Thank you @democrats.senate.gov for voting unanimously for Senator Sanders’ Amendment to strip ICE of BBB funding. Can you please demand the Sanders Amendment as a condition to fund DHS now that you’ve successfully separated it from the larger spending package?

Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024 UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M. HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

It doesn’t seem like Epstein is a hoax after all.

I stand with Don Lemon✊🏽 “ I will not be silenced”

We are now in a full-blown constitutional crisis. That’s why following the arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, I sent three separate letters demanding the dismissal of all charges, a congressional hearing, and a DOJ Inspector General investigation.

✊🏾 🇺🇲 ✊🏾 🇺🇦 #ONEV1 #Pinks 🌸 #Voices4Victory

Don Lemon speaks outside of the courtroom after release: "I have spent my entire life covering the news. I will not stop now ... I will not be silenced."

Brutal column in the Kansas City Star about a local real estate company trying to avoid public scrutiny for selling ICE a property for a massive prison camp: www.kansascity.com/opinion/arti...

When the Department of Justice has to come out and say “we are not protecting the president”, they are absolutely protecting the president.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

“Melania - a romantic comedy where the romance is imaginary and the comedy is unintentional.”

News cycles are being manipulated to make people think a problem has been solved when it hasn’t. Bovino removed didn’t change anything but people have been tricked into thinking it did, so they move on. Same as it was. Know this. The situation in MN is as bad as it’s always been. Don’t forget them.

In Chile under Augusto Pinochet, political dissidents killed by security forces were labeled extremists or terrorists. The government praised the military and dismissed killings as unavoidable even when victims were unarmed or already detained. Must we go on?

Walking with the author through his thoughts and feelings on the loss of his spouse was healing in a way. To see him try to reconcile who she was to who he remembered and trying not to be self-centered in his grief was enlightening. #booksky #vtuber

Do you wish authors wrote more weird little books?! If the answer is yes, here is flash fiction from the perspective of very alien aliens! Many alien types, often experimental, all the persons (including indefinite fourth), are they stories or poems, who knows! #WeirdFiction #BookSky #FlashFiction

So far, ice from the winter storm has killed fewer Americans than ICE from the Trump administration. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

I've been developing a new story for a science-fantasy series set in the distant future, like Vance's DYING EARTH. This one has been gestating for 4 years. But now I think I have a handle on it. Six of these have been published so far. I feel that I need 2 more for a collection. 📚🪐 💙

We are holding a virtual vigil for Minneapolis, featuring poems and prose from writers in support of ICE Out of Minneapolis. @martheaus.bsky.social kicks it off with a poem inspired by similar circumstances in DC; watch here: youtu.be/KvuEC9w8tUw 💛💜💛💜

Police in the US have killed 42 people so far in 2026, a small number of which have been at the hands of ICE/CBP. These federal goon squads are one part of a rotten whole.

PLEASE read this one. Kinda required reading. If you agree, which I hope you do, print in color and magnetically attach to your refrigerator. It is marvelous and very clear to all who visit: this is what we stand for. PERIOD.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

OMG! I just got internal bleeding from pretending to be hit by a car.

Many of my "teenage Sherlock Holmes" tales in BEFORE BAKER STREET are sf-adjacent. He engages with Captain Nemo, Charles Dodgson, Bram Stoker, Phileas Fogg, Dr. Doolittle's assistant Tom Stubbs, a certain time-traveler, et al. alsirois.com/my-work/ www.amazon.com/dp/B0F2HHDW9... 📚🪐 💙

Nora B. Peevy interviewed me for her Substack blog, The Butchered Writer. Here's the link: thebutcheredwriters.substack.com/p/author-int... #booksky #indieauthor

Let's be clear. Donald Trump will indict the Fed Chair, kidnap foreign leaders and kill American citizens in MN if it distracts you from asking WTF is in the Epstein files because HIS BASE doesn't like pedophiles. None of this is normal. But everything he does is from weakness right now.

I haven't seen this reported elsewhere, but I am inclined to believe it if these ICE-holes.

Noem says hundreds more ICE agents are expected to arrive in Minneapolis today and tomorrow. Please be prepared. Set up a network, check on neighbors regularly, know your rights, and have an action plan in place and ready.

Former Assoc AG Vanita Gupta asks the right question: “Are the feds conducting any real investigation of the agent’s actions, or instead focused on trying to justify what happened by tarring the victim as a domestic terrorist?” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/10/u...

This short film is, in my opinion, a masterpiece. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
