Toad woke up. “Drat!” he said. “This house is a mess. I have so much work to do.”
Frog looked through the window. “Toad, you are right,” said Frog. “It is a mess.”
Toad pulled the covers over his head.

“Yes,” said Frog, reaching for a cookie, “we need will power.”
“What is will power?” asked Toad.

My favorite part of reading is when a book gets so good you have to set it down, (finger marking the page), and just let your mind be blown for a minute before picking it back up again.

A functioning Congress will have articles of impeachment drafted by the end of the day.
Our Congress will just go to social media to basically say “We don’t like this, but what are you gonna do?”

The student paper is often the only coverage of what's happening in Ann Arbor, a town of 125,000.
" The total number of student news programs in the country that distribute work to local outlets is now roughly two hundred and fifty.

Across the country, university programs are filling gaps in the coverage.

Bill Clinton just called on Trump to release the full Epstein Files, including all documents mentioning both Trump and Clinton.
“Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the DOJ’s actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation.”

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle.
And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.
For the crime of … complaining about government policy.
Core 1A speech.
With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Loved joining fellow Michigan Democrats in Grand Rapids last night. They are hard at work and fast underway, organizing to win based on our values and message of ensuring every level of government actually works for the people, delivering a better and more affordable everyday life for all.

I know we’re all Online (probably chronically) but what truly makes me sad is that this still isn’t the tipping point. And I have no idea what it will take for the average American to wake the fuck up to what’s going on.

This makes me so screamingly angry…so, you know, same old.
I'll be honest - the fact that *every single one* of my novels and novellas is in this list of stolen titles is a big part of why my enthusiasm for pursuing publication in the fiction world has waned the past few years.
