Hi 👋 I’m a historical romance author focusing on Gilded Age America. My latest release focuses on reproductive rights and the Comstock Act.
Just sent a newsletter to my subscribers about the parallels to what we are seeing now. Amazing how many subscribers I lost. Nasty responses in my inbox. 🧵

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.
Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.
Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.
Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Kirkus liked The Scot's Seduction, out 9/30:
"a signature strong-minded Frampton heroine, packed with charming banter and steamy scenes...[t]he strongest element of the book is the depth of emotional connection that develops between the leads, leading to a satisfying ending in more ways than one."

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Our problem isn't a lack of resources.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.
