Proof your public library loves you: they leave you alone when you're reading, they love when you bring your kids over, and they'll literally let you borrow any book you want...even their hardcovers

Crypto,com donated $5 million to Trump on January 23rd. On February 17th, Trump’s administration intervened in a federal lawsuit on their behalf. This is what a bribe looks like. popular.info/p/days-after...

Every time I see a report of ICE leaving Minnesota or Minneapolis I think "I wish" because uh, they're still here being assholes & terrorizing people, just not as much in some places but more so in other places best I can tell and of course people are still imprisoned in misery at Whipple & . . . 🧵

Totally agree. I often watch credits to find out what music was used!

If a Prince can be held accountable, so can a President.

I write books. Feels like a silly thing to do at times. But I was reading Dorothy Sayers, and her protagonist author makes a point: if you’re an excellent barber it would be silly to work as a bad mathematician. I’m a writer. I scrape by on words and I make them matter. Because it’s what I do best.

I love Stephen Colbert.

Writing fiction is the exact opposite of a get-rich-quick scheme.

This is an excellent perspective on how people talk about generative AI. Well worth a read. liberatedwriter.substack.com/p/ai-inevita...

Today in "leaving money on the table"

People scream during moments of joy, culture, art, & visibility because love threatens systems built on fear. Love is why communities survive, it’s why art endures. The only thing more powerful than hate is love. Love always shows up louder, brighter, & stronger. #SheShed #DefendersofDemocracy

Three rules in FBI firearm training: 1. Always point your weapon downrange 2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot 3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

Wow, let me tell you how different a book can hit upon re-reading. Revisit your favorites. And even some of your misses. Perspectives change. #booksky

A reminder that the New England Patriots plane is flown by Omni air who contracts with ICE to fly people in chains to Africa and Asia several times per week. Go Seahawks.

This is an interesting read. A full month boycott of the companies he lists would hit hard...though, I'm not using OpenAI and damn sure not paying for it. But seeing as canceling Disney+ helped Jimmy Kimmel, it's high time to cancel again. www.profgalloway.com/resist-and-u...

I second this idea!

If you have a spare half hour, today's What the Heck Just Happened is particularly enlightening. To be fair, they're always enlightening, but something about this week's convo felt different. And if you don't know who these 2 women are, you get a good intro from HCR. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDa9...

I don’t like that just needing basic necessities feels like being bad with money now

She will be missed.

Catherine O’Hara of Beetlejuice and Schitt’s Creek has died at age 71. RIP to one of the all-time greatest women in comedy. people.com/catherine-oh...

100%. And neither should his family or foundation

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers. Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024. And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary. The system is rigged.

this is very true.

I think not enough white people are taking the voting rights issues seriously enough. They are killing people and then offering to stop killing if the state gives up the voter registration data. This should be setting off massive alarms for EVERYONE. (I’m looking at you, white people.)

Corner of Vin Scully and Stadium Way, Dodger Stadium.

Another reason to love Lady Gaga. Her version is outstanding. I hope the people who so desperately need the reminder of this song hear it. Even though, my inner-cynic knows those people are 'boycotting' the Super Bowl - or even if they hear it, it won't sink in. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3o5...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Minneapolis killings put a focus on use of body cameras Given their EXTENSIVE budget, body cameras should be mandatory. There is NO excuse for any law enforcement agency to say they shouldn’t wear & use body cameras on every patrol. Impose massive fines if they don’t. Require Body cameras

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

If your political party is making the argument that a guy with a gun is not allowed to defend a woman from a mob of masked men or else he's a "terrorist", I regret to inform you that you're the Baddies.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Okay. Time to call your democratic senators and tell them that Bovino’s demotion and humiliation WILL NOT SUFFICE to fund DHS.

The regime-affiliated oligarchs who bought up Twitter, the Washington Post, CBS, and TikTok didn't do so to turn a profit. They are taking control of the media to limit the public's ability to resist authoritarianism and oligarchy. If they run the outlets into the ground, that's fine.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Correct. The architect is Stephen Miller. The influence and style is white supremacist and neo-Nazi. The end goal is fascism.

I'm a non believer, but I love Diane Diane Shiffer

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution. If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

So simply naming someone is doxxing, but taking photos and license plate numbers to create a database of the opposition for government stalking and harassment purposes is not? Naming someone is not doxxing them, and moving them to another city to kill more is conspiracy against rights.

Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️
