Oh and while we're at it, trans people are real, and they fucking rock.

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

Editing my book and I can’t help but smile at my characters and their growth throughout the story. I love these people so much and seeing them on the page is one of the coolest experiences.

Happy my birthday to each and every one of you! I hope you’re able to escape some of the chaos, if even just to breathe.

I am BEGGING y’all. Please stop posting photos of Trump or Musk… like, I’ll happily read your posts without them, but I scroll away so fast when I see their faces, missing your posts.

How is ANY of this helping lower grocery costs? Or inflation? Or gas? Where’s the relief I was supposed to feel on “day 1”? What happened to only being a dictator on day one? What happened to not knowing anything about “extreme” project 2025? Where’s the goal post now?

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

So it turns out when you DON'T go woke, you go broke. Trump's New DEI? Dying Economy and Inflation. It's only two weeks in and Trump is Making America Broke Again! www.forbes.com/sites/dereks...

Want to see advertisers lose MILLIONS this Sunday? A record-setting low for viewers during the Super Bowl would do that. Money talks and bullshit walks.

Writing and editing a book during these “unprecedented times” is wild. I use writing as my coping mechanism. In honor of that, I think I’m going to start posting lines from my book as I edit it as a timeline cleanse. Would that be of interest to anyone other than myself? #booksky

To all the people who didn’t vote or voted 3rd party because you “didn’t like either of them” I want to say, from the bottle of my soul, fuck you. Fuck you Fuck you. Fuck. You.

Friendly reminder, call your senators. I called both of mine and one has a full inbox and the other I talked to a staffer. They are getting tons of calls. They can hear us! Please don’t give up. I know it’s so hard not to. We can get through this, but only if we are united. (202) 224-3121

“Elon Musk Has Plunged America Into a Constitutional Crisis. He Must Be Stopped.” Powerful and much-needed appraisal from Will Stancil of the meaning of, and fallout from, this weekend’s takeover of the Treasury and USAID by Musk and his minions.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.

If you are having thoughts of harming yourself or taking your own life, please….call 988 to speak to someone now. Please.

The people who didn’t vote withheld their support not because they thought it was going to make something happen; people couldn’t stomach casting a vote for someone they knew wasn’t going to make anything happen but more death.

Cough cough... F around and find out! But Donny is still out here still trying to chop down the programs we pay for and need. We are keeping that pressure ON. Don’t worry, I ain’t letting up.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

I've said it before and I'll say it again -- We will never forgive you Trump voters for any of this.

Good morning!

This is absurd that this is even being discussed. Sign this petition and call your reps!

How’s everyone doing? Anyone need to talk?

I’m so excited that I could find the energy to work on my book today! This week has felt like a decade, but getting back to a world I created was such a nice escape. I can’t wait until it’s ready for arc readers!

Trans right are human rights.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

I hope all of you are doing alright today. It’s an emotional day for a lot of us. My friend just texted me a picture of her glitter boots and it made us both happy so try to find joy in the little things today instead of doomscrolling.

Whelp! Congratulations to the Democratic Party for giving Trump a layup slam dunk the DAY BEFORE his inauguration, you toothless, shit suckers.

Does anyone want to explain to the class that offering *the only solution* to a problem that YOU created is literally racketeering… or should I go ahead and take this one?

TikTok is NOT currently available in the App Store.

Let me be clear, I’m fucking furious still and could write a 270 page essay about the fury, but the sadness and hopelessness has receded.

Is it weird that I already feel such a sense of peace regarding the TikTok ban? Like my two parents were fighting (the gov and TikTok) and now I don’t want anything to do with either of them. Maybe this is the acceptance phase, but I feel oddly calm right now.

This is why I deleted all meta apps. I won’t be going back to TikTok if this is the case.

Whatever you do today with TikTok down, DO NOT USE META APPS. Do not open them. Do not use them to communicate. In fact, Delete the apps from your phones (even if temporarily) DO NOT USE META.

I’m way more sad than I was prepared for.

I didn’t know this app had video posting so here’s my cat watching her favorite tv show.

They banned abortion & TikTok before assault weapons… THEY BANNED ABORTION & TIKTOK BEFORE ASSAULT WEAPONS.
