U.S. involvement in this Iran-Israel conflict feels painfully reminiscent of the 2003 Iraq War — questionable authorization, weapons of mass destruction misinformation, and goals of regime change.

We now know that the GOP's Big Ugly bill would allow for the sale of 250 MILLION acres of public land. 5.4 million in Washington state.
We can't let them jam this through in secret.
Help me say it loud and clear for Republicans: Public lands belong in public hands.

We will all suffer if this bill goes through but rural and poor Americans will suffer the most. Hospitals will close. So will clinics.

Amazon’s CEO contributed just 0.4% of his taxable pay to Social Security last year.
Meanwhile, Amazon’s median-paid worker contributed 6.2%.
Amazon's workers paid a 15x higher rate of their taxable income into Social Security than their CEO.
Scrap the cap.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Authors & publishers of illustrated books: Credit illustrators when you talk about your books, esp if you are using their ART (including book cover art) in any promo graphics.
Bonus: this also helps show that a HUMAN CREATIVE is behind the art, not generative AI.

Betsy is a flippin' treasure. I've learned about so many great illustrators through her! And her shining a light is esp. appreciated when illustrators often get shunted back behind writers during book promo.

Call your governor -- tell them to use state police to stop ICE from detaining people without a warrant. No warrant = kidnapping. This is a fundamental 4th amendment issue.
