I look forward to connecting with other Bluesky newbies. I am working on a novel based on our current post-Dobbs reality. Here is an article I published in October of 2021.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

U.S. Military Kills Another 6 People in 5th Caribbean Strike, Trump Says

How shameful and disgusting to be a citizen of a nation that purposely murders people illegally and proudly. Our government has eroded into nothing better than Nazis and thugs!

Gov. Bill Lee says Trump’s military-police occupation of Memphis “may never end.”

“We have just begun. We do know this is going to last for months… In fact, I will tell you that it will last forever.”

Nearly every media outlet is announcing they will refuse to sign the Pentagon’s new rule stating they cannot report information if it’s not government “authorized.”

Even Newsmax is refusing to sign.

George Stephanopolous did what every anchor and host should have been doing since Bush 2000: Rejecting the bullshit, gaslighting, and rude, evasive filibustering the GOP has perfected to hide their lies.

NO MORE BULLSHIT.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Another appropriate headline, “ICE Agents Escalate Violence Against Peaceful Demonstrators.” Your article should clearly point out that assaulting peaceful demonstrators is a crime and an egregious violation of the fundamental rights of all Americans.

After ICE badly broke the leg of a guy detained at a Carson City car wash back in August, he's been in the hospital with 24/7 private security guard. Which means taxpayers have already paid around $40...

MAGA thinks the majority will sit there and just accept masked, armed ICE agents to continue terrorizing their streets.

They are wrong.

Dangerous, desperate overreach by a weakened Administration.
