“War-ravaged”!?!?! This is such insane bullshit. That’s what they WANT and are determined to manifest. The only wars in Portland are what the fascists bring 😡

Hi Congress, how’s it going? What’d you do today? Got any fun impeachments planned or not so much?

Just in case anyone wants a reminder of how Trump helped create the situation he's now using as justification to bomb Iran. abcnews.go.com/Politics/ira...
What was in the Iran nuclear deal and why did Trump withdraw the US from it?
Known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, the deal followed two years of negotiations during the Obama administration.

I am once again reminding everyone that the President does not get to declare war, that is solely the responsibility of Congress.
Trump announces the United States has bombed Iran.

Do you think the thorough education @dieworkwear.bsky.social gives this guy got through? I have such low faith in people’s abilities to learn and change their minds, but this is *chef’s kiss*
Not true.

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment.

Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

A win!
The bill: “Prohibits discrimination when selecting or retaining school library materials, textbooks or instructional materials or when developing and implementing a curriculum.” Good job, Oregon! 🙌🏼
Huge news! The Oregon House just voted to pass SB 1098, our state's Freedom to Read bill!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

The bill is now off to the governor's desk for a signature. Thank you to everyone who testified, contacted reps, and helped to spread the word about the bill! We did it!

The best part of any festival is, of course, the readers—and the other authors!—and it was so cool to meet French fantasy readers and French fantasy authors at Echos & Merveilles ❤️ (Everyone is linked at my IG if you want to find them :)
