Trying to keep up some cheerful news...people may be getting a clue faster than I'd expected www.cnn.com/2025/02/22/p...

Remember a time when the highest office in the US did not post bizarre and offensive trolling videos? But congrats to everyone who thinks it's "refreshing" to have the office of POTUS behaving like it's being run by a sociopathic middle-schooler. theintercept.com/2025/02/19/d...

Possibly the best book dedication ever.. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š#booksky

There is a lot bad happening right now, but I think this is worth some focus. First, it really underscores this administration's commitment to over the top white nationalism. Second, you don't do this without making some really bitter enemies in the military. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A heartfelt thanks to everyone who has read and taken time to leave feedback for A Controlled Descent II, Chapter Three since it was released this morning. It means so much in a medium that sometimes feel like you are working in a vacuum. โค๏ธ

I talk about ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ“š 2033: The Year Things Fell Apart by @rebeccadoll.bsky.social and @jamesgordon.bsky.social on Tumblr: www.tumblr.com/profiterole-... or on Dreamwidth: profiterole-reads.dreamwidth.org/123993.html

Prior to his inauguration, a presumption of prosecutorial โ€œregularityโ€...made sense. But now that Trump is the first person in the history of the United States to win the presidency on the promise of criminal vengeance, the law seems ill-prepared for whatโ€™s to come. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

โ€œThere still seems to be a fundamental failure to recognize that one party is telling a story as to why people are hurting and they are punching down in the naming of whoโ€™s responsible,โ€ says Bery....The Democratic Party is not punching.โ€ theintercept.com/2025/02/07/b...

"The top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee and a former constitutional law professor, Raskin has been tasked by Democratic leaders with serving on their โ€œrapid response and litigation working group." www.politico.com/news/magazin...

The Trump/AP feud is the problem with unethical v. ethical. If AP were *in fact* unethical, their response would be "okay if we don't have access we're just gonna make shit up, and every wire service in the world is gonna get a daily dose of 'TRUMP SHARTS PUBLICLY'"

No...really... theintercept.com/2025/02/11/i...

Moderates have blamed liberal interest groups for the partyโ€™s defeat in 2024 and argued that Democrats must move to the center... Sanders, along with other progressives and some centrists, contends the party lost because it abandoned working-class people. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

"Beginnings of Roman London discovered in office basement" Per the BBC, Roman London was misfiled by a clerk during the chaotic administration of William Rufus, and has been in a filing cabinet in the basement ever since. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Unless the Democrats face this information, stop being the party of the affluent upper middle class, and work to support US workers, the GOP will continue to have a heyday with false promises and solutions. Tax. The. Wealthy. #taxthewealthy www.politico.com/news/mgazine...

Still not sure why news coverage always frames this movement as "anti-DEI" instead of "pro-white supremacy" or "pro-Master Race."

It may turn out I like David Hogg better than a lot of other Democrats. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

No, I'm not crazy about CNN right now. On the other hand when they aren't kowtowing to the the administration, it's pretty definite. www.cnn.com/2025/02/03/c...

Just so we're clear. A trade war isn't a bad idea. If you're the wealthy mercantile class looking to bulldoze small businesses and force everyone into corporate feudalism. #Trump #MAGA #Mexico #tariffs #Canada www.bbc.com/news/article...

Just to be clear. This is from Politico's legal editor, not some wild eyed radical who doesn't understand how Constitutional Law works. "If Trump decided he wanted to hold onto power past 2028, there are at least four paths he could try" www.politico.com/news/magazin...

I'm just gonna throw this out there. If the DNC prospects invited the protesters on stage and had them lead a crowd chant of "Big Oil: Lock em up!" they might not have lost the election... www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

#pretendpanel Years ago I thought that living in a Russian novel where you stay up late drinking hating the regime, talking about your book that is likely going to cause you to lose your livelihood was a lot cooler than it has turned out...but that's the future #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors

OK guys, it's up! This is the Pre Order for my latest book! This is a story that had to be told. I really need this to fly so I can make our Government feel like the a-holes they have been to me! I would be honored if many of my friends would repost this. olympiapublishers.com/book/screami... Linda๐Ÿฅณ

The helicopter was a Black Hawk out of Belvoir on a training flight, warned by ATC, per the public recordings. I'm willing to bet money that, (a) the Army is at fault (b) the proximate cause is the chaos in government in the military and FAA #trumpplanecrash www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...
