A little bitty plot bunny started hopping around in my noggin' last night and I finally gave in and got as much of the idea put to paper as I could - and now I'm putting my plot bunny notebook at the bottom of my desk drawer so I can focus on my current draft.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

I don't know if it's ironic or tragic (or both) that this piece by @brotigupta.bsky.social from 2018 still works all too well.

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.”

I know NaNoWriMo is no more, but as we stare down November I lament once again why it was ever held in November and not, I dunno, February.
November = family here for a week or more, Thanksgiving, Christmas shopping
February = cold, dreary, I don’t want to leave the house anyway

They are crossing the line. At what point is the line just gone?
A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto
She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card
Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.
She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.
It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

A quick reminder that the House is not in session because Speaker Johnson CANCELED it, not because of the current shutdown.

I think this one is even harder than giving up Target, but I’m disgusted. Looks like I'm canceling my #spotify subscription until the ICE ads are removed. Streaming hate is a choice and I refuse to fund it. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/En7CFjMI

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

"a tradition"???
It's literally the law.
This matters because the law is not self-executing. If we treat it as non-binding, its constraints grow even looser.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.
Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.
