It's worldbuilding day! Which means I get to dive into climate and economic models, but also that I have to deal with the existential distress of encountering all the government science websites that have had data redacted or are no longer being updated under this administration.
I must admit, I'm a little bit concerned about the number of experts I know who think this is a serious threat.
Americans have spoken....

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:
I made a horrible decision last night and told chat that I’d do a 24-hr livestream if we raise $100k with these streams by the 19th.
So if that’s an incentive to tune in… there you go.
Michigan Avenue right now.
I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
This is my favorite reference of the day.
Oh I'm so glad you enjoyed it! If you're up for leaving reviews and Amazon and Goodreads, that really helps independent authors.
I am actually working on multiple tie-in novels to the "Hostess" story.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:
This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.
New short story is currently free on Amazon! An abridged version of "Hostess" was first published in Analog Science Fiction & Fact in Jan/Feb of 2022. This unabridged version is now available as a standalone for the first time. #sciencefiction #books #shortstories

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.

We can see you! It's exciting to see you here!
I am pleased to meet you!
The State of Illinois is closely monitoring the federal deployments in the Village of Broadview.
Public safety is always my top priority, and the Illinois State Police remains in close communication with the Broadview Police Department to monitor and maintain public safety.
It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.
BREAKING: The FBI has fired agents photographed kneeling during a 2020 racial justice protest that followed the death of George Floyd, AP sources say.
STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.”
Nailed it.
It won't be immediately reported as such but this marks one of the deepest, darkest days in decades for global climate health, democracy and for global stability.
All for a bit of $.
