The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Yesterday, over 30,000 people protested against ICE in below-zero temperatures. Amazing work, everyone. Minnesota strong. Tomorrow, there will be more of us.

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home!

Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.

Let's start the year off with something fun. 💙

Which quote did you get?

...

The Kingsport Chronicles is a sapphic Little Mermaid retelling, full of high-seas adventure, political intrigue, and a world rediscovering that magic truly exists.

This might have been the longest break I've taken after releasing a new book.

I'm nervous and excited for what's next, a book that's very different from the Kingsport Chronicles, but I hope everyone will love these new characters as much as I do.🖤

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

“'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.'

*More of this, please*"

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

I love seeing the massive #NoKings turnouts in major cities, but what I love even more are the hundreds and hundreds of small, rural towns that had relatively bigger turnouts compared to their populations 💙🙏

Growing up with a speech impediment and getting called the R word while simultaneously being placed in the gifted program, I realized at about seven years old that people think being able to communicate in a very specific way is the same thing as being "intelligent" and "right."
This is the thing I’ve been trying to explain to people. Just people AGI is return right answers doesn’t mean it’s reasoning.

The biggest flaw in how we think about intelligence is rooted in how we’re taught (literally in schools) to value answers over showing the work (reasoning) behind it.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"
