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

Donald Trump is senile. The project 2025 people are running the show and Trump is golfing and signing executive orders and staying out of prison. That's it. He can't even speak coherently anymore.

Trump and Republicans in Congress are trying to pull off one of the biggest heists in U.S. history. The so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” is robbery, plain and simple. And it’s being committed by the billionaire class and the politicians they put into office.

Miami officials voted to cancel November's elections & move city elections to even-number years. That by itself would be good due to higher turnout, but unilaterally extending their own terms is a power grab. State officials argue it's illegal since changing the city charter requires voter approval

Within minutes of the attack on Jewish demonstrators in Boulder the FBI and HLS declared it a terrorist attack and rolled in. It's been 8 hours since the targeted assassinations of Democratic legislators in MN and Bongino says they're "assisting local partners." Silence from Trump. We see you.

Republicans BURIED a line in their "big beautiful bill" that would help Trump officials ignore court orders. One problem? It violates the Senate's rules. I’m going to fight to strip this provision out. And we need everyone in the fight against this bill.

Some salt for the popcorn. Trump and Musk always lie. Why believe they are feuding today? Could be true, but from what we know, a fake feud is just as likely. My concern is enjoying their feud as presented keeps a person from seeing events as they actually unfold. open.substack.com/pub/erichens...

The Trump administration's spending cuts and restrictions on foreign students are triggering a brain drain — and American scientists are panicking. U.S. researchers' fears are coming true. America's science pipeline is drying up, and countries like China are seizing the opportunity to surge ahead.

This is Maura Healy’s office. No one likes to answer or return calls. +1 (617) 725-4005 but Maura Healy apparently only cares about white people and not the brown immigrants who get kidnapped without due process.

Everyone call Maura Healy's office today and tell her that our local law enforcement being used to carry out the mission of ICE is deplorable, and we want her to condemn what's happening in a big way or her political career is over in Massachusetts. That made me sick.

Proud of the people who tried to protect this mother and her kids. This is deplorable and we should keep doxxing ICE punks as publicly and often as possible. Don't let them feel comfortable in polite society. Make sure their friends, coworkers and family know this is how they spend their time.

Does anyone know if this woman has a legal defense fund? I have been following this case closely and I'm outraged. The fact that she's free is a huge relief but her life is almost certainly changed forever from this. A revoked visa & 6 weeks in prison in the middle of your PhD program is crazy.
