This would be lethal for any nonprofit so marked by a rogue official. It would kill their fundraising.

If I had children I would not allow them on today’s social media until they were 40.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

The Surrender Caucus. Apt. I also liked the Hateful Eight.

Moments of rest and reflection have to be more intentional in this climate of uncertainty. I wrote it because of this, you might want to read it for that reason. #poetry #writing bit.ly/482Rz…

In recent years, I've spent a lot of time in the artist's house, reading and writing, and tending to my wellbeing by savoring art. I'm very happy to say my new poetry collection, THE ARTIST'S HOUSE, is now out! Thanks to the poets, musicians, dancers, and artists who inspire me. 🩷🎉🥳 bit.ly/3Lu3YS8

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026. If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it. So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.” Because that IS what they are going to say.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Some of these cabinet officials are acting like presidential immunity applies to them. They might need to read that case.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

A story about young love on the road to find truth and love might be just what your Sunday needs. #romance #booksky shorturl.at/fKPHs

This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people. Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it. We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

I don't want to live in a country where 10-year-olds are on the news talking about how their friends saved them by lying on top of them during a shooter incident... and got shot. Thanks, GOPNRA.

These guys should be home with their families.

I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.

It's really hard to sell a book in times like this, but if you need a distraction and a virtual romantic getaway, check out my new novel HEARTSTRUNG. Young lovers set out on the road to India, looking for enlightenment and true love. bit.ly/466s254 #booksky

apnews.com/article/supr... ICYMI This is outrageous The ruling came in law suits filed by 16 attorneys general, public-health advocacy groups, and some affected scientists There are hundreds of NIH research projects that have been cut We AMERICANS will suffer.

Historians in the future looking back on what’s happening right now should be grateful if there are any historians in the future, or a future.

Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.

Delighted to be included in this terrific poetry blog! Enjoy this issue of Via Negativa. #poetry

🦦 Did someone mention otters recently? 🎶 Are you ready for it? Because when it comes to the life of a sea otter, our exhibit otters are the 1 🧡

I’ve had it with these tech CEOs thinking that kowtowing to Trump will make them and their companies richer. @apple is now playing stupid games and will win stupid boycotts.

Found my groove today on my mystery in progress. New genre to me, so I'm studying good ones and learning the tricks. A good mystery plays very good tricks on the reader. Delicious when it all comes together. Looking for the magical recipe. Studying SJ Bennett and others. Recommendations? #booksky
