"I am not involved," Trump said in relation to Kilmar Garcia's case. It would seem as soon as it finally sunk in that he could be impeached for violating the US Constitution's due process clause, he has suddenly decided he had nothing to do with it.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

🤣😂😭

This whole saga is kind of weird, and I'm rather confused how a publisher that crowdfunded its expenses has managed to go into administration. To be noted, Unbound weren't paying royalties by the end, and that is a big old nope.

DRUMS! DRUMS IN THE DEEP (Throat)! #TolkienPorn

Fuck civility. It served nobody at Gettysburg.

New: Ex-Twitter workers keep winning severance claims against Elon Musk. Employees are 20 for 20 so far in getting full severance from Musk via arbitration, including four people who were laid off after the "Fork in the Road" ultimatum www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

@zetamakesthings.bsky.social Awesome cosplay at CapriCon! Enjoyed Queer Eye For SciFi panel!

I love that one method of simple sabotage is being Colin Robinson

Even in the incredibly unlikely case that trans rights in the US stop getting worse, judges grow a spine, whatever miracle you want to imagine— You should still go out of your way to support trans folks because every fucking thing is harder for them. Work. Family. Housing. Walking down the street.

Raise your hand if you agree that tRump is a joke. ✋ (albeit a very bad joke)

And if another trans author who might be struggling happens to be reading this: remember that your story matters, there are readers out there who want to read your trans book despite what some people in this industry might think, don't lose hope.❤️

I CAN FINALLY SHARE THE MOST GORGEOUS BOOK COVER REVEAL ARGH! I am BESOTTED 😍 ROOTS OF MY FEARS, an anthology of ancestral horror stories edited by me. Featuring: Onoh, Iglesias, Mohamed, Campbell, Piper AND MORE! Full TOC in next post. Out September, Titan. Cover: Julia Lloyd. shorturl.at/AzMj8

If there’s one thing I want trans writers to hear is never compromise. Don’t give those fuckers a single inch. Your vision, your ideas, are scared. Preserve them in all their glorious strangeness.

Anaal Nathrakh gets it: "Take what small comfort there may be left Seize what you love and damn all the rest"

Stand on business!

If America was a Mystery Science Theater 3000 movie, Tom Servo's head would be exploding at every discontinuity, Crow would be vomiting nuts and bolts from the nauseating credits placards, and Joel would be cow-tipping GPC.

Gentle reminder that most disabled people can NOT leave the United States. Countries don’t want to take in disabled, chronically ill and “high cost health users”. There are serious financial barriers to moving - leaving most people behind. Spare a thought for all of us tonight - people are scared

What did you do today to make Carrie Fisher proud? I took my meds & attended not one, but TWO medical appointments

Read this quick, before the administration takes it down. A 2020 paper on a study conducted with NFS and NIJ grants, which found that undocumented immigrants commit significantly fewer felonies per capita than either native-born citizens or legal immigrants. 🧵

. @aoc.bsky.social on the dangers of a newly normalized Trump and his billionaire feeding frenzy. New pod out now! #JonStewart #TheWeeklyShow

All members of the Environmental Protection Agency’s boards of outside advisers on science and clean air were dismissed in a letter emailed late Tuesday, an unusual step the Trump administration said was aimed at depoliticizing the panels.

This Hannah Arendt quote feels appropriate right now "Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty."

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Yet again, I would like to apologize to the shade of Sheri S. Tepper for all the times I thought her villains were “kinda over the top.”

Go Greyhound and leave the driving to us!

if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it. It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

Quick reminder to our esteemed representatives & senators: The checks & balances against executive branch overreach don't work if no one steps up to work the mechanisms contained in the Constitution. Auto pilot doesn't work all that well during a flat spin.

These people who get *furious* at bishops telling Trump to do as Jesus asked and show mercy, and who want to humiliate and punish the poor, have to wear enormous crosses around their necks, because how else would anyone guess they are "Christian"?

Rep. Sarah McBride: "When they're going after trans people, with their right hand they're picking the pocket of American workers, they're fleecing seniors, they're undermining unions. And this is all part of that politics of misdirection and distraction and division." NAILED IT! 🔥

Today was the first day since That Republican President took office that I've managed to get anything made. Been too numb to try since last Monday.

Given that there’s a pause on FDA comms right now, it may be useful for Americans to sign up for Canadian recalls, since many products are sold in both countries. Eg fellow celiacs, this may clue you into products to watch out for on the US side too: recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en/subscribe
