Right now there's a clear and obvious relationship between social media and anti-social behavior, and we cannot go on like this.

You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)?

Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next.

Ron, I get that you're angry. I get that you want accountability. You probably want a little revenge. Probably a lot of revenge. But your comment is completely absurd. It's clownish. It's inhumane. You're better than this. And you should be better informed.

@altnps.bsky.social Dear Park Service. So...you want a boycott of FL and the new-but-hardly-only Concentration Camp. Why target us? We've lost the Canadian Snowbirds. We've lost the European traveler. And now you want us to lose the US traveler.

Why aren't you targeting the suppliers instead?

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

COLLINS: Can President Bukele weigh in on this? Do you plan to return Garcia?

BUKELE: How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous

TRUMP: These are sick people

So many of the themes in my most recent novel, THE GLASS BOX, have been showing up lately: the power elite working to discredit and discourage the protest movement, over-reacting with charges, declaring protestors de facto mentally ill, and the importance of resistance by even one person.

@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com I have an eARC of "Harlan Ellison's Greatest Hits". I've only read a few of his stories before. Can you please suggest one or two in this book that are the best for characters? I adored Harlan the man but never found a story that touched my emotions so far. Thanks.

Thread - spread the word!
A few days ago I met a pal, an OB-GYN who is working at a service that sends abortion pills (mifepristone and misoprostol) to women who need them in states that ban abortion. She asked me to help spread the word about how to use the service, and asked me to ask you guys to pass on the info. 1/6

You don't have to go back in time and kill baby Hitler to make the world a better place.

What you can actually do is prevent the NEXT Hitler and you don't even have to smother any babies. Just show up and vote. And bring your friends.

Want a better future? Be a better citizen.
