Cover art I did for 'The Advocate' written by Daniel M. Ford, and published by Tor Books.

So, we have to hope for a stock market crash for someone to take concrete action against a terrorist President? This 248th season of America is NUTS!

not ideal that a big chunk of the most prominent lefty voices online are youtubers who post like once every 6-18 months www.mediamatters.org/google/right...

This girl has been harassing my daughter at school for the last couple days , throwing her backpack on the floor. My daughter: “keep on messing with me and I’ll call my people in Haiti and have them turn you into a goat. Your handprints are already on here.” Yep, I am on my way to the office. 😩🤣

“I need Obama or Kamala to do something” No YOU need to

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

🧵 IN SHOCKING MOVE, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY FIRES UNION PRESIDENT ONE DAY BEFORE CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS BEGIN, IN FURTHER CRACKDOWN ON FREE SPEECH

AOC takes direct aim at Chuck Schumer & Democratic leadership in this critical moment: “I cannot urge enough how bad of an idea it is to empower and enable Donald Trump and Elon Musk in this moment. It is dangerous and it is reckless.” She’s making her move, and I can bet it’s going to resonate.

Columbia University pushed out professor @katherinefranke.bsky.social because of her pro-Palestine advocacy. She joins @premthakker.bsky.social to discuss the systematic free speech crackdown at Columbia and across the US. Watch the full conversation: zeteo.com/p/columbia-t...

(types “never give a talk at Columbia again” in my planner)

BREAKING: American Airlines plane catches fire at Denver airport

PUT THE WOKE BACK NOW!!!!

Something good out of this fiasco

Authoritarians govern through fear, not legislation. The simple fear of what they would do in certain situations can push even the opposition to capitulate. That’s success for them. We lose when we fold due to a hypothetical. We win when we challenge the REALITY that is hurting working people.

If Chuck Schumer enjoys a single day in NYC for the rest of his life without being told to go fuck himself at least once, then NYC will have utterly failed as a society.

@schumer.senate.gov You’re gambling with my life and the lives of my family and community, and they are not yours to gamble. I will fight for democracy but I will not fight with you bc you have decided it’s not worth it. You made yourself irrelevant. Step aside and let somebody else lead.

Remember: No Amazon, No Target, No Walmart.

Boston City Council, in a 12-1 vote, passed legislation to make Boston a sanctuary city for members of the LGBTQ+ community.

If you're a socialist you have to understand the opportunity being afforded us right now. Everyone hates these motherfuckers. You can knock on any door

The Democratic Party is led by the politician equivalent of the dad who went out for cigarettes and never came back

I hope white women realize that white men absolutely intend to strip their rights away

If you gon revoke degrees, revoke those loans too

BREAKING: Jewish American activists with @jvp.bsky.social have taken over the lobby of Trump Tower in New York to demand the release of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, who faces deportation for protesting Israel's war on Gaza.

Unforgivable.

Tesla vehicles are no longer eligible for provincial EV rebates in British Columbia.

🤨🤨 Unfortunately, we know more than a few people who are both, so let’s call them the “arrogantly ignorant!’

…..yeah republicans are never beating the pedo allegations

Workers at multiple Starbucks locations across the country went on strike yesterday, walking out in protest of management's refusal to negotiate a fair union contract with @SBWorkersUnited. In some cases, the police were called and striking workers were arrested.

A new study revealed the presence of microplastics – tiny fragments of degraded plastic – in human brain tissue. While previous research has identified microplastics in the liver, kidneys, and placenta, this suggests that the brain may be especially vulnerable to these tiny synthetic particles.

You never invite the enemy

My back hurts, there's ginger ale in flavors I can't comprehend and I don't know what teenagers are saying. Oh right. Ahd the sort of racism & bigotry our parents and grandparents fought against is back.
