Using taxpayer dollars to build a detention center in one of the most dangerous environments in the U.S.? No thanks.

“Alligator Alcatraz” is ALREADY flooding – it must go.

That’s why I’m demanding ICE and DHS stop construction.

“The Art of War” is 1 day overdue. I didn’t get around to reading it. Now I can’t find it.

My career as a general is off to a great start.

Bend, Oregon. I’ve never seen this many flags at a protest, carried unironically, proudly. June 14th in history: Americans rallied a continental army, adopted a flag, repelled a dictator, recaptured a flag. #flagday #nokingsday

When will we cease to recognize ourselves? Check out this whole thread, or the Substack. “We’ve infected ourselves with fear, with self-righteousness, with the belief that empathy is weakness. The disease is in our brains, rewiring how we see the world, how we treat strangers, how we define worth.”

I'm slowly piecing out this flash fiction series because that's how I wrote them - in pieces and sketches. (I did eventually make a chart for character ages and a timeline of events, but I promise to spare you that. #fiction #flashfiction

I'm working on a substack on a brief exchange with a counter-protester at yesterday's Hands Off! rally. But for now, have some flash fiction - hopefully the first of a series.

Donald “Penguin Fighter” Trump slaps tariffs on uninhabited and sparsely populated islands. 🥊🐧 No word from the penguins on whether American seniors will be allowed to emigrate there looking for work after their social security payments dry up and their retirement accounts crash.
