I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS Fayetteville, Arkansas” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

dorianmuse.com/2025/05/23/t... This is an article I wrote after visiting family in Kentucky and getting caught in the violent storms. Then I thought about how surviving tornadoes is similar to surviving political menace. With cicadas droning in the background…

This is important. Please comment.

I have some breaking news: a list of all the countries with which the Trump administration has failed to make a tariff deal.

Everyone in the opposition should be working towards privacy and security on their computers and devices. Don’t use google, instead use Firefox or Brave. Get rid of Alexa. Get a VPN from a country with good privacy laws and use it. Don’t take your phone to protests or on vacations abroad.

You rolled for equity. You legend. I've got a special message for you from ovaryroll.com: Yolks on you fascists

CECOT isn’t a prison—it’s a torture chamber built on mass incarceration and fear. No trials. No sunlight. Just starvation, beatings, and silence. The EL Salvadoran govt says they’ll “never get out.” This is a human rights nightmare. Watch this video. Share it. And raise hell.

The Christian nationalists had a win for book ban frenzy, alas arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...

News: Diana Greene Foster, the MacArthur-winning author of the Turnaway Study, learned her NIH grant — funding a multi-year study on Dobbs' impact — has been pulled. She was told its bc the govt won't study "gender identity." Her work has shaped our understanding of abortion bans' consequences.

The Christian nationalists lost by one vote in committee. At first it was called as a pass. Then a member asked for a roll call. So for now the libraries are safe and there is no book ban in place. But the maga nationalists are surely mad as hornets.

Today a committee of Christian nationalists in the state legislature will decide if Arkansas becomes the first state to abolish the state library system.

Our signs for today!

My advice is if your law firm can't say this, get yourself a new law firm. "Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

Val Kilmer, a national treasure. He was under rated. RIP

Americans traveling abroad: take burners. They are doing spot phone checks at the border apparently, looking for anti-regime stuff. Disturbing if true.

I went to a seminar last night about safety at protests. The phone issue is what disturbed me. Made me long for the days of worrying about agent provocateurs and a slap on the wrist after arrest. That’s quaint. In short, don’t bring your phone. If you have to bring it, turn off location and FaceID

Happy blood moon! I stumbled on this cool shot at dawn.

Another picture of our rescue Rottie, GG (Gentle Giant). Pretty, and smart as they come.

My protest sign last week in NWArkansas.

GGV (Gentle Giant Velcro) and me. Rescue Rottweiler. Just enormous!

@kimberlyeatkins.bsky.social I want to thank you for the latest #JusticeByDesign with @mxscottkernest.bsky.social It’s important to welcome people who come back to sanity after walking on the grim cultish white nationalist path. Thank you!

This. All of this.

I want to vote for Chris Murphy for president in 2028. He’s angry, clear, engaged, and unwilling to be milktoast (like other democrats). We have a few stars who I’d vote for, but Murphy keeps telling it straight. I like him.

202-224-3121. I had to call three times for each representative but I called all three. Tell them what you think about the unlawful dissolution of government and dictatorship. I did it here in Arkansas. They need to know we aren’t all magas.
