Still practicing my drawing and trying to capture Helen and Mateo, the stars of Book Two of the Pantheon League series, coming this fall. I’m not good enough to draw from scratch, so I use figure drawing prompts or images as inspiration. They’re not quite right, but I’m still having fun! 💅🎨🖌️✍️📚🌶️

Fascism is here. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. “Left-wing political terrorism” will mean those who oppose the regime — while actual right-wing extremism is allowed to grow and thrive. We are very far off the cliff, folks.

fake feds are investigating ballots that don’t exist from a made-up city. other than that, totally checks out.

some dope on X named @PaulGoldEagle wrote: “BREAKING: 675 ballots for Spencer Pratt found in a dumpster in San Recto. Federal authorities are on scene.Let the games begin”

and then a community note was added: “No city named San Recto exists in California, making the claim of ballots found there impossible.”

I’ve been thinking a lot about THE SEEDS TRILOGY lately. Readers have compared it to THE HUNGER GAMES, and we agree. A story about love, friendship, and the fight for truth, justice, and liberty for all. And food. It’s also about food. Just seems rather timely about now…

I just hit 84,000 words on book 2 of the Pantheon League series. For me, 84k means I’M GETTING SO CLOSE TO THE END! I figure 3 or 4 more chapters before I have a finished draft! Also it’s summer, so it’s time to RISE UP FOR THE REVOLUTION with some exciting dystopian adventure romance.📚 ♥️

very good and it zeroes in on a really important dynamic: the way the professionalization of the court and the industry around it serves to insulate the justices from democratic feedback as well as contribute to the idea that the justices are law wizards to whom we *ought* to defer.

Racist troglodytes taking us back to Jim Crow (or worse) and preventing women from controlling our bodies, our money, our votes, and our futures. I hope every Blue state gerrymanders the hell out of voting districts. Either we roll over or we play by their rules—which are take-no prisoners-ruthless.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid

Joe Kent, director of the national counterterrorism center, resigned today over the war in Iran. “Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”

President Trump,
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
I support the values and the foreign policies that you campaigned on in 2016, 2020, 2024, which astenanted ray out rot ted merica ne presus ersto at the nade i ted the wealth
and prosperity of our nation.
In your first administration, you understood better than any modern President how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into never-ending wars. You demonstrated this by killing Qasam Solamani and by defeating ISIS.
Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again.
As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives.
I pray that you will reflect upon what we are doing in Iran, and who we are doing it for. The time for bold action is now. You can reverse course and chart a new path for our nation, or you can allow us to slip further toward decline and chaos. You hold …
