Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL. #HandsOff

Wow. #HandsOff rally in St. Paul, Minnesota is massive!

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

Dear Donald Trump (AND all of you who voted for him): people are PISSED OFF. People are ANGRY. And we are not sitting down. We are not shutting up. We are not (as one misogynist MAGA asshole told me to do yesterday) SIMMERING DOWN. You sowed the wind. You are going to reap the fucking WHIRLWIND.

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

It's an ironic PS to today's amazing Jeffrey Goldberg story that the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic is more responsible with US national security information than any of the principals of the Trump national-security team www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

times for completely incoherent reasons—twice for posting quotes from Hannah Arendt's book on Totalitarianism, and four times for posting editorial cartoons published in various newspapers which FB considers offensive. They seem particularly upset at the review I posted of Carless People 2/

Apparently I have been kicked off Facebook and my account has been permanently suspended. No explanation as to why, but in the past three months I have been issued warning six 1/

So now that America is imprisoning and/or deporting immigrants who overstayed visas and married Americans, is it maybe time for Melania to finally have that long promised press conference where she explains the exact nature of her arrival in the United States?

A kidney transplant specialist and professor at Brown University’s medical school has been deported from the United States, even though she had a valid visa and a court order temporarily blocking her expulsion, according to her lawyer and court papers. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/u...

Last fun sci-fi that I read: Fuzzy Nation by John Scalzi. Entertaining and fast paced, with bonus furry, adorable creatures. Also features a patented smart-mouthed (and smart) @scalzi.com protagonist. Also terrific: Starter Villain and The Kaiju Preservation Society.

The most recent terrific fantasy (really more magical realism) that I read: The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods. 1920s London and Paris, modern day Dublin, time jumps, romance, and a mysterious bookshop you can’t find but might - if you’re lucky - find you.

This probably also makes me an unwelcome centrist outlier on Bluesky. 😏

I’m sometimes tempted to move back to my home state of Texas. There, even moderate Dems like me are welcomed by other Dems. Among the far-left Democrats in Taos, New Mexico, where I live now, I’m an unwelcome centrist outlier. Corporate shill, DINO - you name it, I’ve been called it. 🤷🏼

Look what's happening at the French Embassy in Washington DC.

They just fired hundreds of FAA employees.

Dammit, @chuckwendig.bsky.social, I just finished reading “Wanderers”……. apple.news/AHptNzYP0RFC...

Macron, with Trump scowling next to him, says "the aggressor is Russia"

Always and forever the Gulf of Mexico.

Just gonna leave this here.

UPDATE: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman rejects Elon Musk-led bid

Donald Trump refused today to say that his handpicked VP is his successor, even as he also said he is doing a great job And yes, that statement—an immediate unwillingness to acknowledge that he will have a successor, to even say that Vance _could_ be a successor—means exactly what you think it does

I’m too sexy for my body. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 🎶

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

Hurray for Apple Maps (at least so far).

Red state alcohol being removed at BC Liquor stores including Tito’s and Jack Daniels. #bcpoli

We Americans deserve this.

❤️❤️❤️

I’m a fifth generation native Texan. Nonetheless I have decided it would be wise to bring my passport when I travel to Texas next week. It’s a distinct possibility that neither ICE nor Abbott’s DPS would recognize my New Mexico driver’s license (even with Real ID) as legitimate proof of citizenship.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

The entire archive of CDC datasets can be found here. HUGE shoutout to data archivists- this work is important 👏🙌🏻 archive.org/details/2025...

Hearing Hegseth downed a 5th of Jack to celebrate his new job.

This energy 💯

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

I’ve started tagging nearly every one of my Facebook posts with #FuckTrump. I’m curious to see how long it takes Zuck’s algorithm to come after me.

A friend of a friend (both friends are members of Code Pink) just confidently asserted on social media that the Biden administration was worse than the first Trump administration. This is the kind of far left idiocy that drives me bonkers.

I thought there was this concept called “federalism” that allowed states to set their own election rules. Silly me.

As a kid, I always wondered why I was so obsessed Star Wars. I always wondered why it was so important. As an adult, I get it now. Star Wars at its core is a story about fighting authoritarianism.

I remember the old days when Fox said it was Biden’s fault.

We will not forget

Everybody needs level-headed friends who give constructive advice. But everybody also needs feral friends who feed you margaritas while you vent and vibe off your energy until you both just wanna burn it all down. It takes a village.
