My town hall is getting started now, and I'll have a lot to say about how we fight back and hold Trump and Washington Republicans accountable.

He's referring to the amount of grift and graft.

As Nebula nominations are opening up, I would like to offer my novelette, "Phantom View," which is free-to-read at Reactor! It's a story of disabilities and the supernatural that I've always wanted to write.

It seems to me people are always looking for novelettes to consider for awards. Can confirm this is a good one. Check it out.

At first
I could not imagine
writing these
for 50 weeks.

Then
I could not imagine
writing these
for 100 weeks.

And then
I could not imagine
writing these
for 200 weeks.

But now
even after
writing these
for 300 weeks
I cannot imagine
writing them
for 500 weeks.

My lawyers at @rcfp.org still haven't received the DC police's brief in response to our request for summary judgment. It's due by EOD today. Regardless, we will push forward until ALL footage from the illegal raid on USIP is released.

We've heard so much about the DOGE raids but have very little physical evidence of what they were actually like. It's weird to be able to see an instance of it actually happeningβ€”the mundanity of it all. how the cops were jovially complicit.

We see enough of these people's faces many times a day.

It can't be good for us.

I don't want to post Noem's pic, but the idea of anybody in the Trump regime calling other people "killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies" is laughable.

Donald Trump: The UK is in societal collapse.
Me looking around at the societal collapse of the UK: I mean, it's a bit wet and windy here, but I don't think we're quite at the Mad Max level yet.

Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead.

Idk, just spitballing here.

This is a very good and unflappable job by John Berman of CNN. Worth watching whole segment.

Yes, the only reason American car manufacturers haven't been making "tiny cars" is the lack of presidential decree. πŸ™„

Why The Hepatitis B Birth Dose Is At Risk From New CDC Vaccine Advisors New members of the CDC vax advisory committee (ACIP) are opposed to newborn Hepatitis B vaccine, believing them not needed for most, and dangerous. Data contradicts that.

The incredible @drjudystone.bsky.social is out with an excellent piece on ACIP.

If you’re not following her, you should. She’s got her finger on the pulse of this travesty.

Minneapolis business closes early after visit by ICE agents Hola Arepa in Minneapolis was heading into dinner rush Wednesday night, when two plain-clothed individuals entered the restaurant, saying they're from the Department of Homeland Security.

'"I think it's posturing. I think it's intimidation," Christina Nguyen, Hola Arepa owner and chef, said.'
