We started a Discord for traditionally published authors with books coming out in 2026. It's gotten a good number of authors, but we require MORE! Yell at me if you'd like an invite.

Reminding everyone again that SNAP makes money and keeps (mostly) the elderly and children from starving. It is the ideal government program. It solves a problem and stimulates growth simultaneously. This bill is an abomination.
Huge sleeper issue is how states will (or won’t) be able to absorb huge SNAP cuts in BBB. www.inquirer.com/politics/pen...
Gov. Josh Shapiro said he’s not sure SNAP will be able to exist in Pa. under President Trump’s megabill
Pennsylvania won't be able afford the cost of federal food assistance if Trump's tax and spending plan becomes reality, Shapiro said.

The President’s decision to bomb Iran was grossly unconstitutional, since only Congress has the power to declare war. The President’s action will without a doubt lead to many American, Israeli and Iranian deaths and must be condemned in the strongest possible terms.

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

CLARIFICATION :
The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline.
They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY
So spread this around
They can be texted. They can be called.

"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

I hear a certain someone is having a sale next month.
I’m not bothered. I know I’m the better place to shop for books online because every purchase financially supports independent bookstores, which in turn helps their communities thrive.

You absolutely can lie via data & math & everything about how you present data is an argument for how to interpret/understand it
Everything we know is founded on best guesses & analogies

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.
He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.
He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.
This is political intimidation.

Whoa! NYC mayoral candidate and current city Comptroller Brad Lander seemingly arrested at the NYC immigration court while attending to escort someone attending their hearing.
Lander just got detained by federal agents as he tried to escort a man out of the courtroom. Lander was taken in an elevator with masked agents, along with one member of his NYPD security detail.

I still remember when Dr. Slepian was murdered. My best friend knew his son from Hebrew school. We were in middle school when it happened.
As a 52-year-old, I grew up with domestic right wing terrorist organizations threatening violence daily, and blowing up buildings and killing people periodically, throughout my whole political life: it was the anti-abortion movement.
The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it
