Thousands of protesters filled the street near City Hall and spilled into the park behind the Bellingham downtown library branch Saturday, joining millions of people nationwide in the 'No Kings Day' protest.

Thousands were there for today's No Kings protest in Bellingham, Washington.

Yesterday Bag of Bones Press accepted my short story "The Man With the Face Tattoo" for their Patterns anthology. (As the titles of the story and name of the publisher may suggest, it is dark fiction/horror.)

A small bit of good news. One of my picture book manuscripts won an honorable mention in a contest: kelliebeggs.weebly.com/blog

Yeah, Asheville!

Alright Dem politicians, you now know you've got masses behind you. Time to start doing something with it. Start introducing the legislation you know won't pass now but that we know you'll push through when we vote MAGA out.

Say what you want, but this is working. Tesla shares are plummeting, and people can’t offload their Teslas fast enough. The NYC protest today is 🔥 —they’re continuing the effort to urge folks to sell their Teslas and dump stock. The brand is toxic. PS—I got rid of my Tesla in 2024.

There are reasons why Republican are cancelling town halls. Here's one of them: bsky.app/profile/did:...

BREAKING: Veterans gathered today in North Carolina to protest Republican Representative Brad Knott who has refused to host a town hall in his district due to fear of being protested. This is huge.

I missed an in-person protest this week because I did not hear about it. If anyone has suggestions on how to make sure I hear about protests--Bluesky accounts, email lists, websites--I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Trump is doing everything he can to destroy America and our allies. While helping Russia. Everyone in the world should be calling for his immediate impeachment and removal.

Jeffries: hey the GOP controls the government, absolutely nothing i can do, gonna work on my personal book tour Sanders: brb i am going to personally barnstorm strategic GOP house districts and try to peel off 2 votes so we can block Trump's cuts to Medicaid www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

I took part in an anti-Trump protest today. I may share more later, but for now, let me say this...I saw confusing announcements. I went to the wrong place first, as did others. There's still a little snow on the ground, and it was raining (lightly). And...there were hundreds of people. Maybe 1000?

No one could’ve predicted that Trump would so many of the things that he said he would do.

Not a surprise, but... www.iflscience.com/us-hits-its-...
