Can we all agree that a mentally defective person shouldn't have access to weapons of war?

A PSA from Thomas Massie:

As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular. So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!

Some of these cabinet officials are acting like presidential immunity applies to them. They might need to read that case.

"To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country – I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story." Governor JB Pritzker

My new mystery, YESTERDAY'S MURDER is now available at books2read.com/u/3LMDrD. Besides suspense, murder, and other skullduggery, it causes one to ask, "What would it be like to miss a large chunk of your life and THEN have to deal with people who wouldn't mind killing you?"

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

YESTERDAY'S MURDER is getting close to release...Preorder here: books2read.com/u/3LMDrD and be ready to read on August 3rd!

Any politician who has never flown on the world’s most famous pedophile’s jet should call for a bipartisan committee to investigate — and then release — the Epstein files. What a way to reach across the aisle.

Quick reminder that authors will love you just as much if you get their books from the library, or lend them from a friend, or grab a drenched, worn-out copy that you find lying in a rainy gutter. We just hope you enjoy the read. This was my message for #PrimeDay

Political violence must always be condemned.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

“One more question, sir. You wrote a book about the former president's cognitive issues, but the current president posted that the former president was executed in 2020 and replaced by a mindless, soulless robot with cancer. What am I missing here?”

Studies have shown that these nicknames resonated particularly well with Trump supporters and registered Republicans, suggesting that his labeling strategy was effective in reinforcing his base's views, a strategy that simplifies complex political narratives www.businessinsider.com/why-donald-t...

If you love a book, write a nice review. It gives the author encouragement for bad days when they want to take up scorpion petting. - @lianabrooks.bsky.social #WriterSky #BookSky #KidLit

Shots fired, Neil.

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

Sometimes I just stop, shake my head, and think how ridiculous it is watching my country be destroyed by a demented old man just because some white people are afraid of the future.

Is this anti-woke???

Right? 👇🏽🤢

The power of the people is always greater than the people in power.

Touché

Am I depressed because of what's happening or am I depressed because of the people who somehow didn't see it coming? Both. It's both.

Pls don’t repost this or Trump will expode his depends!!

Back in the world after the Great Michigan Ice Storm. Lots of downed trees to clean up, but otherwise good.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Hello? Is this thing on?! 🎙️ A French scientist flew to the USA. Border Patrol seized his phone, read his social media comments, denied him entry, sent him back to France They did not like his THOUGHTS and WORDS. They refused him entry to the USA. Because of his thoughts. Orwellian Thought Police

One of these things is not like the others

Epic idea
