Science Fiction and Fantasy blog on favorite books I have been a Science Fiction and Fantasy fan for 40 years. I want to blog about books I don't want to get lost in the past. That said, I still read new science fiction/fantasy, so some are recent.

the thing is we...softly had that coup after J6 & before Biden's inauguration, with Mark Milley telling Pelosi he'd taken Trump out of the nuclear chain of command. The all the institutions of democracy & those in power failed to jail Trump & prevent Trump 2. Whoops! www.nbcnews.com/news/militar...
nbcnews.com
Milley acted to prevent Trump from misusing nuclear weapons, war with China, book says
The book also revealed a previously unreported call between then-Vice President Mike Pence and former Vice President Dan Quayle.

Eight losses this week. The Postal Service ordered all fifty states to upload their voters into a federal portal. Then admitted it hasn't built the portal. That's the one they thought was going well. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/great-news...

Creating New Liberal Media The Left needs new media, as Tim Onion says. One problem is there are so many voices who need funding. If say, ActBlue were to create a ThinkLeft group with a menu to let people make recurring contributions to 5 websites, maybe that could create enough funding.

It's time to entirely boycott the immigration justice system in the United States. If the government wants to grab and deport people going through the legal process to make 3000 deportations a day, without regard for legal status, at least don't make it easy for them.

Why do I now believe the oligarchs are purposely tanking the economy so they can short it and make millions? -- it explains why Trump purposely insulted our biggest trading partners, resulting in anti-US boycotts -- it explains why they think firing 100,000s of thousands of people is a good thing.
