Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com

There's a difference between a parent's desire & medical cause, but D.C. is saying 'fuck that' to families.

2.977 people died on 9/11.
The daily quote for ICE is 3000.
I think putting it in terms like that puts it into perspective.
They want one 9/11 every day.

This is my daddy. The namesake of The Thurman Perry Foundation. That man, a 2x Vietnam war vet, sharpshooter, & paratrooper, was one of the kindest human beings who ever lived & saved that little baby by taking her in from total strangers

If you’re in LA in a public space this month and someone tries to get you to sign a petition about wages and voting DO NOT SIGN IT.
this is businesses trying to repeal an ordinance that increases wages for workers in hospitality spaces ahead of the Super Bowl, World Cup, & Olympics.
Do not sign!

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.
Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it.
Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Why are there so many low rise pants for men & so few Tall length shirts that will stay tucked in?
I don't want to show the world my midriff when I reach up for something & they don't want to see my pasty white skin.

When Shakespeare wrote, "... kill all the lawyers," (Henry VI, Part II) I think he misspelled 'republican politicians.'

Just learned there’s a place in Brooklyn called Win Son Bakery that does breakfast sandwiches on scallion pancakes and I’m grunting lustily

I wish they would quit calling Denver mayor Mike Johnson an educator. He was in the classroom 2y & principal 3y, none at a public school, & that all ended in 2006.
