Whew! 1st draft of Book 3 of the VOLK series is done! Got a hefty bit of editing to do now to tighten it up and close any pesky plot holes. Had a blast writing the last several chapters and climax! I think it will be a fun read when it's all said and done. #writing #indieauthor #booksky

Did our president just declare war on us? 🥺

The ICE officer who violently shoved a woman at 26 Federal Plaza was reinstated without explanation. Yesterday, multiple photojournalists were assaulted by masked officers. @repdangoldman.bsky.social and I are demanding answers from Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons and Secretary Kristi Noem.

England is a cup of tea. France, a wheel of ripened brie. Greece, a short, squat olive tree. America is a gun. Brazil football on the sand. Argentina, Maradona’s hand. Germany, an oompah band. America is a gun. Holland a wooden shoe. Hungary, a goulash stew. Australia, a kangaroo. America is a gun.

So... frame every non-conservative American as an enemy terrorist, deploy the military to occupy American cities, then tell the military to start murdering people indiscriminately. Do I have that right?

I didn't watch Fat Man and Boy Blunder this morning, but the clips I've seen are horrifying.... General were told don't worry about politically correct & overbearing rules of engagement & WE are fair game to be intimidated, demoralized, hunted and killed as we are the enemies of our country...JFC...

And I'm frightened for our children, That the life that we've been living is in vain. And the sunshine we've been waiting for, Has turned to rain...........

I will never get over the fact that he posted this himself, apparently as a display of manliness. All flailing around like his legs are doing something for him. I just can’t….🤣🤣🤣🤣 *not the cool mom part. Clearly not his work. 🤭🤭

I thought of a friend, a young lawyer who died in the 1995 OKC bombing, as I watched Hegseth's tirade yesterday. My friend had a bumper sticker on her car, "Diversity is our greatest strength." Words still so true. We are stronger together.

On Friday 18 blue state attorneys general BLASTED the Federal Trade Commission, telling it to back off trans youth healthcare and warning of an insidious attempt to reshape the regulation of medicine in the US. And nobody covered it. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

"at least half a dozen companies vying for a slice of the $45 billion Congress has allocated for immigration detention work had hired Sowell because he had led them to believe his connections to Homan would help their chances of winning government work."

Ah, but you have to know, Mikey is…

Im just saying...

The last line of the Wikipedia entry on this story is priceless: "In 1988, when Larson visited Goodall's research facility in Tanzania, he was attacked by a chimpanzee named Frodo."

Swear her in.

The government shut down last night and House Republicans were on vacation.

The Epstein family docs allow us to all a couple...

Two minutes into his speech to military leaders, Trump is ranting about renaming the "Gulf of America"

Look out at the next No Kings March on October 18. Think MAGA is warming up to start some trouble.

In Chump's Own Words.......

Finally! Yes, Gov Pritzker did it! It's 25th Amendment time! LFG 💙🇺🇸💙

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files. My team has now filed motions to defend those states against this attack on federalism in 6 of those states: ME, MI, MN, NH, OR and PA. I suggest that tomorrow DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining two: CA and NY.

⚡️UK's Princess Anne makes surprise visit to Ukraine, meets Zelensky. Among the topics discussed during the meeting at Saint Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv were the return of Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia and the rehabilitation of war veterans.

Every day, Donald Trump issues a new threat against an American city — very often his own hometown. But we can stand up to his bullying and win. As Mayor, I'll work with our state and federal partners to protect New York City.

The National Archives' inspector general is launching an investigation into the inappropriate public disclosure of Rep. Mikie Sherrill's military records following Democratic outcry. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Juan Ciscomani is complicit in this shutdown and in the legislative disaster Republicans have created. Veterans will lose jobs, money, and healthcare. He is screwing over his own voters, and he needs to be voted out.

Easily, his most elaborate and destructive distraction from #TheEPSEIN_Files... yet.

The US government is grinding to a halt on nothing more than MAGA-branded trolling, writes @chrislehmann.bsky.social. Undocumented workers aren’t qualified to receive ACA or Medicaid benefits, any more than they can receive subventions from Social Security. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

The world has lost its most powerful advocate for nature and hope. Yet many remain who will continue her legacy and I know she will continue to inspire generations more.

DelBene: He’s the president of the United States, and instead of talking about standing up for our communities or what’s best for the country, he’s talking about inflicting pain if he doesn’t get what he wants. He’s been inflicting pain on the American people since he went into office in January

A lot of us believed Pete Hegseth hated women even before he was confirmed. We weren’t wrong. Quotes on women in the military: • In a 2024 interview, Hegseth stated that "Women shouldn't be in combat at all. They're life-givers, not life-takers" 1/3

It's absurd that Trump is spending an expected $3.8 million to deploy the National Guard to Portland, especially during a government shutdown and when families are struggling to pay for health care, housing, and groceries. What would you rather do with $3.8 million?
