I'm editing an anthology about unlikable characters and seeking work from younger writers, 15-21. If you know of one such writer who might want to submit their work for consideration, please share this call for submissions: audacity.substack.com/p/acquired-t...

truly an astonishing story

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Over 31.8M women & girls have lost contraception access due to US aid cuts. Now the Trump admin plans to destroy $10M in contraceptives abroad. On #WorldContraceptionDay, we call out the human cost of removing access to essential health care.

For a potential event, I'm looking for a social media safety expert in the San Diego area -- someone who can talk specifically about ways tweens & teens can stay safe online (and particularly on social media). If you know someone who might fit the bill, please reach out! 🤗

Everyone has been asking for a plan of resistance. The Democratic Party hasn't really offered people a guide that preserves democracy and effectively fights autocracy. So I wrote one. Like much today, it's a work in progress. theatlantaobjective.substack.com/p/courage

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

Nothing like seeing your new book in your favorite bookstore! 🥰

I just backed Nancy Drew: The Case of the American Icon on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/cod...

it is really weird that publishing decided that instead of having a marketing budget, writers should just become cult leaders

Once people actually understand what Trump's policies mean, many of them change their minds. A reminder that our job, then, is to clearly and concisely explain the impact of the GOP cuts. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

LAPD out there like

As a New Jersey Democratic primary voter I have never felt this conflicted about my primary vote. Election Day is in a couple days and I have no idea who I'm voting for!

I was really hoping the inevitable breakup between these two fools would be more exciting.

We talked about DYNAMA when @barrylyga.com joined us to talk about Superhero Romance. We suggested ALL ABOUT US in a season two AMA episode. We recommended THE SOLDIER'S SCANDAL to Trent Crimm in Diamond Dogs Book Club. We discussed HER LADY'S LOVER in The Power of Historical Romance.

We saw Sinners last night and I can't stop thinking about it. Flawless.

Name a better feeling than your ARCS arriving 😍 (Ok, I could actually name a hundred off the top of my head, but still! A fun feeling!) Pre-order now: holidayhouse.com/book/famous-...

My love for Twin Peaks knows no bounds, so I am here for this @nerdist.bsky.social piece: 25 Ways TWIN PEAKS Changed Pop Culture (Hi, @markfrost.bsky.social!)

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

My statement on the charges filed against me:

Since abortion became almost entirely illegal in Texas in 2021, the state has seen a significant rise in the number of women who die in pregnancy or after giving birth. A new bill aims to change that.

It is INCREDIBLY disappointing to see publishing make this decision, relegating what had once been a publisher's responsibility to those least able to measure up, authors. Another consequence is that as we move forward, the only people to get book deals or have successful launches... 3/

This genuinely breaks my heart.

I just donated to @flfreedomread.bsky.social and you should, too! Florida is on the front lines in the war on censorship. My book BOY TOY has been banned in multiple districts there and honestly? I'm kinda sick of it. So please -- DONATE! Even ten bucks will mean A LOT!

Just incredible

It is Mary Wollstonecraft’s birthday. Her book "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" created what we now call feminism. It is the cornerstone of equality and one of history's most important ideas. So today I’ll be posting about Wollstonecraft's life and work. #BookSky #Feminism #BookHistory

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Guns are killing kids. Not autism. Gun violence is an epidemic. Not autism. We need a national registry for guns. Not autism. Anyone pushing to eradicate autism is pushing to eradicate autistic people.

The world is on fire but kids still need good books to read 🫠 Excited to share my first #middlegrade novel is coming 9/9 and you can preorder it now: holidayhouse.com/book/famous-...

It is 2002. I am 18 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2008. I am 24 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2020. I am 36 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2025. I am 41 years old. We are in a—

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

"If America hasn't broken your heart, you don't love her enough." - @booker.senate.gov 😭😭😭 I feel this part of Senator Booker's speech in my gut.

"So I confess that I have been imperfect, I confess that I have been inadequate to the moment, I confess that the Democratic Party has made *terrible* mistakes that have given lane to this demagogue." - @corybooker.com More of this, honestly, please. Acknowledge it. Please.

Cory Booker is doing something incredible on the Senate floor. If you're not watching, you need to watch: www.youtube.com/live/Ej6locU...

Also, you have to start SOMEWHERE. We’ve all been begging for elected Dems to stand up for months now. Booker is standing up. We shouldn’t be throwing rotten eggs at him.

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

Feeling especially proud today that we named our son Booker

there are like three overlapping scandals with signalgate — illegal distribution of sensitive government materials by top members of the administration, illegal attempt to circumvent records laws and possible unlawful use of military force — and democrats should be screaming about them all

Silicon Valley guys casting government employees as lazy, parasitic, and malevolent seems like a giant case of projection imo
