I had a manger once. He wanted me to write more "fast-paced, cinematic" books. I said no. I *like* slow-burn stories that ratchet up the tension over time. I write what I would want to read, no more, no less.

Overwhelm communities. Provoke fear. Suggest those enforcing the law are above it. Trump is dripping authoritarianism bit by bit into our veins—hoping we won’t notice the poison. We noticed.

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

The Supreme Court:

Youtube may or may not be back from being down or some major global outage. Now's your chance to reset your algorithm for maximum positivity by watching my show 😁👍 youtu.be/Y4KcKvDer-U?...

Wow.

G.I. Joe taught me a long time ago that people who attack the press are the bad guys.

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

This is Lil Cat. She’s in Mendocino. A little shy. VERY sweet. 8 years old. And was well loved. Can anyone give her a soft spot to land? That face! If not, can you share? www.mendocinohumane.org#sl_embed&pag...

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.

every single "principled libertarian" put on the red hat in 2016 and i don't think we should let them take it off and pretend like they're real intellectuals again now that he's unpopular

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

The only response here is a motion to enjoin the whole operation If the government's position is "I'm sorry your honor but we don't be the capacity to both respect constitutional rights and conduct the operation as it is currently being conducted" the answer is "then you must stop the operation"

Yeah no. Don’t set random fires in my neighborhood. People live here actually

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1784

190 riders in Tacoma for today's Unity Ride for Alex Pretti! #bikeSky

I may have a stroke. Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.” A PROTESTant. I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

Take his personal army away from him while you can, you stupid, stupid assholes. You’re like an armadillo playing dead in the middle of the road so the semi won’t hurt you

It's once again time to trot out this research that shows Lexis and Westlaw still hallucinate case law 17% - 33% of the time. dho.stanford.edu/wp-content/u...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks

Minneapolis, when the whistles blew.

Bluesky idea: if people just coming to realize that facism is bad because it hurts them are upset that people who understood the threat (& were treated like a bunch of hysterical Cassandras for years because of it), maybe they should learn to sit with their fucking discomfort.

Yep. Yep. This one hit me pretty fucking hard.

Charles Yang of Time for Three absolutely slaying me. I would lose my mind if I heard this live. Even crappy phone speakers made me scream and cry.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

US government rn

Not even $7k has been raised. The fucking guy that murdered that white lady had how much money at this point? www.gofundme.com/f/support-ne...

Post a female character you love.

All those people downtown yesterday, no ICE involvement, and not one incident. ICE shows up in a neighborhood and now another Minnesotan is dead. It's pretty obvious who the violent outside agitators are.

it's why even at our worst, I can't hate this country. so many of us are awful. the people in power are so often awful. but we are a 287 different cultures in a trench coat and when those of us who love being in that trench coat with the gang rise up, we are fucking amazing.

I finally finished this Enterprise D LCARS cross stitch! Was supposed to take about a year, but longcovid had other plans for my brain and ability to count. So it's been over four years instead. It has a bazillion-jillion stitches in it.

I'm sorry, abolishing ICE is now off the table as the centrist compromise. The floor is now The Hague.

Hung a guy at Nuremburg for doing this, FYI. Not "a thing like this" but literally this, exactly.

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

To be politically conscious from 2000-2009, and more specifically from 2001-2005, was to have your brain stamped with a feverish Curse of Knowing. So when you see shit like this, all you can think is “Dick Cheney insisting on links between Al Qaeda and Saddam”. You never forget the scent.

Wow you’re telling me that you did a bunch of work and an A.I. company just stole it without asking or paying you, that’s so crazy

You should take the time to watch this, especially if you have any interest in Hollywood history

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

This is how the genocide campaign against Ghorman started in Andor. Like, almost word-for-word.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

I sure picked a rough week to start watching Andor.

Those hoteliers who wouldn't rent to ICE agents in Minnesota understood.
