@governorwalz.mn.gov @govpritzker.illinois.gov @governor.ca.gov Who is in charge if local police, ICE, CBP & Nat'l Guard are all in the same place? Who do citizens have to obey, and where can a person go for help if one of the other entities is posing a physical threat? (Especially on Oct. 18th)

Trump is taking over the Kennedy Center board, appointing himself as chair. No president has ever done this. The last time the arts were forced to align with government messaging? WWII Germany. This is a power grab, not culture. Speak out. #HandsOffTheArts

Since 2016 I've thought about this book a lot. Give it to people as a gift this year for birthdays, holidays, out of the blue. New copies, used copies, as an audiobook. Don't explain. Whether they're MAGA or Gen Z still figuring it out, fiction seeps in. open.substack.com/pub/junot/p/...

There are some who claim that Stephen King’s The Dead Zone predicted the rise of Trump, a novel about precognition becoming its own act of prescience. Stephen King himself has not shied away from the ...

If Covid made people think of Stephen King's The Stand, this year should be having people re-read The Dead Zone.

New hashtag? #Don'tMessWithMyTrans veterinarian. You mess with him and you are walking up to my door and messing with me. With the man who kept working during Covid, stood with me and let me drop my mask to kiss my girl goodbye. Who welcomed our 2 youngest into the Clowder. Who deserves better.

Dr. Phil is reportedly tagging along with ICE to film Trump's deportation raids in Chicago.
I'm reminded of the time he invited me on his show a few years ago (before he publicly revealed himself as an enthusiastic Trump supporter).

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.
No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."
Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."
It's a big step towards very bad things.

We must sing downfall until it rings in people's ears after we've gone hoarse. We must be the hand people hold to stare down "Are you now, or have you ever been", that sense of a shoulder nearby when people feel the chilly sense they stand alone. We are artists.

NO. No, you're no hero for interfering in a citizen's private medical care. Share this -- it deserves as much outcry as interfering with our choice to VOTE.
By pardoning antiabortion extremists convicted of clinic invasions and violence, Trump undermines federal protections for reproductive healthcare and paves the way for renewed chaos and fear.
