THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER is a true story about the time I said "Screw it I won't" about corruption in cancer research. Now doing the same with fascism. What a time to be alive!

Meet Astaroth the cat-syph, protector of the Bruscha-Jeki Archives & BFF to the talking books known as living narrators.

He’s my favorite character to write about/undoubtedly the sneakiest.

Also, the telescope is modeled after the one my father taught me with. 🔭🤍 #booksky #writingcommunity

One of the things people fail to wrap their heads around is the connection between obesity and poverty. Healthy food is expensive. I grew up on the White Earth Reservation in Minnesota back when the Food Stamp program did not give food stamps to people on reservations, instead giving us commodities.
“Don’t be diabetic and eat better, poors.”

Not an exaggeration, that’s literally Bhattacharya’s plan.

When we said the Great Barrington Declaration smacked of eugenics, this is what we meant.
Jay Bhattacharya's plan for a new pandemic is for everyone to suddenly be healthy.

I have been harassed by the family of my rap*st via court and threats of court. Still in debt from the events + medical bills, and after events if anyone can help it’s greatly appreciated, if you cannot help please re-share. 🩷

Friends, you probably saw the massive ICE raids around Southwest Florida this past weekend. In the aftermath, many of our neighbors have lost their breadwinners and more. Save Our Democracy is working with local groups and networks to fill the gaps left by this state violence.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

I’m sitting among some of the finest men and women around. Veterans who played a role in the freedom I’m enjoying right now. We dine…together. I’m grateful.

I just became a supporting member of Red Emma's, a radical Black-owned bookstore in Baltimore.

If you have a local indie bookstore you love, see if they have a membership program or monthly events. It's an easy way to support our bookstores.

Trump is not even a dictator yet. He doesn't even have the US military on his side. He doesn't have control over educational institutions, local governments or courts. All he has, at the moment, is a fake reality-show-like political movement concentrated in a few extremist groups.

When people talk about this 3.5% rule, remember that dictator regimes have fallen for much less.

However, for the No Kings protect on Saturday, reaching 8.2 million (2.4%), is not what's most important. Look at Minneapolis and Washing DC:

29.41% and 25.81%

This is CRUSHING numbers.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

RALLY TO DEFEND DEMOCRACY! We stand with Rep. McIver — who was charged following a visit outside an ICE facility — as she faces pre-trial oral arguments in a fight that’s bigger than one person. This is about protecting our democratic rights. Make your voice heard on Oct. 21st.
