Hope to see you all there tonight!

Wish I could be there, but I know substitute host @amygoldschlager.bsky.social will help make this a most amazing evening!

I think there's still a lot to break down about the other night. But I do think this article helps really shine a light on the failings of the BBC and frankly, how everything was mishandled top down. www.them.us/story/john-d...

So sad I won't be here for this, but @amygoldschlager.bsky.social will be in charge -- and she's awesome! Mark your calendars now!

This took my breath away.

Amazing news! When you purchase the audiobook of my novel Lessons in Magic and Disaster between now and Feb. 12, ✨ 100 PERCENT ✨ of the purchase price goes to BINC, the nonprofit that helps booksellers who are having a tough time. I love this audiobook. And BINC. It's a win-win! libro.fm/binc

Dead people telling the President to pursue a trade war with an uninhabited island is real George III territory

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

You win, Corks & Curds.

This lawsuit is BONKERS. He notably didn’t sue the paper because the stories were true!

I have a hard time being protected from antisemitism by people who cosplay as Nazis .

It’s amazing to find out at this late date how much the rule of law depended on people simply deciding, on a voluntary, daily basis, not to break the law.

News everyday here is like - Trump fires everyone who was hired, hires everyone who was fired - Plane carrying bird flu crashes into measles factory, creating rare superbug, Flusles - DOGE eliminates workers that run the facility that imprisons the Deep Gods - Your mother has been detained by ICE

There’s no debate: so-called ‘conversion therapy’ is a dangerous practice, not therapy, and it has no place in our communities. These bans exist to protect LGBTQ+ children from harm—period. The Court must uphold the 10th Circuit decision, finding that these laws are constitutional.

the fact that people are being disappeared in the name of ""preventing antisemitism"" by a christian nationalist administration is making me nauseated and horrified in ways i cant even begin to explain

The injustice here puts into question the viability of our country at a fundamental level This level of lawlessness erodes at a basic level the social contract between Americans and their government. If the President can arrest Americans and permanent residents by fiat, we're no longer a democracy

We've been saving this little pup for when we thought you all might really need a gold star. And, given the current circumstances, here she is. 13/10

trump: I’m going to protect women women: no thank you trump: I’m gonna do it women: please don’t trump: I have kicked those 7 trans girls off the jv volleyball team women: what trump: and brought back andrew tate women: why trump: YOU’RE WELCOME WOMEN also you can’t vote anymore
