ICYMI, a look at some great SF books that imagine our first interactions with our aliens chums. 🪐📚 #scifbooks #sciencefiction #booktube youtu.be/OeXw2z4X5kY

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

The early reviews are great! FUTURE'S EDGE comes out from @titanbooks.bsky.social on 25th Feb in paperback, ebook and audio. Order now from your favourite bookseller.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Mindset reset: Right now, brave Ukrainians are defending their land & loved ones, at the cost of their sanity, limbs & lives. It’s an existential fight for their democracy & way of life. If the Russians lose, they go home. If the Ukrainians lose, they will be overrun & destroyed. #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

DOGE wants to gut government agencies that protect you. If Elon Musk really wanted to rein in government waste, he'd close tax loopholes and end subsidies that benefit the ultra-wealthy and large corporations.

Trump claims his tariff pause is the result of concessions from Canada and Mexico on border enforcement. But many of these so-called "concessions" are policies both countries were already doing (or planning to do) before he took office. Some dealmaker, huh?

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people

Thank you, Canada!

Alien Clay is a 99p kindle deal this month.

Replacing civil servants with loyalists. Upending the lives of millions who rely on federal programs. Grotesquely blaming "DEI" for disaster. Trump wants to consolidate power through divide-and-conquer tactics. We must stand together and fight back. youtu.be/wSYbNcjGjhA?...

Most immigrants Trump targets have been here 10+ years, paying taxes, raising families, contributing to our communities. Mass deportation would devastate our economy and tear apart the social fabric of America. https://itep.org/undocumented-immigrants-taxes-2024/

Shortly after Citizens United, Jimmy Carter issued a stark warning about the role of Big Money in politics. May we remember the truths that he told us — and act to remedy them. bit.ly/4j6N1cC

Here’s a New Year’s Resolution: Be on the side that reads books — not the side that bans them.

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats. It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re being shafted. Know the truth.

Uk release today for Days of Shattered Faith! (Book 3 of Tyrant Philosophers, but readable on its own.)

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to Social Security and Medicare. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.
