Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

House HHS Appropriations Bill Would Devastate Trans Adult Healthcare Nationwide The bill would bar federal funding for any "social, psychological, behavioral, or medical intervention" to treat gender dysphoria.

I need you to call your reps and tell them to oppose the HHS appropriations bill. They are trying to sneak a nationwide total trans healthcare ban in it regardless of age.

This is good!

@taliad.bsky.social and I were interviewed by a local online paper about the game we're developing, its origins and influences, what we've been playing together lately, the joys of co-op puzzle-solving gameplay, and more! 😄

Agent Epsilon - Dark skin and hair, teal and charcoal mod mini-dress, warm smile - chats with Inspector Ewan Danger - blond, chiseled features, natty vest and tie and a big tan trenchcoat. They're standing in front of the old New Scotland Yard, with Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament in the background. The scene is all blue and the art style is mid-century modern. The player has two choices on-screen for how Agent Epsilon can interact with Ewan: "Give a Friendly Greeting" or "Chat Him Up!" (British Slang for "flirt with him.")

The PSI demo is now live on both Steam and Itch.io (where you can just play in browser and not download anything if you want!) See links for both in bio.

One of my favorite comments from our demo launch: "More video games should have unabashed reciprocated flirting."

We were there and saw your sign! Just didn’t realize it was you holding it. Thought it was a good turnout!

The right is working from a view that says if you’re wealthy and healthy then god favors you, and if you’re poor and sick then god doesn’t. They justify grabbing all the money because it’s proof of their worthiness and they justify hurting the poor and sick because it’s proof of their unworthiness

Has any new drug saved your life or the life of someone you know? If so, you can thank the NIH, which Trump and Musk are illegally destroying, in violation both of the law creating the NIH, and appropriations laws telling NIH what money to spend and how

Can we send all the dead and dying people to DC and Mar a Lago?

Here’s a video of my smart cat.

A group of uncleared, unvetted, civilians have gained access to all of my federal records including military personnel, retirement and disability. They are reportedly feeding them into AI. I want them arrested and charged with federal crimes.

Right fucking now!

How is this even a discussion?

Why the water Trump ordered released in California won't help Los Angeles firefighting The water released from two California reservoirs will likely go to waste, not help Los Angeles with firefighting, experts say.
