In tRump’s America, armed and masked soldiers from ‘who knows where’ patrol public streets and drag people away to lock-ups unknown. With no due process, it could be anyone they’re detaining. Kudos to the folks who, outraged, tried to interfere. Wtf is going on here?? #DemVoice1

Republicans changed the rules, & now practically any action the executive branch takes can be challenged in Congress. Any 30 Senators can bring up a vote, & get a guaranteed 10 hours of floor time. Meaning that Democrats could hold the floor indefinitely, if they wanted. prospect.org/politics/202...

On the street in Los Angeles last night a young woman and her friend mistook me for Kurt Russell so you must understand I will be pretty intolerable for a while.

It'd be a real shame if vandals started trimming the valve stems off ICE vehicles while they're abducting people in court.

As Trump demands to bring workers back into the office, a new federal government study shows telework increases worker productivity, talent attraction, and retention, reduces commute times by an average of 55 minutes per day, and increases employment opportunities for people with disabilities.

In 2022 @wilderspellcaster.bsky.social and I had a Top 20 all-time horror feature screenplay on Coverfly. When the site shuts down this summer there will be no record of this accomplishment. And nothing stopping me from saying “We won the 2022 red list for sexiest unproduced horror screenplay.”

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

Burn it all to the ground and buy up the land and water and minerals at rock bottom prices. This a fire sale for the oligarchy. How do I know? They’ve already done it to rural America…

BREAKING: Just 100 billionaire families poured a record-breaking $2.6 BILLION into the 2024 election. That’s 2.5x the $1 BILLION spent by individual billionaires in 2020. Now they’ve come to collect trillions in tax cuts while we foot the bill.

This story, like so many of the others, is absolutely horrifying. It underscores once again the psychopathic level of disregard this administration and its adherents have for peoples' lives. Just breathtakingly cruel and evil. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t you try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.
