I had a friend who lives near the Canadian border make a custom request. She wanted to remind Canadians that the vast majority of Americans view them as allies, and know Canada is NOT for sale.

We can't let Trump ruin decades of good relations with our Canadian friends.

When I see headlines acting like it’s reasonable for the White House to be musing about the costs of invading and seizing Greenland, which would be a blatantly illegal war for territorial expansion

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

In other news, Mark Zuckerberg is evil. Seriously. He stole my book (and probably millions of others) and (illegally) used it to train AI to put us out of our jobs, writers. And paid us nothing. #FuckZuck

Good news from Colorado: A U.S. District Judge ordered a school district to restore library books they banned by next week, prohibiting the district from further restrictions on access to books that the school board objects to politically.

Federal judge orders Colorado district to return banned books to school libraries
The order prohibits the school board from removing books “because the district disagrees with the views expressed therein or merely to further their preferred political or religious orthodoxy.”

So @ellewildauthor.bsky.social over on threads made a great post. I'm tired of so many saying they are powerless. It's your country, your president and for the time being you still have power and a voice!

Trump just orchestrated one of the most shameful moments in US history.

We need *all leaders* outside the US to stand up to Trump.

For that we need to show they have our backing. Add your name and share this link widely, it has never been more critical to have our voices heard:

New car bumper magnet up:

Egg prices were supposed to come down, not airplanes.

Trump gutted the FAA and we're already seeing the consequences. I've never been a nervous flyer, until now. Eggs have been affordable, until now. Trump did that.

That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn't even an enemy you could put your finger on.
