Our criminal, lying, insane president will be speaking tomorrow night. My response... "What's on Netflix?" #FDT

Great review from Kirkus Reviews... #gaymystery #crochet #craftmystery

Ulysses reviews The Pink by Marshall Thornton "It’s 113 years ago in Chicago. In his first attempt at historical fiction, Thornton takes the reader on a time-travel adventure that is convincing and emotionally potent. 5*." www.queeromanceink.com/2026/06/29/r... @marshallthornton.bsky.social

#CNN, #MSNOW and even #HUFFPOST are treating democratic socialists as though they're somehow more dangerous than the most rightwing (fascist) nut jobs in our government.

Doddering Don won't sign a bipartisan affordable housing act unless congress passes his voter suppression bill SAVE ACT - Basically, we have to give up our right to vote in order to get affordable housing. FDT. #AFFORDABLEHOUSING

Editor's pick from Booklife for Half Double Murder coming July 28th. #booklife #queercrochetmystery #queermystery

Dear #Paramount+ I might consider signing up again if you broadcast the opening of the Obama center... great lineup.

Remember when the Biden Crime Family launched a smartphone company, collected $100 deposits from hundreds of thousands of people, then canceled the whole thing and refused to issue refunds. Yeah... they were awful.

Releasing July 28th. Preorder is open. #gaymyster #lgbtmystery #craftmystery #crochet

My new book. #gaymystery #historicalmystery #booksky #gaysky #gayfiction

All my books en masse. #gayfiction #gaymystery #gaybooks #booksky #bookporn

Six more days until the official release. #newrelease #booksky #gaymystery #gayfiction #historicalmystery #chicago

This "war" in #Iran is costing 1 billion dollars a day. It would have cost 35 billion a year to extend the #ACA subsidies. A little over a month. Doddering Don has stolen your heath care to wage a war he can't even truthfully explain. You see this regime's priorities?

Republicans are attacking Talarico for saying God is non-binary. Apparently they think God has a penis.

So I'm reading that tariffs cost every American family between 1,000 to 1,700$ last year. That on top of increased health costs among other things. I call that the TRUMP TAX. My personal TRUMP TAX is $250 a month. What's yours?

In his press conference announcing #ICE will leave Minneapolis, Tom Homan said, “As a result of our efforts here Minnesota is now less of a sanctuary state for criminals." Well, yeah, removing ICE will lessen the number of criminals in Minnesota... significantly.

When your government is composed of criminals, the enemy is justice.

It's telling the Bribable #Bondi brought up the success of the stock market yesterday. As if the fact that the Epstein class is making money hand over fist should be enough for all of us.

Just sent this to HBO this morning: "Yesterday you broadcast 2 Pro-ICE ads. This is going to impact on whether I renew or not. F**K ICE. And F**K YOU if you keep running these ads." #ICE #HBO

I have every faith that the DOJ will treat the votes they seized from the 2020 Fulton County election with the same non-partisan, ethical, and constitutional way they've dealt with the Epstein files. Which is to say, they're bunch of crooks likely to plant false evidence. #fultoncounty #epstein

So the DOJ is busy arresting people for protesting a radical rightwing church... but ICE officers who murder innocent people walk free. Once again I have to say PAM BONDI belongs in prison.

"On leave" is not how we deal with murderers in this country.

ICE are domestic terrorists. Pass it on.

The Trump-Kennedy Center's new slogan.... "Repelling artists and audiences since 2025"

The only people in this country suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome are those who believe he's a decent person working in their best interests.

Canceled Paramount+ this morning. Two words. Bari Weiss. #Bariweiss

So, Doddering Don has made 3.4 billion in grift during this term... today he's going to give a "major" speech on affordability. This should go well.

Reading the news it's beginning to look like the Trump regime has watched every Mel Brooks movie and mistaken them for a guide to governance.

So Larry Summers is stepping back from public life because of his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. Could Steve Bannon be next? Please, please, please, pretty please. #epstein

I know people are disappointed that a handful of democrats voted to "open" the government. But, let's be real, if the republicans are willing to use hungry poor people as pawns they would never have agreed to healthcare for the middle class.

Apparently Doddering Don was on 60 Minutes last night. I guess appeasement is now the journalistic standard.

Just released.... #2.

I have to say... I never expected to feel like I live in an Atlantic City casino being run into the ground by a corrupt nepo-baby billionaire.

So great to wake up this morning and discover that inflation is at 3% and my social security check will go up 2.8%. Allowing seniors to fall behind is not good for the economy (leaving aside the cruelty and complete un-Christlike aspects). #SS #COLA

This is Suttons Bay, Michigan. What my father would have called a one-horse town. There were between five hundred people there. Dozens and dozens of cars drove by honking support. 1 person drove by with a Trump sign in his window. 1. My favorite red hat said, Make Orwell Fiction Again. #NoKingsDay

So... in twenty-five years when people hear the phrase "trumped up charges" will they wonder if that's a reference to our current president?

I saw some reports that Pam "Bribable Barbie" Bondi had to keep referring to her prepared insults (lies actually) while in front of the Senate because she couldn't remember them. That does explain why she's having so much trouble remembering our constitution.

One minute I'm mocked as a fragile liberal snowflake and the next I'm a violent leftist terrorist. No wonder I never know what to wear.

Reading that Elon Musk is asking his followers to cancel Netflix. I find that a reason to keep it. If you're not signed up for Netflix, you might want to consider it.

In the Democratic Party, any politician who used a phrase as absurd as "war ravaged Portland" would no longer have a career. Shame on the spineless Anti-American worms in the Republican Party.

Jon Stewart deserves the Presidential Medal Of Freedom... someday when it has meaning again.
