Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

Mikie Sherrill and her police are arresting credentialed Press at Delaney Hall. Completely illegal. Completely against the first amendment. She's acting like a Tyrant.

let's be clear, let's be very clear, let's be incredibly clear about something: Marcia Lucas is why you love Star Wars. She's why Star Wars worked. She's why it has heart. She's responsible for the in-media-res beginning, she's responsible for basically everything charming and unique about >

The fact that Nyong’o’s beauty is causing a war between two rival cultures in America right now is proof enough that she is the perfect Helen of Troy.

Holy shit. Miraculous.

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

Trump did not write the Art of the Deal, Tony Schwartz did.

Big tech corporations have finally figured out who is to blame for their crappy products: science fiction writers.

Happy John Brown’s Birthday to all who celebrate.

This doesn't even make sense in MAGA terms. America's golden age was when the buffalo roamed free on the Prairie.

"You cannot follow both Christ and the cruelty of kings. A leader who mocks the weak, exalts himself, and preys on the innocent is not sent by God. He is sent to test you, and many are failing." — Pope Leo XIV

Had convos w/ multiple people in the past 4 days who DID NOT KNOW that 1. AI doesn't "think" or know anything; it's a probability machine 2. It was created using massive amounts of work stolen from actual people including me 3. The environmental costs are astronomical Spread the word, every time!

May 4th, 1970; marks 56 years, when the National Guard opened fire on Kent State students protesting the Vietnam War. 67 rounds in just over 13 seconds. 4 dead wounding 9 others. Say their names. Allison Krause, 19. Jeffrey Miller. 20. Lee Scheuer, 20. William Schroeder, 19.

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

“People like Donald (candidates) should also have to be evaluated by a psychologist to make sure they’re not a criminally insane pedophile that should’ve been locked away in a federal prison 30 years ago for being a Russian asset.”

Impossible to understand the Suprme Court's Voting Rights Act case without the context that John Roberts has spent his entire career working to gut the VRA. As a Reagan DOJ staffer, he made the *same arguments* the Court just embraced. He lost then; he won today. ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/john-...

"I was ABSOLUTELY told that the Democrats would be bringing knives to the gun fight. What the fuck are they doing bringing guns?" --a whole lot of Republicans looking at the results from Virginia right now

This is bitter and painful news to me, only 2 months after a beloved family member died of pancreatic cancer. I am glad for the world, though.

This is just to say I have let in the duck that was on the doorstep and which you were probably hoping would stay out Forgive me he was persuasive so scary and so loud.

Pope Leo XIV condemns the Trump administration in new speech: "Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth."

It really is quite difficult to convey just how stupid Donald Trump is. He is offensively, obnoxiously, infuriatingly stupid, but that genuinely does not cover *just how goddamn stupid this stupid, stupid, stupid man is*.1/

BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology. This is a serious escalation.

ICE has detained over 6,200 children during President Donald Trump’s second term, according to recently released numbers analyzed by the Marshall Project. Advocates warn trauma from detentions will cause kids lifelong damage.

34… 4… what’s a little exaggeration of 30 ships amongst friends? (4 ships transited yesterday)

ORBÁN CONCEDED

I am developing an absolutely hair-trigger hatred for the phrase 'make a deal' and all related expressions of the ignorant, simplistic, transactional, selfish, zero-sum-game world-view which is currently causing so much chaos and harm to untold numbers of people.

The only thing the Arch de Trump will be good for is blowing up when we eradicate all traces of this demonic regime. It will make much better video than the destruction of Saddam's statue coming down did.

Another sad victim of the face-eating leopard. "I never dreamt he was demonic, twisted, and sick till he started chewing on ME!"

"The agency is shutting down 50 of its 70 research stations. More than 200 people work in the Northwest research stations that are closing. The Forest Service says researchers at shuttered stations won’t lose their jobs, but they will have to relocate." Wildfires are gonna suck worse this year. 😵‍💫

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

Investigative post and followup commentary. SCIENCE!

In case your day needed a Krazy Kat

We are everything we accuse the Iranian regime of being. And WE were the ones who started it. Not just this time. But forever. With the 1953 coup. We are the enemies of democracy & freedom.

Typhus. Back as a major public health problem, just as the US is eliminating Public Health as a fundamental job of government. We are on the verge of a new Dark Age.

The question of birthright citizenship was decided on Civil War battlefields, when Union soldiers fought to rid the nation of the effects of the Dred Scott case. Then it was formalized in the 14th Amendment. To question that outcome is to disrespect the very foundation of what it is to be American.

This morning, the Israeli Police prevented Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Head of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land, together with the Custos of the Holy Land, the Most Reverend Fr. Francesco Ielpo, OFM, from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, to celebrate the Palm Sunday Mass.

🧵 Arizona marches for: — Immigrant families facing ICE raids daily — Indigenous communities on federal land threatened by extraction — DOGE cuts hitting Arizona federal workforce — End the Iran war — No kings. Not in the Sonoran Desert. #NoKings

New #WriterBeware blog post: I'm getting a lot of reports of a new impersonation scam using the names of prominent editors to make referrals to fake literary agents and "book doctors"--though it comes from a familiar source and uses tried-and-true scam techniques writerbeware.blog/2026/03/27/w...

The average price of gas in Arizona is $4.63 per gallon, a jump of 20 cents since last week and $1.37 more than it was a month ago

No! This is nuts. Or rather, CBS is nuts.

In Mata v Avianca, the judge made the attorney who submitted LLM-fabricated cases write personal apologies to judges who allegedly wrote the made-up cites!

BREAKING: Former FBI director and special counsel Robert Swan Mueller III has died. He was 81. www.ms.now/news/former-...

Remember that time Chuck Norris accused the Obama administration of creating secret concentration camps in abandoned Walmarts throughout Texas to imprison Republicans? And then the TX Gov called out the National Guard to prevent this?

The wonders of living in a country without those pesky business regulations.

I think about this mark twain quote about the reign of terror quite a lot.

While dropping off his kids, federal agents detained an Afghan refugee who served alongside U.S. special forces. He died less than 24 hours later. This is the 43rd death in ICE custody since Trump retook office. We need accountability and justice for all those who’ve died under their watch.
