Hi Bluesky, I'll reintroduce myself: I'm the author of ten novels with the eleventh done and announcing imminently. In better times, I'm posting about my dogs, my teens, my Taylor Swift op-eds and my recommended reads. In worse times (aka now), I'm generally a feminist bitch who punches upward. Hi!
It doesn't matter if *you* think he shouldn't be in the U.S. It doesn't matter if *you* think he committed a crime.
The Supreme Court decided that he should be returned. This is what matters. Your *feelings* about this are irrelevant. The court decided. And is being ignored.
This is fascism.

You just know that there are at least a few discussions in newsrooms today where they are sitting there gobsmacked at what Jeffery Goldberg had the stones to do, and they are saying, "wait, is this what we should be doing too??!?" Yes, motherfuckers, yes.

My suggestion to JD Vance: if you find peaceful protests against you to be annoying and inconvenient, you are welcome to resign.

If you’re not standing with Ukraine, you’re standing with a dictator who believes that anything he wants in the world should be his if he starts it. Am I talking about Trump or Putin? Impossible to see any daylight between the two, tbh.

It's weird how when you tell anti-vaxxers to enjoy getting measles, they accuse you of saying something awful, as if their stance isn't an open door policy for infectious diseases. 🤷🏻♀️

All I wanted was to be able to open my phone and not mutter “what in the actual fuck” thirty times a day.

In case you still believe that Usha Vance is a victim here, she happily accepted a seat on the Kennedy Center board. In Handmaid’s Tale, the Wives enjoy their places of status right up until they lose a finger. Under his eye.

I don’t care what your reason was for voting for this man. When you or your loved ones get sick or face medical consequences, I will not shed one fucking tear. If that sounds callous, it’s only as callous as your vote was. The fallout from your ignorance are about to be irreparable.

In hindsight, it’s pretty clear that the Project 2025 people said: just get us in the White House and no one will stop us. It’s looking increasingly like they were right.

Every single day, the news is worse, and Americans are put in more and more danger. I realize it's selfish and I also realize that it probably can't happen, but I am ready for California to secede.

Canada and Mexico have done more to stand up to Trump than essentially any elected official in the United States. We are in their debt.

If you live in Indiana, it's a good time to call Sen Todd Young and thank him for having the fortitude to criticize Tulsi Gabbard and tell him you'll have his back if he votes against her confirmation to Trump's cabinet: 202-224-5623; 317-226-6700; 812-542-4820

Dismantling regulations that protect the country has consequences. If the Dems are even halfway decent at their jobs (tbd), they'll let anyone who is paying attention know that Trump took steps last week that made our airspaces less safe. He is a threat to all of us, regardless of political party.

The administration didn’t backtrack because of a single thing our representatives did. They backtracked because the public revolted. Get loud. Stay loud. The disobedience is the point.

This time last year, we were building line graphs of time zones and airspeeds to see if Taylor could make it back from Japan to Vegas for the Super Bowl. Simpler times, man.

Just a reminder that you don’t have to do the next 4 years like you did his last 4 years. Protect your peace, pick important battles, mute accounts that make you spiral. I can’t let my daily mental health hinge on his depravity again, and it’s ok to regroup and fight cleaner and better and smarter.

Mexico and Canada have firefighters on the ground and planes in the air. I don’t think I need to offer further commentary other than this is why you need allies. No one can survive on their own.

One thing to understand CA: we love it here. Many of us are here by choice, having moved for its promise & its beauty & its lifestyle. The news may report that we're a failing state but it's the opposite: a huge GDP, an open-minded spirt & the determination of people who packed up and headed west. 💙

To understand how decimating this is to anyone who has ties to LA’s Westside (where I live), my daughter has a core friend group of about 8 girls. Among this group alone, 3 of them lost their homes completely. Everyone here has the same story.

LA has enough to worry about other than that toxic narcissistic fuck shitting on our state, our Gov, our residents and our way of life. A leader with any ounce of courage and decency would put aside his ego for Americans who didn't vote him and try to earn our respect. He will never be my president.

I know I posted this morning about gravitating toward positivity on BlueSky but things are very bad right now in LA. We know half a dozen people who lost their homes within the past two hours. Climate change doesn't care who you voted for. It's here. Wake up.
