Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
I was so happy to hear how well the Greens did.
This looks wonderful!!!
Let a duck tell you.
I don't think counter-violence will free us Americans from our addiction to violence. Sept 11 2001 only deepened our addiction. We have to free ourselves.
Seriously, what kind of a sick fuck goes to war w/ the courts to NOT FEED PEOPLE?
Whitewashing Watch:
Historians, librarians and volunteers are racing to document museum displays and historical records they fear the Trump administration will remove or alter.

If someone claiming to be ICE approaches & won't show ID when asked, am I legally obliged by to cooperate with ANYTHING they do? If I don't obey their orderrs, is that actually a crime?
Not asking about the extra-legal BS they're getting away with. Asking about federal law and what it states.

If the last 190 days were a written satire, it would be dismissed as over the top.

People reveal their own wounds with words like that--both in the pointless hostility of the remark and the sad misuse of their imagination. Any & all glories can be connected somehow to vile things, if that's where we train our brains to go. Face the sun, my man.
You can be a Christian or a Trump fan, but not both. If you think otherwise, explain it to me. Just be sure you've explained it to Jesus first.
Sincerely, a secular fan of transcendent love.
Hullo World! I'm reading from SIEGE in support of the Pixel Project to End Violence Against Women--this Saturday at 8:30 Eastern Time. LIVE - ON - YE - OLDE - YOU - TUBE.
Nine full minutes long. But these are Talupéké minutes, and she packs a punch. Q& A afterwards!

Want to ask me where Book III is? Whether Pazel and Thasha will ever make out again? Why a certain character died (or didn't)? THIS IS YOUR CHANCE. Stop by my Reddit Fantasy AMA on Tuesday (8/19) and let fly.
Doing a r/fantasy AMA in support of The Pixel Project to End Violence Against Women, Tuesday (Aug 19) from 10:00 AM EST.
Come & heckle! Fielding questions about SIEGE, The Fire Sacraments, The Chathrand Voyage, what feminism means to me, love during wartime, etc. infinito.
And please share.
Something to be happy about: a 3500+ year-old dolphin fresco from the Minoan Palace of Knossos, Crete, complete with stylized sea urchins and some very worried looking fish.
The confirmation of Emil Bove to the 3rd Circuit is a direct assault on the integrity of our justice system.
A former Trump lawyer, Bove ordered a 15-year DOJ veteran to lie to a federal judge — then helped fire him for refusing.
Now he’s a judge. Corruption in action.
Just stumbled over these lines from SIEGE, written early last year. To think I worried once that readers wouldn't be able to relate to such passages.
The Trump cult has unleashed a racial profiling attack & kidnapping force. Watch the video, and recall that what gets filmed is only the tiniest fraction of the abuse going on. This is racist insanity run amok. Trump voters, this is on you.
Just watched Episode 1 of The Prisoner (1967), and I'm 100% sure it was made by a time-traveling David Lynch.
Hehehe! I'll try that one on my editor...
Thank you so much! I definitely can't wait forever--I'm living to get this book out in the world! Back to it now...
Just a cool map of lions then & now. I love story research.
Such a pleasure to meet you, Caitlin. Great times. And a great panel.
At Readercon, I'll be reading from (what else?) Siege, the last book in The Fire Sacraments trilogy. Which I'm STILL WRITING AND IT'S KILLING ME.
But the chapter's a fun one, an oasis of peace in the middle of a book about war.
