J.D. Salinger's 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒚𝒆 was published on this date in 1951. Despite Salinger’s hesitations about publicity it became a best-seller almost immediately. At one time it was both the most banned book and the most frequently taught book in the country. #booksky #writingcommunity #authors

Eye on the bill, folks.

schrodinger’s ceasefire

It’s a concept of a ceasefire.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

This I believe.

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

How will the US even ever know if these strikes accomplished their purpose? And what if it was an Iranian nothing burger, and they had no imminent nuclear bomb? I guess it doesn't matter. We are at war. Now we deal with this debacle.

It’s the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

I love me some Santa Monica Sass! #NOKINGS

There are a couple of kids in my nephews's class who weren't born in the US, and the class has decided (w/o teacher input) that if ICE shows up in they're all going to pretend not to speak English. 10yos reinventing "I am Spartacus" because they don't want their friends to get disappeared.

Los Angeles. Just wow.

Reporter: I'm going to show you what 20,000 people in the streets of downtown Los Angeles looks like

#NOKINGS Very proud of the robust turnout in our little neck of the woods in Studio City, Los Angeles.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Newsom: "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Father's historic project."

Good advice.

I feel like we aren’t making a big enough deal about how insane this is

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Better safe than sorry… 🚨Heavy ICE Presence Expected in Los Angeles on Sunday. A bilingual warning is being shared with the community — including areas to avoid. Stay alert. Protect each other. Know your rights.

Statement from Gavin Newsom: “The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.”

The Dishonorable Marco Rubio brought The Addams Family's Thing to the hearing.

Pssst! Recent industry polls show that after genre, the narrator is the next biggest factor in choosing. Authors please mention your narrator (Marnye Young?) in your postings. She's narrated over 300 books & has a fan base that will help you sell more. And no, I''m not Marnye's mother. #audiobooks

I was panicked that my 7-year-old might freak out during the face melting scene in Indiana Jones but she said "I guess he shouldn't have opened that" as seriously as possible and I've been crying laughing for 10 minutes

Alcatraz is a distraction.
