The average American simply has no idea how quickly the infrastructure that keeps us safe and healthy is collapsing. These systems run in the background thanks to government employees who quietly do critical work. Those employees are being purged and systems are being destroyed.
One of several top CDC officials to leave their post this week—after Kennedy fired the agency’s director for refusing to “rubberstamp unscientific, reckless directives"—is telling all. Including that Kennedy has never been briefed by any of the center’s scientists on major diseases. trib.al/j3PrEDR
I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
Giving military honors to Ashli Babbitt is the cherry on top of the $5 million Trump gave to her family. Meanwhile, there are dead and maimed Capitol police officers who have been treated with disdain and hostility for doing everything possible to protect the members of Congress and the public.

I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.
Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties

Today, the children at Annunciation Catholic School were shot while praying. Two were killed in the pews. Thoughts and prayers are NOT enough. We need immediate and comprehensive gun safety laws. That’s what saves lives.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: - It’s ‘voilà,’ not ‘wallah!’ - It’s ‘a lot,’ not ‘alot.’ - It’s ‘further ado,’ not ‘farther adieu.’ - It’s ‘flesh out,’ not ‘flush out.’ - It’s ‘sneak peek,’ not ‘sneak peak.’ No worries if not!!!
I added some plot points/ideas to my story yesterday. For a pantser this is a good thing. #5amwritersclub #romancelandia #amwriting #writers
This is not who we are. We must join together to call this out, to make more people understand what is happening and work to stop it.

This is Meeting The Moment, from Pritzker. Please watch this 90-second clip.
Nice! I had another conversation with my characters today. Jotted notes. Good stuff
There was more too. We both had bags from Portugal with us. Talked travel and kids. So many things. I hope she finds my books and my fb page
HAPPENING NOW: At 2:00 p.m. ET, Judge Paula Xinis is set to hold a telephone conference regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia's newly-filed lawsuit challenging his removal to Uganda. Abrego was detained by ICE earlier today. I plan to live-post the hearing for @lawfaremedia.org. Follow along ⬇️🧵
The letter, called the “Katrina Declaration,” strongly criticized President Trump’s proposal to significantly reduce FEMA’s role and push more of the disaster response burden onto others.
Hence Canadians boycotting travel, booze, Vegas, etc. We don't want to see your citizens suffer, but it's our only option as individuals. This is all grassroots, it's us...each household and we're holding firm. Yes, he should be sued for defaming cities and states. He should be arrested for treason.
In line today, met a woman and we had SO much in common...even birth order and sib experience. Also she had 2nd chance romance, blended fam w/her HS Love. I've written that! She asked my pen name. 😍Never say romance plots can't happen! #5amwritersclub #romancelandia #writing
this just hurts to read.
My own sense of what's coming next has heightened a LOT the last few days. I wonder if his has? If so, I'm glad he's fearing it with every breath.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
This is the heart of everyone saying there can be no TENSION in a romance if it had to end happily. With every book release, about 5 people message me saying they skipped to the end to make sure it was going to turn out okay even though the genre was a literal promise it would. That's the job.

It is NEVER too late. I wrote for 15 years before my first book sold! My kids went from diapers to driving in that time. It is NEVER too late.

Good to hear 😀
“Donald Trump is attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he is causing working families.” - Gov. Pritzker And distract from Epstein. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/AFeJk34O2R9u...

Anytime someone tells you the adult content purge is about keeping children safe, ask them how soon they're going to hold gun manufacturers accountable for school shootings.

ICE is arguing that journalist Mario Guevara shouldn't be released on bond because his reporting is "dangerous." Public records show that argument was fed to them by the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office. New from me in the @georgiarecorder.com: georgiarecorder.com/2025/08/21/i...
The One Ugly Distraction let ACA premium tax credits expire—jacking up health care costs for 22M Americans. In VA, a 55-year-old making $63K will pay $2,410 more just to keep their plan. Working families pay the price for GOP cruelty.

OMG...we're close in age. I can tell by the photos. Nice to be here and I enjoyed our chat this morning. Happy birthday to sis
Yep. Every stage has its joys.
I went a long time before realizing that not everyone had personal knowledge of LGBTQ+ folks. How sad for them. There's so much "more" in life than just what we know/experience. Hence my Live and Let Live choice
He exhaled my name with what sounded like both surprise and resignation. It felt like a curse. A BLACKOUT brought them together. A BLACKOUT tore them apart. books2read.com/Blackout-Sch... #amreading #Romance "Chemistry is off the charts!" "An emotionally beautiful story." Now on audio!
hell's soldiers...love it. And he's feeling the heat right now, the bastard.
She was still the girl who climbed the apple tree to shake them loose for us kids. She was still the girl who helped me home after a blood soaked dogbite. I saw her since covid and she had 20 yrs with the love of her life...better than lots of people. Diane...this is for you.
I learned this at 6 when a neighbour had a baby at 16. She "decided" to only like girls from then on b/c the dad ran off. Which seemed totally reasonable to my 6 yo mind. 1962...and I understood she was the same person she'd always been no matter who she "liked". She's a great grandma now.
So that asswipe Dobson must be feelin' toasty about now. (hoo boy, I'm in a mood today!)
The really high ones crawl right across vehicles. We had a mom of 2 crushd in her police cruiser by a drunk in a truck. A toddler & an infant motherless. the driver was busted driving drunk again 6 weeks later.
I just don't understand how "Live and Let Live" is so fucking hard for some people. It's simple. "You do you and I'll do me." If we all managed it that way...think of the lives saved and lived with joy. The lack of grace some people have is astounding. Worms for brains, is how I see them. Worms.
