This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this. The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

I had this conversation just the other day….

Thank you to @joelhs.bsky.social for posting this piece from a couple of years ago—I love when pieces continue to resonate.

The city of New Orleans uses the Mississippi River as drinking water. Our current governor begged the state to remove funding from the city of New Orleans to fix the pumps and the decaying sewage and water system UNTIL the DA agrees to prosecute women for abortions. www.essence.com/news/louisia...

Check out the amazingly @imorianderson.bsky.social on the subject of New Year’s mochi in Japanese American life. www.cbsnews.com/video/how-ja...

Dirty Dancing teaches that abortion rights are good and you should never date a guy who reads Ayn Rand, which is 90% of what you need to get through life

I had a wonderful interview with Rachel Gordan. I didn’t realize we were talking about writing and relationships, but that’s what came out in our conversation!
