10.27.2025 - West #Chicago: #ICE "agents" scan driver's biometrics without a JUDICIAL warrant, Violating their 4thAmendment rights. #KnowYourRights! In every state his gestapo goons are in!!

This economic stagnation should worry everyone. 1 and 4 companies has a hiring freeze right now. Hiring managers are anticipating a recession. And instead of doing anything to fix it, Trump fired the person who counts the jobs.

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

"If we want to protect children, we should be fighting for privacy laws, protecting encryption, and learning from Bluesky's model, where they allow third party algorithmic feeds and moderation tools."

(🚨) BREAKING NEWS: Book Two of the 600-page Trump-Epstein epic Proof of Devilry—itself Book 7 of the NYT-bestselling Proof Series—has just been released at the link below. Hundreds and hundreds of sources establishing the most shocking political scandal in U.S. history. Please share this widely.

If you’re trying to make it harder for people to vote, stop pretending to give a shit about democracy. Every American - regardless of their political views - deserves to have their voice heard.

If you’ve read SEVENEVES, you’re absolutely terrified right now. I’m on the verge of wanting to create a support group. Neal Stephenson established pretty convincingly that if anything—manmade or otherwise—manages to cause a breakup of the Moon, it would in fairly short order end all life on Earth.

Kristi Noem must resign now.

Plot twist vs. caffeine. Guess which is winning? #authorsky #booksky

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.

I've had the incredible gift of writing for @rollingstone.com for over a decade, and since August kicking into high gear with the great editor @andrewperez.bsky.social I'm uncovering threats to our climate, environment, democracy & justice, & showcasing the resistance. Here are my stories so far:

Linda McMahon wrote Harvard a letter to which they responded by noting areas that are in need of corrections and then posted it on social media. Great job Harvard!👏👏👏

This is what happens when Trumpist bullshit meets an educated person.

This is the way. I hope more business leaders take note and support institutions that are fighting fascism.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Keep posting

America has never been subject to this level of authoritarianism, and quite frankly, sheer incompetence. Out of the ashes, this moment should radicalize us to embark on an era of new reform — of our economy, our democracy, and our commitment to social justice and the law.

Our friends at @weneeddiversebooks.bsky.social are celebrating on April 3! www.diversebooks.org/celebrate-we...

Friends in New Hampshire! We're hearing that HB 324 will be coming up for a vote today or tomorrow. Call your state reps & ask them to vote against it. More info here!

From 2010 to 2016 (latest data I have ), NIH research contributed to EVERY drug approved by the FDA

When there is uncertainty, lenders get persnickety about lending money. And yes that’s an #econsky official term

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Fascism is here. The list of words Trump is banning from government is the most stunning document of our time. Click the image below to see how many words Trump and Musk have canceled as part of their new Reich. 🔗: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Thankful to @melissawiesner.bsky.social for her time and kind words about my upcoming novel The Unwritten Rules of Magic (St. Martin’s Press, January 2026). Be sure to check out her terrific books! #booksky #magicalrealism

"What can I do?" That is the number 1 question I get asked. And at this time in our democracy -- or what remains of it when public servants put their loyalty to a person above their oaths of office— I am grateful that people are asking that question. Below is a video with my answer:

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

🥰 Another generous quote, this one from NYT bestseller Patti Callahan Henry. Her new book (The Story She Left Behind) drops on Tuesday!

Hey #booksky! Happy to share some early praise of my upcoming release The Unwritten Rules of Magic (St. Martin’s Press, January 2026). Have you read any of @bdavis-author.bsky.social ‘s books?

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business. We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

We are in trouble.

This is the way.

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts
