I have deleted my photo because I protest the regime. Why make it easy for them? I was on Twitter because of John Scalzi's Scamperbeasts, but left when elno bought it. Joined BlueSky because John Scalzi moved the Scamperbeasts here.

“I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.”

listen & learn & change for the better.
A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed it.
Check out WHO FEARS DEATH. Najeeba is a central character in that, too. WHO FEARS DEATH plus the SHE WHO KNOWS trilogy tells her story. 😊

I feel paralyzed today.
I have a weight sitting on me…like a weighted blanket, but instead of enveloping my body in a nice sensation, it’s thrown over my head, and I feel anxious and uncomfortable.

Hell yeah. If you have a Dem rep or senator who isn’t saying this, ask them why not. Dems are in the minority but Repubs will need Dem votes for a new funding bill at the end of the month. Schumer won’t lead, but he will follow with sufficient pressure from his caucus.
The Trump Admin continues to lie about ICE's killing of a 37-year-old mom — claiming she engaged in ‘domestic terrorism.”
They have given ICE a massive budget and allowed them to act with impunity.
I cannot & will NOT support any funding for Trump’s ICE’s operations.

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power
- file impeachment articles every day in the House
- withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee
- be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

On Jan 20 we walk out everywhere.
Resistance doesn’t need permission. It needs to confront power.
A year into Trump 2.0, billionaires and big oil win.
Midterms will limit MAGA so 2026 is the cash-out.
We refuse. On Jan 20, feminists pull labor, money, consent. See you in the streets. #FreeAmerica

Northtown Books in Arcata is an absolutely incredible bookstore. Several years ago I met the folks who are running it now and their passion for running a welcoming local space was so infectious.
This fire is utterly awful.
If you can afford to kick in a few bucks to their fundraiser, please help.

Just spoke with the owner, Dante, & learned there is a fundraising page. If you are not in a position to give, please consider sharing this widely. Let's blow through that preliminary # -- immediate access to cash gives options the fire would seem at first to destroy.

If Trump can invade Venezuela without a declaration of war from Congress, "arrest" Maduro, and declare that the US is running things in that country now, why can't the European Union invade the US, "arrest" Donald Trump, and declare that the EU is running things here now? Please!
