A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

Hi Congress, how’s it going? What’d you do today? Got any fun impeachments planned or not so much?

Just in case anyone wants a reminder of how Trump helped create the situation he's now using as justification to bomb Iran. abcnews.go.com/Politics/ira...

I am once again reminding everyone that the President does not get to declare war, that is solely the responsibility of Congress.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

Donald Trump and JD Vance are about to open up Iraq War 2.0, and Democratic leadership is just…nowhere to be seen?

The scale of the rally in Portland is MASSIVE. Simultaneously crossing the Morrison and Hawthorne Bridges in one long parade of democracy. Tens of thousands of people. #NoKings

Portland, Oregon #NoKings

Thousands showed up in Portland, Oregon today! #NoKings.

Yes to the Constitution. Yes to immigrants. Yes to rule of law and due process. Yes to human rights and civil rights. No to fascism. No to billionaires. No to ICE. No to kleptocracy. NO KINGS IN AMERICA.

No kings

We feed you. They hunt us.

Do you think the thorough education @dieworkwear.bsky.social gives this guy got through? I have such low faith in people’s abilities to learn and change their minds, but this is *chef’s kiss*

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment. Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

New York: spread the word!

A win! The bill: “Prohibits discrimination when selecting or retaining school library materials, textbooks or instructional materials or when developing and implementing a curriculum.” Good job, Oregon! 🙌🏼

Just a couple of stable geniuses being stable. So genius. So stable. Ruling the world like champs, showing us how it’s done.

I sure do love KING KONG VS GODZILLA (1962), I mention for no particular reason

The best part of any festival is, of course, the readers—and the other authors!—and it was so cool to meet French fantasy readers and French fantasy authors at Echos & Merveilles ❤️ (Everyone is linked at my IG if you want to find them :)

“And so the Greeks send me this horse, we’re talking about one of the most beautiful horses you’ve ever seen. So big. So strong. Normally they keep this kind of horse for themselves but they were such big fans they said sir, please take our big wonderful horse we’ll even bring it to your house”

Mother’s Day pics, include my mama and my kiddo, brunch pastries, and my parents’ enchanted garden ❤️❤️❤️

The first Democratic governor who sends their state troopers into an ICE field office to free someone ICE has kidnapped is going to be president in four years.

“Be an optimist, read the imaginary.” Good advice from a French bookshop window 👍🏻👍🏻

A look at the Echos & Merveilles festival in France last week! It was so fun to get to chat with French readers—and French fantasy authors!! (And also eat pastries 🥐😛)

I watched Conclave on the plane last week, and now feel like I can visualize exactly how this all went down.

The pet dragon showing at Echos & Merveilles festival was pretty fabulous ❤️❤️ (Has anyone seen these kind of dragons in the US? I hadn’t and now I need one…)

I spent the day in Toulouse, France yesterday. It was gorgeous ❤️

This is Lilith, another one of the creatures at Halle de la Machine in Toulouse 😍😍 Imagine seeing her make her way through the city to rendez-vous with the Minotaur!

An incredible thing that I saw yesterday in Toulouse! Behold the Minotaur, by La Machine, the incredible French company that make colossal creature machines—You can see the two “machinistes” in orange who are puppeteering it, and the passengers on its back!!

Fuck this. Nope. Dead to me.

Oh my god 😔😔😔 If my hatred could make hell real, there would be a special spot in it for Stephen Miller. And maybe hell IS real! I hope so. No earthly punishment could ever, ever be enough.

The fascist playbook in action:

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! Picked up a few things at Broadway Books and Cosmic Monkey in Portland today—including Blackwing’s 2025 Independent Bookstore Day pencils 🙌🏼

ABOLISH ICE 🤬 ABOLISH REPUBLICANS ☠️

What we *could* have gotten for snacks… (look at the yellow olives flavor 😂) 😵😵

Let’s do this! #sinners @jimdibartolo.bsky.social

Hey guys! My writing community’s weekly Zoom is open to the public this Sunday for our April book club with author Jenni Howell, whose first novel, Boys With Sharp Teeth, debuted on the NYT bestseller list!!! Come join us at 11am Pacific: www.patreon.com/posts/127302...

Oof, I knew measles sucked but I didn’t know it did this:

In a Miss Rumphius way, have you done something for the sole purpose of leaving beauty for the people who come after you? Do you think about it, have any plans? It’s such a lovely thought, to leave a legacy of wonder ❤️

These peonies always bloom way ahead of the rest and they’re so magnificent, I always feel a burst of gratitude to the unknown soul who lived in our house in the past and planted them ❤️

@kenmartin.bsky.social Hey Ken, just want you to know that I support @davidhogg.bsky.social’s DNC, not yours. We’re sick of the mealymouthed centrist, do-nothing, voter-blaming fundraisers that pass for Democrats and desperately need new blood and new meaning. Thwart this at your peril.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The author lineup for Echos et Merveilles festival next week! If you’re in the Toulouse area (or want to be 😉) come out for live music, costumes, fantasy books, and more!
