Trump is trying to fire three members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission the agency that ensures products like cribs, toys, and electronics are safe. The removals are illegal and undermine the commission’s independence. But since when has the Trump admin cared about following the law?

1. Great news.

Yesterday, Planned Parenthood of Arizona restarted gender affirming care for transgender adults.

This decision comes after widespread public outcry at a "pause," which was seen as overcompliance with Trump threats.

Fake ICE agents are now targeting immigrants, creating dangerous and chaotic situations. Americans have Second Amendment rights, and people won’t just stand by while masked men grab young women off college campuses. If you’re making an arrest, show a warrant and ID. Period.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Georgetown scholar Dr. Khan Suri, who was abducted by ICE, was refused food/water to break Ramadan fast, housed in a room without a bed, and issued *used* underwear.

His child cried for days after he was taken and has since stopped speaking.

The US has embarked on a campaign of terror, particularly focused on educated people who are "other" than us.

Readers in #romancelandia can put a stop to this AI idiocy by:

1. REFUSING TO BUY AI GENERATED BOOKS
2. Supporting human authors.

The ex- book publishing execs should know better.
