@wademinter.com down at the glass for this #CanesAlumni game

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

When MTG goes back to her old ways my “I told ya’s” are gonna be lit

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

Does anyone believe that the Epstein files that are getting released haven’t been altered?

First time this year I’ve been in the barn to hear @wademinter.com say “one minute remaaaaining in the period.” #canes #caneshockey #carolinahurricanes

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

I did a thing!! It’s a full on novel (maybe novella is 64k words) set post Veilguard (in an AU where the Veil falls). An incredible artist did multiple amazing art pieces for it. www.tumblr.com/thedragonage...

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

One time when I was traveling I DoorDashed a sport bra and the shopper subbed the 36DD I ordered with a 36B. Just laundry folding thoughts.

Sometimes, we need to toot our own horn.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

It’s a nice night for s’mores.

Here’s a thing I’ve been up to: www.tumblr.com/thedragonage... #DragonAgeBigBang #FanFic #DragonAge #AO3 #StillSecretWords

Jane Goodall died. She was my hero when I was seven years old, and every book I read about her and every interview I ever saw only reinforced my first impression of her amazingness. We were all blessed that the world had 91 years of Jane Goodall. She was an incredible human being.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Someday, my daughter may wish to play hockey at a higher level. Luckily, her mom has all of her greatest hits recorded. She had a shot on goal and a goal in this 18 second video…and boy. I did a great job capturing them. #FutureHockeyPlayer #PWHL #Canes #PHHL #BestKidEver #PWHLofTheFuture

Instead of Rick Rolling people, Mahna Mahnaing people should have been a thing. youtu.be/TbZ_hTEOKZc?...

The more I think about this, the angrier I get. Not just because the crook Homan has the audacity to demonize immigrants as criminals and destroy families and communities but also because Black electeds always get prison time for so, so much less than this.

So Trump gets DOJ to drop an obvious bribery case against Tom Homan, then fires the US Attorney who found insufficient evidence to prosecute Letitia James, then threatens to fire Pam Bondi and replace her with dunce Lindsey Halligan unless she immediately indicts his enemies.

How is this reality?

I do not celebrate Charlie Kirk’s death. However, the fact that the right is holding him up as a martyr is weird and strange and awful. Especially strange since Kirk was pushing for a release of the Epstein files. The same files trump wants hidden. He’s more useful to the GOP as a martyr.

Today I got to use the word “theophany” in a sentence for the first time in my life. I pronounced it wrong. I shall never speak again, obviously.

The future the right wing hopes to implement for Charlie Kirk. Don’t let them.

“It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment” -Charlie Kirk 10/14/1993-09/10/2025

CNN has a panel talking about Epstein and the host just mentioned (almost as an aside!) that one of the guys is a lawyer defending Ghislaine Maxwell. And rather than being a guest who's grilled about the case, he's treated like any other panelist who just happens to be minimizing the crimes.

We will remember who stood attacked us, who idly by, and who fought for our rights. The Supreme Court is destroyed. It has been for a while, but the final nail has been driven in.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

#BlackEmporium #AO3 #giftexchange revealed works today. Authors are still anonymous, but I received three super lovely gifts!!

Serving size on the jar of olives was “one olive” and not “one jar of olives.” Ridiculous.

I get so angry at the thought that the same people clutching their pearls about a tan suit are cheering on an incoherent baboon in a baseball hat giving a speech wearing a baseball hat with his shirt unbuttoned and no tie. It’s just one of many cases of doublethink. “It’s fine if my guy does it.”

It’s Friday! So here’s some #DAFanFriday fun It’s my work in progress for Saoirse Roísín Trevelyan and King Alistair… sloooow burn, Alternate Canon, DAI fun Progress is slow since I’m mostly working on DABB and DA Reverse Bang.. but still working archiveofourown.org/works/66703795

I mean…he did bankrupt that casino.

Working on editing my long fic for #DragonAgeBigBang And while it’s all secret and I can’t say anything about my fic or about who my artist is, I can say: My artist is AMAZING and I am losing my mind waiting for the reveals which won’t happen until …November or later! 😛 #DragonAge #FanFic #AO3

If you’re critiquing California redistricting without offering the context of the antidemocratic stuff going on in Texas, you’re doing this wrong.

Martin Luther King Jr once said, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” While that is reassuring, I think the United States is currently testing the tensile strength of that arc with all the injustice, hatred, and corruption it is piling on.

I’ll admit, my own historical focus was southern politics *after* Emancipation, but I read a great deal on the history of slavery in the United States. (+colonial era) And I can tell you, to complain that there’s too much emphasis on how bad slavery was at the Smithsonian is monstrous. Fuck Trump🧵

This wasn’t just a security breach, documents obtained by NPR from a hotel guest who found them on a printer revealed something even more disturbing: a planned luncheon in honor of Vladimir Putin. The menu literally read, “In honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin.”

Holy shit.

Watched “Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812” tonight and absolutely adored it. Went on to it fairly blind (just knew it was a bit of War and Peace), and it was amazing. Truly funny, and *great* music. @mirvish.bsky.social

Meiselas: Just looking at that shit-eating grin on Pam Bondi, who's covering up for a pedo sex trafficking ring behind them...Just mocking the American people while Americans are suffering. What pathetic, vile pieces of trash. Every single one of them in that Trump regime.

Has cholesterol saved the world yet?

Well, this is flattering. I may add "Deranged BUM" to my profile www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

Once again, as always, it is appropriate to say #FuckEA.
