You may not know about this bill yet, but you should. The JUDGES Act would hand Trump 22 new judicial appointments, and some Democrats in Congress are feeling pressure to vote yes on it to lighten the caseload of judges in their states. A few Democrats have even co-sponsored it.

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

It’s important to note this is not and was never about citizenship. It’s about removing diversity and dissent to authoritarian power. Every man denied due process deserves basic rights because they are human. But remember that they are just the first and no one is safe: www.npr.org/2025/04/16/n...

In case you're curious or sad or angry, there will be an initial hearing in Rhode Island v. Trump - this is the case of 21 states suit to stop the dismantling of the #IMLS. You can watch it, starting at 10am, on www.youtube.com/@USCourtsRID

Not trying to brag, but I just received my most anticipated 2025 book release as an ARC and I am SO EXCITED

The House passed the SAVE act. While it’s unlikely to pass the Senate, I want every single woman to remember how your representative just voted to take your right to vote away.

So are we all just going about our daily lives while a real life Nazi and a TV nepo baby masquerading as business men collapse the world economy? And follow up question, if you don’t drink, what do you do?

Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men? It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again When the beating of your heart Echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes

Went to Costco for Italian sausage and tomato paste. Came out with bug fans and a mortar & pestle. This place is dangerous

It’s great what everyone is doing to Tesla. High fives all around. Now go delete your Twitter account. And if you haven’t already, why is your follower count more important than my human rights?

Tiktok shop lives are the Gen Z QVC, convince me I’m wrong

Every actor, director, and member of the Academy be like

I want us to study the history of resistance to slave catchers right now. I want us to study how slave catchers worked, how they were sanctioned, who paid them, and why they did what they did, right now. I want us to study the hyperlocal and networked ways slave catchers were impeded. Right now.

Native Authors: I am accepting manuscripts during Pitchfest! (But if you have a YA or adult manuscript that doesn’t quite fit, I’d love to still see it now!)

Txt STOP to opt out of updates on war plans

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

the Signal fiasco is a good reminder that while these people are destructive, and cruel, and bigoted, and petty they are also really, really stupid

How many days do we have to wake up to the incompetence of this administration before the House DOES SOMETHING and inpeaches them??? www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

📌The biggest problem isn't that Pete Hegseth is an under-qualified moron who is texting our military secrets to our enemies like some 15-year-old, blackout drunk. The problem is there is an entire anti-American, bought-off political empire on the Right that simply doesn't give a shit anymore ...

Just hopped on LinkedIn to discover that EVERY bad boss I ever had is posting AI generated Elon boot licker content. The correlation makes perfect sense.

PETITION: Stop Trump's E.O. Attacks on Federal Funding for Libraries! In a new executive order, President Trump has targeted the federal agency charged with distributing congressionally approved funds to state libraries. shorturl.at/P1ZgE

"Just self-publish" is not an "easy" solution. Self-publishing is hard. It requires way more time than I have. For me, the agent and trad/small press model works great. But again, it ain't one size fits all, folks. You need to find what works for you.

Just spent $32 on hardware from a small online retailer that would have cost me $52 on Amazon. AMAZON IS NOT THE CHEAPEST BUY ELSEWHERE

You know all those book bans and school board fights that have been happening? Well, this new report shows that they cost our schools $3.2 BILLION just last year!!! 🤯 Our kids and teachers deserve better. Read the report for yourself at the link! social.redwine.blue/s/bttU9QFh
