Normally I'd post my books (the link is in the bio) but what I really need right now is a helping hand with my sick kitty, Squeaky. We're on the road to recovery but the vet bills for her and my senior dog this month have wiped me out.

This is classic Coercive and Controlling Behaviour…

It obviously suggests Israel is fearful.

They know as far as global PR is concerned their game is finally up!!

Israel forbade people from celebrating the prisoners’ release on Monday, firing teargas at family members waiting near Ofer prison. A flyer distributed by the Israeli military warned people that “we are surveilling you everywhere”.

Wow. Trump's masked federal agents tear-gassed a crowd in Chicago and ended up gassing a bunch of local Chicago cops who were there to *deescalate tensions.* One local cop was captured on film washing out his eyes with a hose:

George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.

My Sigils books are science fantasy in their own world, but they are heavily inspired by the tech level of 1910s America.

All games are made from materials that would have been available at the time. "Pocks" uses wood and glass marbles.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

Because REPUBLICANS.

MAGA Mike Johnson sent the House away for another week.

Sitting at home on a paid vacation.

They are supposed to be engaging with their constituents.

Town halls and such.

NOT HAPPENING.

Remember this.

They get paid and our military and air traffic controllers do not.
