me know / if not, please repost to spread the word?

Thank you!

The science in this piece reads a bit frothy, but I love the idea and hope it proves out the way the author says it is:

“It might be possible to use A.I. to study even larger swaths of whale codas, find patterns within the vocal data and eventually translate what whales were saying to one another.”

"Spending growth is expected to mostly reflect HIGHER PRICES, not greater volumes…"

Folks were asked not to buy stuff for ONE day. Many stayed home, yet majority still went to stores or spent $ online.

One couldn't design a better test to assess what most aren't willing to give up to force change.

Instead of buying books from Amazon and other corporate mega online book stores, please consider buying books from bookshop.org and designate a local independent bookstore that will benefit from the sale. #BuyLocal #BoycottAmazon

I just skimmed the Wikipedia article for that thing...every country with a large arms industry has made their own glide bombs. What even is the spy worry here?

It tried to kill me but I have finished the book. Second pass pages read through, final copy and line edits done.

Please read my book. I worked very hard on it. 😭 (Also read Legendborn, as you can see from the background, I’m a fan)
