🎶 All you Facists bound to lose 🎵 No kings, no thrones, no crowns; just voters with zero interest in being managed by a man with a crown complex. Vote early & show up ready to defend the plain, radical idea that power belongs to the people. #NoKingsDay

Thread. And yes, if we're going to bat back this nonsense then we have to all have each others' backs and say this is unacceptable.

🧵 Attention, Fellow SFF Artists and Authors -- here is my response to Must Read Magazines, after they presented an Asimov's art contract expecting me to waive all Moral Rights and Copyright to my art. And, I would strongly advise the following to my fellow pros…. 1/

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

These are my latest one-of-a-kind raku pieces. No one’s buying right now, and I understand - art isn’t always the priority in difficult times. But I’m still making, and sharing a little beauty feels worthwhile. A like or share might help these pieces find their people. 🙏

It ys knaverye to thynke you kan gayne any honour or renoun by puttinge your name on a marvelous and excellente thinge that you did not yn any waye builde, create, or devyse. Yif Ich signe my name to a Van Gogh, Ich am not a payntere Ich am a vandal.

Fourteen years ago, HBO's 'The Newsroom' laid out the truth about voter ID in this segment. It’s striking how little the arguments — or the tactics — have changed. Still a solution in search of a problem. History doesn’t repeat itself — it gets rerun.

Dr. Fauci is a hero. He really is. He helped guide America thru a mass death event. Millions more could have died but they did not, thanks to him. Everyone over 70 owes him a debt. It is disgusting that we live in a country that not only dishonors him but actively smears his good name.

300,000 Haitians legally living in the U.S. have officially lost their Temporary Protected Status this week. ICE is reportedly planning to target Haitian communities and fast-track deportations to Haiti, which is controlled by violent gangs and deep in crisis. Trump’s cruelty knows no bounds.
