Exactly right, and therefore important not to give credit for an investigation of an obvious atrocity. Appropriate responses are apologies, resignations, firings, impeachments. The individuals who killed people should be tried before a judge and jury.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.

Offer: free 30-40 mins virtual author visits for MPS elementary classrooms going virtual to stay safe from I.C.E.’s domestic terrorism of my hometown. DM me. Please share.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Ana on the Edge is about a 12 year old ice skater navigating being nonbinary in a gendered sport. The fact that it's considered controversial enough to reprimand and put a teacher on leave over simply having it in her classroom library is incomprehensible to me.

Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t reinstated because Disney executives had a change of heart. He’s back on air because those executives got a wakeup call from the American public. People all over the country showed up, canceling subscriptions, and protesting outside ABC and Disney, Nexstar, and more. 🧵

Censorship is here and it’s come in the form of corporations censoring themselves in order to win favor with the regime.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Two recent picture books from the library that I adored. #kidlit @carolinekpritchard.bsky.social @jesskeatingbooks.bsky.social

First, Donald Trump used the Marines and the National Guard to support his mass deportation agenda in Los Angeles. Now, he's using similar tactics in D.C. like a tinpot dictator. Don't look away. Don't stay silent. If you do, don't be surprised if it's your city next.

These guys don't care about labels like "deer resistant"

Sent my friend who has recently been diagnosed with Lyme disease a link to The Cut article about Justin Timberlake saying he has Lyme disease with the message, You're in good company. AITA

Housework is a scam. You finish one round of chores, then you have to start the next, meanwhile your cat vomits again. 😵‍💫

DOLL PARTS is out now in the U.K. A suspense novel about grief, girlhood, secrets, and the haunting legacy of a mysterious college club. If you love: complicated female friendship, dark academia, Sylvia Plath, dual timelines …this one’s for you.

Hamilton nearly got to realize his dream of riding a deer when he bolted out the front door and happened upon our resident deer in the garden. #catsofbluesky

This is about more than immigration. It’s about fighting for basic human rights and preserving our democracy.

A classic coordination failure: everyone makes excuses for why they go along with authoritarianism rather than resisting. And democracy and the rule of law crumble. We thought our institutions and culture were stronger, but we are following Hungary's path.

Not to brag, but I'm very excited to have an early copy of DOLL PARTS by @pennyzang.bsky.social 🩷 #booksky

The First Amendment guarantees the essential right to assemble peacefully to advocate for any cause. Reports that the Trump administration may be using invasive surveillance technology to monitor protests against their anti-immigrant polices without a warrant are deeply alarming.

When the Japanese American National Museum is saying this take it seriously.

Oh hey look, I'm in this one 🙃 (subtly - I'm the declarant from Vermont) If you don't think it's a big deal that the government is refusing to issue me a passport that matches all my other legal identity docs, a reminder that some of us travel internationally for work or other reasons and now can't
