Our fascist president is directing his fascist secretary of war to send troops to my home city, using "Full force, if necessary."

This is an escalation of what he did in 2020 grabbing people off the street, including the most dangerous of terrorists, the Wall of Moms

Trump says he is authorizing military to use ‘Full Force’ in Portland
The president wrote on Truth Social that he is directing the Defense Department to send troops to Oregon.

There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.
A lot of political influencers within the Atlantic/NYT orbit are very, very eager to sell us on the lie that we can get out of fascism by sacrificing trans people.

They will beat that drum even louder as the right weaponizes this tragedy.

They are liars now & they will be liars in the coming days.

Mispronounced @seananmcguire.bsky.social 's name when we met at #WorldCon (it's SHAWN-in, not SHAY-nan) and my dyslexic brain knew I always get it wrong but couldn't remember which was which.

I now know what I'm going to think about when staring at the ceiling at 3am for the next 20 yrs. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I read so many of these! Shaggy Man was such a dignified homeless person, and in Oz was treated with respect without attempts to change his nature.

In Oz a prison is a place of kindness, and thus Ojo went from unlucky to lucky.

In a country that claims its founding principle is freedom, there should be no more sacred a holiday than #Juneteenth.

"Acknowledge the tragedy. Consider the legacy. Lest we forget."

This is so hard to do, but so essential. Busdrivers still drive their busses, dentists still reach for the drill.

Authors still have to be silly little bananas shilling fantasy to the masses.

In all cases, the sky is burning, but the cats must be fed.
Yes I am continuing to promote my book during the authoritarian blitzkrieg 😭

Great article shared with me via another community I'm a part of regarding the #resistance against the #authoritarian #coup-in-progress, in light of the deliberate effort to hit us with an overwhelming blitzkrieg to sap and divide our strength: convergencemag.com/articles/res...
Resisting the “Everything, Everywhere All at Once” Blitzkrieg
MAGA’s fast-moving coup is upending the longstanding arrangements that have undergirded domestic politics and the US role in the world. What does this mean for the resistance, and how can the US Left…

Sad to say the little guy didn't make it. Built him a little cairn under our mural.

Caring for a very sweet little stunned bird who hit the window this morning. He's sitting up now which is a good sign. Hopefully he recovers.
