Whoa. Hello new followers!
I post about my cats, rescue kittens, knit, quilt, and sometimes write books.
I require tea in vast quantities to maintain equilibrium and always choose violence. I use the word “fuck” in all of its many forms judiciously and with extreme prejudice. Rage is my default.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

In response to the murder of Renee Good, every U.S. state can and must pass a version of the Illinois Bivens Act, allowing anyone to sue a person who violates constitutional rights during civil immigration enforcement.

I want to do a thread on "Small Press Red Flags" brought to you by years in the trenches combined with some issues I’m seeing pop up again in writer circles.
Note: an isolated incident might not be a red flag, but cumulative flags are always worth examination.
