Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family.

I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

A quick 🧵of the incredible sights in cities across the USA right now.

Millions are on the street speaking out against Trump & Musk trampling the Constitution.

Let’s start here with Salt Lake City 😳👏

Proud of my city for showing up strong today. I'd estimate at least 15k people there at the MN State Capital.

Longest Senate filibusters ever:

Strom Thurmond - opposing voting rights for black people

Ted Cruz - opposing health care for poor people

Cory Booker - opposing fascism

I am so moved by Cory Booker's marathon speech.

It was articulate, emotional, gutsy, & genuinely helped me think about how to communicate the dangers of this administration more effectively.

Also made me reflect on how I can be a more active proponent of change.

Dems better keep that energy.

I am happy to report, I had a beta reader finish my manuscript in less than three days.

Binging is such a compliment.

“I just didn’t connect with the character” usually means that the writer hasn’t dived into that character’s interiority.

Every scene should demonstrate how a character feels, how that feeling manifests in their body, how it impacts their choices and outward reactions.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?

🚮
My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.

My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.

I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
 
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.

Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

Just finished the Broken Earth trilogy. I badly wish all of my friends have read it as well. I want to talk about it. What a series.

OK, the tears are falling... the Lions' brutal loss, the senseless TikTok ban, the new admin being ushered in Monday...

It's difficult to stay optimistic some nights. Sometimes, you just gotta admit that "wow, this all really sucks right now."
