As a Hoosier who disagrees with Pence on nearly everything and remember some of the terrible things he did in office here, I definitely did not expect him to step out of hiding to call Trump a liar. Just this one lie, though. Nevermind the millions of others.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

The unprofessionalism and corrupt behavior of this administration is going to be in history books - and I have a feeling that’s exactly what these narcissistic billionaires are craving.

I’m reading Forth Wing, and the talented @rebeccayarros.bsky.social wrote a single line that brought tears to my eyes because it feels so painfully relevant to remember right now, “You defended the smallest with ferocity. And strength of courage is more important than physical strength.” #booksky 📚💙

I guess because no one but the drug manufacturers & stockholders are making money on us finally being thin and mentally healthy, now they needs to come for those, too. We are going to need to eat less and retain our sanity somehow the next 4 years. Leave our medicines alone, worm brain. 🤬

Yes! We might be terrified & sharing news by the hour, but we are also dissociating at night reading about badass dragon riders and witches burning down the patriarchy because our nervous systems need a rest. Keep sharing your work with us – we know you have to make a living, too! #booksky 📚💙

One thing that I'm increasingly coming to believe is that stories are going to be central to what comes next. Stories of the harm done. Stories of the great things achieved by government in the past. Stories of valor kindness and quotidian simple resistance.

Sitting back and gently picking your battles during a hostile takeover or implying that your constituents shouldn’t be so demanding that they fight back is how we got INTO this mess, Chuck! They SHOULD be uncomfortable! Keep sending those letters and making those calls! 👏🏻 #resist ✊🏼💙

People wonder why no one is doing anything… the chain of command is circular. Also, thank the ABA for speaking up. And “doge” is not a thing. 🇺🇸

As a Hoosier witnessing some of the bills that they’re putting up right now, this is not completely out of the realm of possibility. It almost feels as if we are waiting for satire to become Gilead.

When Trump said, “In four years, you don’t have to vote again,” it wasn’t hyperbole.

I am extremely freaking thrilled to announce that Bad Company is officially available for preorder wherever you buy books. (I am linking to Bookshop but buy it wherever!) I worked so, so hard on this book, and it would mean a ton to me if you ordered it. bookshop.org/a/109816/978...

We knew they’d attempt to change history and delete everything - and they’re wasting no time. I think it’s safe to say this may be the most corrupt President and administration in history.

There have been so many days when I would open TikTok & the first person who popped up was GrandmaGreat with a smile on her face or a message I needed to hear at that moment. I lost my gma in 1997 & miss her every day - Sharon makes me feel close to her. bookshop.org/a/109740/979... 📚💙 #booksky

First we see him on camera bragging about wanting to “traumatize” Americans, now we find out this. Do these people honestly have the ability to rationalize cause and effect?

Arizona Republican David Schweikert did a wonderful display challenging fellow Republicans on what little impact what they were doing right now would have on the national debt in an effort to avoid a “financial Armageddon.” Worth the watch. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2SSvf3B/
