My novel Cobalt City: RESISTANCE from 2018 was explicitly about Trump. And superheroes.

A tweet from the user "BrooklynDad_Defiant!" with the handle "@mmmpadellan ". The tweet reads: "HOLY SHIT, Rep. Jasmine Crockett: 'We are going to be in your faces, we're gonna be on your ass, we're going to make sure you understand that this is what democracy looks like!'". Below the tweet text, there are three flame emojis. The embedded video shows Rep. Jasmine Crockett speaking at a public event. She is standing at a podium with a microphone, surrounded by a crowd. In the foreground, there is a sign that reads "Nobody Elected Elon!" with the subtitle "We are not going to sit around while you go".

The thing I don't understand...

1) Trump did not order USAID disbanded. There was no EO.

2) Even if there was an EO, it does not have the backing of law or Congress.

3) Elon Musk decided he would do this, but he has no official role in govt.

4) All of this is a crime under: 18 U.S.C. § 1361.

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency
“On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST) all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs. Essential personnel expected to continue working will be informed by Agency leadership by Thursday, February 6, at 3:00pm (EST). For USAID personnel currently posted outside the United States, the Agency, in coordination with missions and the Department of State, is currently preparing a plan, in accordance with all applicable requirements and laws, under which the Agency would arrange and pay for return travel to the United States within 30 days and provide for the termination of PSC and ISC contracts that are not determined to be essential. The Agency will consider case-by-case exceptions and return travel extensions based on personal or family hardship, mobility or safety concerns, or other reasons. For example, the Agency will consider exceptions based on the timing of dependents’ school term, personal or familial medical needs, pregnancy, and other reasons. Further guidance on how to request an exception will be forthcoming. Thank you for your service”

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

The anon folks behind this account dropped a copy of this in our inbox a few days ago & I read the entire thing that night.

I appreciated it a lot. It talks about many of the things I say a lot: stay safe, find joy, pick a specialty and get really, really good at it, and STAY SAFE. (stay safe)

A group of us made something heartfelt. It’s an RPG-style guide for surviving an authoritarian and oppressive regime! If you like it, please boost and share it however you can.

Today is the last day you’ll hear from us. Stay safe!

Welcome, new followers.

I write fantasy, horror, and superheroes.

I play CRPGs and watch too much anime.

I roll dice over on Twitch.tv/DungeonScrawlers

I’m also an unabashed leftist, so that might come up.

Glad to have you. I hope 2025 treats you as well as possible.

This didn’t get enough media attention when it happened so I’m posting it again. The Biden’s were not only innocent, they were framed. And the GOP knew it and amplified the lie anyway.
Tweet from Kyle Griffin reads: "Breaking: LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former FBI informant pleads guilty to fabricating claim that President Joe Biden and his son Hunter accepted bribes."

Everything we do to fight fascism will be seen as too extreme, and too early. In reality, history shows that things were usually too late and too moderate.
