Democracy is burning, and we need sites like Bluesky more than ever. And Senator Durbin wants to repeal 230, which would massively stifle the ability of sites like Bluesky to exist, while massively empowering X and Meta. Why? It seems that someone in his office doesn't understand 230.

In addition to writing, I'm currently offering editorial/development services: I've discovered I like helping people figure out what makes a story tick, and how best to express that in their comic/animation/live action script. My rates are reasonable, and turnaround is generally pretty fast.

I support and am happy the party came together to stop this. However, this is what they should be doing on EVERYTHING. I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it - we are in an existential crisis as a country. We’re either going to emerge as Americans, or as something else.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Continuing story, how many lives/wrecked bodies went into what Elon called the "wood chipper" when he illegally shut down USAID. Crimes are one thing. But Elon's body count will cry out down through the ages.

Super disappointed to see my former senator Mark Warner ostensibly defend an unelected billionaire. Musk has no right to do what he’s doing; he was not congressionally approved and he’s not even an employee of the gov’t. Why aren’t you and other dems taking stronger action against this chaos-monger?

Look I know it's a cliché, but call your fucking reps. They don't get scared unless they hear from an overwhelming number of us all the time. Call them every damn day. Tell them to fight the hell back and protect us from Musk and Trump. It matters and it makes a difference, right now. reps.fyi

Got myself a couple Non-Superhero comics for a change, and am incredibly happy with that decision! INTO THE UNBEING by Zac Thompson & Hayden Sherman is intense and beautiful, horrific and amazing. Y'all NEED to read this book. BUG WARS is by Jason Aaron & Mahmud Asrar. 'Nuff said. It's perfect.

This is all of Medicaid, by the way. This means people will die. It means disabled kids like my son will lose our extra medical coverage and our waiver funds that help pay for his care. This will devastate the country in ways you cannot imagine. An absolutely hate-filled group of people
