Writing, or trying to write but more just taking care of the kiddos. Also reading, reading about writing, trying to finish a novel (both reading and writing one). T1D mom. Humbled daily. Unapologetically pro-abortion.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nationβs people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustnβt let this war do so.
Attention Iranians supporting trump's war, because you hate the mullahs :
Fuck you too!
(An Iranian that really hates mullahs!)
THIS.
If youβre a Democrat in Congress who is considering supporting Trumpβs illegal war in Iran, please consider self-immolation instead.
Definitely the first State of the Union where the president talked about the military killing unarmed fishermen as a laugh line

The groove continues because of this.
Pritzkerβs invoice to White House:
(via @nbcnews.com) @govpritzker.illinois.gov
Reporter: Hakeem Jeffries called you a wannabe king
Trump: Low IQ
Reporter: Why wonβt you just work with Congress?
Trump: I donβt have to.
Unless you have a 5-year-old and a 2 year old on top of the infant....
The AI train left the station. Itβs everywhere. We need *government* oversight on businesses that are harming the environment and local communities through the rapid spread of massive data centers. The same *government* Russell Vought is to dismantle.
And... AI literacy is going to be essential.
Officer accidentally discharges rifle during search at Lake Nona Middle School, Orlando Police say
Epstein survivor Anouska De Georgiou: The fact that the very people who are meant to lead this country have completely retraumatized usβ¦ itβsβI meanβitβs like being raped by the Department of Justice.
My first instinct is to laugh, but then I remember that American history is filled with men and women who were as lethal as they were ridiculous. - Ta-Nehisi Coates
They want us working earlier and til we die to pay for their tax cuts for the rich. Supervillains.
DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they canβt handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range.
And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.
Yes.
My five year old hears about gangrene and homelessness and all the rest. Not sure what's "age appropriate" since some kids don't have a choice but to know.
In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maherβs detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Waelβs caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didnβt get to say goodbye.
ICYMI β In negative degrees weather they took a LEGAL naturalized citizen out in his underwear, after trashing his house.
They released him an hour later.
The cruelty is the point. (From @thejfreakinc.bsky.social )
Men who defend Jonathan Ross for murdering Renee Good are not safe to be around. End those relationships.
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are whatβs paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.
ICE officers slipping on ice while trying to terrorize communities is the most accurate metaphor imaginable. No balance. No footing. No moral ground. Just cruelty, incompetence, and gravity doing its thing.
He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.
Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We arenβt supposed to have secret police in America.
Right after RenΓ©e Goodβs disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles.
Absolutely vile.
βEmerson does not have a mother today because one of you murdered a woman in cold blood yesterday.β
Fox Producer: Jesse Watters would like to invite you on his show
AOC: He has sexualized and harassed me on his show.
FP: Thatβs not true
AOC: He accused me of wanting to sleep with Stephen Miller. So why donβt you tell me what you think is acceptable to tell a woman.
For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Goodβs vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies
