Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com
This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.
The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.
AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
It was so bad
political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics
They do this with Columbine as well. It is frustrating and wrong revisionism.
ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children
The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted
Women and children in parks
This is not to excuse their votes and the harm they've caused. But we need to welcome people who are risking family, friendship, and professional ties to start to repair the harm and form healthier relationships.
My dad is MAGA. If he showed any remorse and wanted to come to the pro-democracy side, I would welcome him with open arms.
People don't fully understand how brainwashed and cultist MAGA is. Anyone who is trying and doing the work to be pro-democracy should be at the protest.
The last 8ish hours has been a year.
@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."
Gavin Newsom is so incredibly annoying because he is unbearable like 90% of the time but the other 10% he cooks so hard that you can’t help but give it to him
real bummer finding out that literally everything was on the honor system this whole time
This was always clearly the objective and many in the media also insisted on treating anyone who said so clearly like they were some kind of lunatic bsky.app/profile/carn...
anyway CNN is reporting that Pentagon lawyers are defining the RULES OF ENGAGEMENT for the U.S. Marines against civilians in L.A. and at the same time you have Serious Journalists™ defending the suspension of a reporter for calling Stephen Miller a hateful person
Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
Moving toward when we feel like we are already there
There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process.
This is kidnapping and human trafficking.
Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office.
Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.
It is actually completely congruent and reasonable to condemn both antisemitic attacks and Netanyahu’s murderous rampage in Gaza.
You don’t have to pick one or the other. You shouldn’t pick one or the other.
My grandpa, son of immigrants, served in Korea.
People will really be LOUD and WRONG when verifiable proof is available. Sheesh.

They're going to profile anyone gender nonconforming to push them out of the military. Too feminine as a man? You're out. Too butch as a woman? You're out. This will be a de facto ban on queer people as well.
Again, because this may have gotten lost: the judges (or more accurately, juries) vote for the semis, but THEIR VOTES DO NOT COUNT. Since 2023 only the public vote counts for the semis.
Therefore, this article headline needs to corrected to reflect that reality.
Admit that you're wrong.
