He is so not joking, either

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

The acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service plans to resign following the agency’s data-sharing agreement with the Department of Homeland Security, which supports the Trump administration’s efforts to deport undocumented immigrants.

piggybacking off this: the most powerful sales technique in the world, for pretty much all of human history, has been word of mouth. If you like something someone made, TELL YOUR FRIENDS. Tell everyone. Leave reviews. Repost. Talk about it. Link to it and link to the artist. We depend on YOU.

Timeline cleanse, you know you need it

New favorite protest signs #HandsOff

Must’ve cost big bucks to pay millions of people in 1,100 cities.

My entire feed is #handsoff protest photos. I love this place.

Part of the reason the act 10 protests persisted so long was free food provided by labor unions and an on going speech and music schedule that went all day.

Not all “Hands Off” events were in-person. I attended two virtual events centering chronically ill and disabled people for @motherjones.com, who are terrified about attacks to Medicaid, Section 504, research funding, education and more. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

DC is here! Amazing crowd #handsOff

I know I'm biased because it's my team but this video is very very funny

Oh hi new followers! If you love Star Trek but wish it were more queer, and you want more optimistic SFF in your life, my stories might just be your jam #sff 🌈📚 Check out Warped State: queer interspecies love, gender-questioning spaceships, anti-capitalism, and hope: www.jomiles.com/books/warped...

More Dems please follow this example. Let this be the start and not the end of speaking up.

Lando's leadership of Cloud City in The Empire Strikes Back turned out to be a tragically prescient parable for our time. Leaders of institutions: Pay attention! A story in four parts. cc: Paul Weiss, Columbia University bcc: all law firms, universities, and civil society organizations

Senator @booker.senate.gov you are a hero. Thank you! We need more leaders like you.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

Cory Booker has been filibustering longer than JD Vance was in Greenland.

Happy April Fools Day! Good luck to anybody trying to make up news more absurd than what we're living through.

Quick boost for the lunchtime crowd! #sff #tdov

Hey hey hey cis allies, it's #TransDayofVisibility and ofc while we celebrate that #TransRightsAreHumanRights every day (right? RIGHT?) this is a special chance for us to 'vote with our wallet' as they say. #TLCAuction passed $43k this morn ❤️‍🔥 ✨$50k let's goooo 🚀🚀🚀 #TDoV #CrimeWriters4TransRights

It's also the day for my favorite meme! If this aging Klingon warrior can get it right, so can anyone.

I've never tried this before, but it's Trans Day of Visibility and it's scary out there, so let's raise some money for trans rights! Donate to TransEquality.org or The Trevor Project today, DM me your receipt, and I'll send you an ebook of Warped State, my queer optimistic activist space opera 🌈📚

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Trans and nonbinary folks, I see you, and I love you. You exist. You matter.

Had someone ask me recently when @flightsoffoundry.bsky.social would be in-person. The answer is never. We serve a global audience and being virtual means anyone with an internet connection can participate, on their schedule, without travel costs and other barriers to entry.

My latest newsletter is here! In which I talk about activism in my book Warped State, how SFF stories can show the power of collective action, and why if we're waiting for a hero to rise up and save us, we'll be waiting forever: jomiles.optin.com/newsletter/a...

100% agree. Especially as events are planned months or years ahead, we can't know what the world will look like when they arrive, except there's a high likelihood it'll be more dangerous.

No more complaining about fictional villains acting stupidly. Not allowed. I've never read (or written!) a bad guy who leaked their own battle plans by accidentally adding a journalist to their group chat.
