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

Today I asked protesters in New York City: "What are you worried America is turning into?" Their answers were poignant, and defiant. Watch the video I took (edited by masterful @peter-berger.bsky.social).
Hear from marchers at today's vast No Kings rally in New York City: "I'm glad to see everybody out here right now, knowing that people's eyes are open—and they're fighting for what's right."

This whole thread is worth reading.
Cannot express enough how much what happened at that meeting three weeks ago has changed things on the ground. Courthouse arrests started within days, then check-in arrests. Worksite raids, once rare, began happening daily. Detention has skyrocketed over capacity. People are going missing.

State troops sent to Los Angeles by the Trump administration, without the approval of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, were expected to sleep on floors or outdoors, a source told the Chronicle.

We hit 51! I guess that's another "goal", but... nothing seems to have changed or happened. Isn't something supposed to happen with you achieve a "goal"?!? 😆 Anyway... over halfway to the first 100 signatures! Thanks to those who have signed & shared!! To those who haven't... pretty please?

There is a bird flu vaccine for vultures and condors. There is a bird flu vaccine in development for cattle (by Moderna, for one). But a bird flu vaccine for humans by Moderna has been cancelled by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS): wapo.st/43kxnVf (gift article).

All 7 articles on top of NYT are written from insanely pro-Trump-bias compared with reality. Russia stories make it seem like Trump is rationally weighing foreign policy rather than serving interest of Putin for 10+ years. Other 4 articles are SaneWashing and minimizing scope & impact of corruption.
