Republicans want $1 BILLION in new taxpayer funding to shore up security for Trump's White House ballroom. And don't forget: Corporate donations to construct the ballroom will be tax-deductible. Trump is sticking us with the tab for his vanity project while ignoring what the country really needs.

I'm so excited to learn that The Historic Traveler made THE CLEANSING its featured book of the month! Also, I love this line from their review: "Alvear builds the narrative around that tightening sense of dread, showing how easily ritual purity can become a weapon." thehistorictraveler.com

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

With federal agents becoming more aggressive and committing more constitutional violations, states must act to make sure we can hold these agents accountable in court. Justice can't wait.

States Should Allow People to Sue Federal Agents for Violating Rights

Amid rampant abuse by federal agents, such as ICE, state legislatures can pass critical laws that allow people to take federal agents to court.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

When the reviewer has a great voice! LOL "So yeah—4.5 stars. Not because it’s perfect, but because it’s a lil different. And honestly, by the end, you’re thinking- Maybe the gods were never a problem, but people were?" Yes! Yes! That's it exactly! mrbookreview.com/review-the-c...

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing? ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW. I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Hey #BookSky! You want to get your hot little hands on a copy of OLD GODS AND OTHER TALES a couple of weeks early? What about a limited special edition PDF? What's so special about it? Well, along with the stories, I added three pieces of art to it. And there are only ten of them.

The “American Dream” of owning a home is now a pipe dream for most of us. The rich have taken all the wealth and left us to fight over the scraps.

It should be illegal to be this cute

Freyja and her cats, Ludwig Pietsch, 1874. A generous gift from Thor, especially since they could fly and pull a chariot. If you want a good harvest, you should leave offerings for cats…Dreamies, meat sticks, mice braised in cream…

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Why is it acceptable for the president to use taxpayer money to fly overseas and cut a ribbon at his own golf course? Don’t normalize this abuse of office. It’s blatant corruption.
