Fellow KidLit writers:

I’m begging you to stop with the twins separated at birth who miraculously run into each other later in life stories.

It is a played out trope that perpetuates harmful stereotypes about orphans, adoptees, and fosterees.

It is also lazy writing.

Winners Can't Take All in AI Competition to dominate the AI race comes at the cost of needed global advancement

My 80th anniversary tribute to Vannevar Bush's July 1945 manifesto: No winner can take all in #AI and we must keep it that way.

The Republicans timed the Medicaid cuts to hit right after the 2026 midterms so that the idiot masses will blame the Democrats after they take back the House.

The fiscal conservatives in the GOP just added $4 trillion to the deficit to give the wealthiest people on earth a tax cut. The pro-family party just took healthcare away from 17 million Americans to give ICE a bigger budget than Brazil’s military. The single most inhumane bill ever passed.

Never before in the history of this nation has such a large redistribution of income been directed upward, for no reason at all

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend”

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers.

That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

I know for a fact that citizens would not be getting tear gassed by ICE and DHS in Los Angeles in June 2025 if we elected the other viable candidate for president.

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

If you are a Asian woman immigrant mother and business owner who has had to effectively raise her husband as well as be his partner, and you have disappointed your father, your husband and your daughter, and now your government, a series of universes where you are alternately a hero or a villain is actually a great way to describe how your problems are systemic, the product of a series of systems that are meant to deny your personhood and actualization while insisting on your complicity.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.

Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.

Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP are choosing to do this.
