If any more evidence was needed that this admin doesn’t actually care about modernizing technology, efficiency, or the good of the American people, it’s the firing of this team that was central to all of that.

Latest commissioned fountain pen painting. This one is a dragon, inspired by a book character, which was exciting! I love it when my worlds (writing, reading, pens, painting) collide. #painting #acrylicpainting #fountainpen

In Asheville today, people showing up protest the firing of federal workers. The hiring freeze and firings are expected to have major negative consequences for our Parkway and Pisgah National Forest. Really great to see people braving the cold for this.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Look at the comments for photos and videos from around the country today!! It’s uplifting to see the huge turnouts to protest DOGE and etc. So much of what’s happening now—book banning, skewed media— is about silencing. So we absolutely cannot be silent.

Here’s a painting of a pigeon, who is just popping in to say hey. I’m experimenting with acrylic gouache. As someone who tends towards muted colors, I’ve been enjoying the neon under-painting which forces me out of that comfort zone. #gouache #painting #traditionalart #art #pigeon #birdart

Here’s a description of the rejected ad. Does anyone have the actual copy? It should be disseminated widely.

I keep thinking about the Tesla military contracts. Not the money. How an empathy-void narcissist Nazi will have fine grain, push button control over all those armored vehicles. I am imagining a five year old boy driving remote controlled cars off a cliff whenever he can’t have cake for lunch.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

Thanks to @manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social for organizing #MSWL day! I’m open from 1-7 of every month and here is what I’ll be looking for in March: I rep PB-YA and gravitate towards projects that have a clear, commercial hook and a captivating voice. 🧵

Tell people about this. Not sure if the aim is opening our country to attack, or a start to turning our military against the citizens, but in no way could any good come of it.

Surprisingly, we find ourselves thanking a Trump appointee—so thank you, Judge. Judge Carl Nichols of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia announced after a hearing that he would issue a temporary restraining order to halt the imminent administrative leave of 2,200 USAID employees.

Do you have republican reps? Now is the time to call. They only need to flip 3 to keep Musk out of your most sensitive data. Right now he may have access not only to your SSN and tax records, but also potentially whatever bank accounts you use to pay taxes/receive refunds.
