For me, these two statements about Trump will always define who Lindsey Graham was "I think he's a kook. I think he's crazy. I think he's unfit for office” “What concerns me..is this endless, endless attempt to label the guy some kind of kook not fit to be president” youtu.be/kSEvatYTgyY?...

I forget who but someone on my timeline recently was asking for recommendations for Good Recent Cyberpunk? Bang Bang Bodhisattva easily skyrockets towards the top of my all-timers. It's probably the best of my "recent Cyberpunk" just by that metric alone. Very highly recommended.
My trans cyberpunk debut Bang Bang Bodhisattva is out in hardback, paperback and audiobook! It was a finalist for the 2024 Lambda award for speculative fiction! www.amazon.com/Bang-Bodhisa...

NEW by me: Trump rally next up for Freedom 250. A bevy of America's largest corporations are sponsoring and participating. Freedom 250 is Trump's hijack of America's birthday celebration. Questions swirl around $100M in taxpayer dollars and pay-to-play scheme. www.thequeenzone.com/trump-hijack...

So not surprisingly, no one from Freedom 250 sponsors Deloitte, Mastercard, SAP, Scotts Miracle-Gro, UnitedHealth Group or United Airlines has responded to multiple inquiries. Via @thequeenzone.bsky.social: www.thequeenzone.com/trump-hijack...

"As Republican politicians cower in fear .. one incredibly brave woman stood up to the man who assaulted her. She did this with full knowledge that he would use every bit of firepower he could muster to destroy her. And she won." This is beautiful Definitely read it:
"The verdict finding Trump sexually abused & defamed Carroll is now final. He's out of courts to shop this to, & he’ll get no more appeals. And since he had to prepay the judgment & deposit it w/the court — along w/interest! — she won’t have to wait for him to cut the check." — @lizdye.bsky.social

... and effect.
With a year of data in, the results are clear: the marginal ICE arrest is NOT a criminal. You can barely even tell on the right side of these charts of arrests of convicts when an ICE operation starts and ends. The spikes for noncriminals are massive.

How the fuck does the Texas district even have fucking jurisdiction except in the right wing argument of "all the judges here agree with us so we want it to"???
Major breaking news tonight. NYU Langone has received a federal criminal subpoena over its provision of trans youth care. The subpoena originates from a grand jury empaneled in the Northern District of Texas. It's a massive escalation in attacks on trans poviders. Read our breaking story:

According to @reedsy.bsky.social , AI won't find your book if it isn't on Reddit. Good to know, I will never put my book on Reddit.

America’s 250th: brought to you mostly by toxic masculinity, climate catastrophe/genocide enablers, the military industrial complex, and surveillance capitalism.
The sponsors list is buried on the Freedom 250 site. Here's how to get to it: 1. Go to Freedom250.org 2. Scroll down to: "Freedom 250 is powered by our patriotic partners" 3. Click on button "View All" 4. Toggle to tab "Sponsors"

🔥 NEW by me: Mike Johnson will speak at Trump’s Freedom 250 | Rededicate 250 event in DC on May 17. The all-day event event is set to “rededicate our country as One Nation under God." Sponsored by Mastercard and United Airlines, among 15 companies. www.impactivize.org/impactivizer...

Jared Golden needs to be outta a job soon.
With a final tally of 213-214, the war powers resolution to disengage US forces from the war on Iran failed by a single vote. Representative Jared Golden of Maine was the sole Democratic lawmaker to vote against the measure. Had he voted for it, it would have passed, handing Trump an historic loss.

Chinese fantasy novels reimagine the past with modern tech and ideology. A new book argues they also help reinforce authoritarian politics. www.wired.com/story/made-i...
Well someone's trying to get reelected I see. This is a good thing and I hope it's a sign of more to come. #FuckICE
Interesting that the House today voted to extend TPS protections for Haitians in a rebuke of Trump's effort to end it (that effort was blocked in court but is now pending at SCOTUS). www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

People should bring up that surveillance pricing is almost certainly racist because the inputs will be structurally racist. Imagine food staples from your culture costing more because of your background. That's what's on offer.
Doug Ford saying that he won't vote no on surveillance pricing because he believes in capitalism and the free market is a great example of why I could never be a journalist because I would be kicked out of every press conference for screaming "THAT'S NOT WHAT ANY OF THAT MEANS, DOUG"
