What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

My new favorite words: "arbitrary and capricious."

Just a quick reminder that rating and reviewing books that you DO like makes a huge difference to authors and creators. The people who do NOT like things are always very vocal about it. Spread positivity in a tiny way whenever you can by telling others about the things you DO like.

Pretty much.

My current bedtime storybook. What are you reading?

The pages that are set to be revived include information for patients about HIV testing and HIV prevention medication, guidance on contraceptives and data on adolescent and youth mental health.

I am extremely freaking thrilled to announce that Bad Company is *officially* available for preorder wherever you buy books. (I am linking to Bookshop but buy it wherever!) I worked so, so hard on this book, and it would mean a ton to me if you ordered it. bookshop.org/a/109816/978...

It's Intenational Celebration of Women in Science Day! The CERN Lab in Geneva has this page in honor of the day. home.cern/news/news/ce...

This also applies to show-shoeing

JD Vance, a Yale Law graduate, doesn't understand Marbury v. Madison, the most famous case in Constitutional law, which established judicial review of the other two branches of government.

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

Great point.

Is the Void full of screams yet?? Is there a back-up Void? A cloud Void?

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.

Senate Democrats are considering voting NO or delaying every Trump nominee as retaliation for his overreach on ending USAID. Smash the RT if you SUPPORT this plan. ZERO votes from Democrats!!

THIS. "Microdose hope" is so important right now. I've heard that before, but needed the reminder. It can be really hard.

www.bloomberg.com/news/article... YES ...YES... DO IT PETE !! Here is the BEST of the BEST I will support THIS GREAT DEMOCRAT for whatever he chooses..

HUGE BREAKING NEWS: Pete Buttigieg is seriously considering running for Senate in Michigan after Gretchen Whitmer says she wouldn’t run for the open seat. Smash that RT if you agree Secretary Buttigieg would make a FANTASTIC Senator!! 💙💙

They tried to erase history. We loudly said "Hell no." They folded. We should say "Hell no" a lot more.

Please be extra kind to the void today, there’s a lot of people out there screaming and the lines aren’t the void’s fault

Just so profoundly evil 🤬🤬🤬

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945. They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025
