Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

The typical joke is that they don’t have a health care plan and they’ll never have one.

But they do and it passed last July: taking away four people’s health care to pay for a tax cut for one millionaire family.

Lindsey Graham has been one of the biggest enablers of Donald Trump’s violent rhetoric. South Carolina deserves better than Graham & can get it by electing @drannieandrews.com over Graham.

It is concerning to see the President target public officials for simply doing their jobs. Reminding our troops to follow the law is not sedition, and it should never be treated that way. This is not how a healthy democracy operates, and I will keep focusing on what matters to West Michigan.

For folks heading to #PaxU and itching to kill time on the trip, consider listening to The Chaos Protocol! It’s poetic, fantastical, intense, emotional, trans as hell, and rooted in our signature noncolonial and orientalist approach to storytelling. ✨

Available wherever you pod your casts!

Both of my parents (who exclusively attended segregated schools) are only a few years older than Ruby Bridges. Economists could do much better work on segregation if they took the time to understand what it was and what it did to people who are still here.
TIL Ruby Bridges is only 71 years old. man alive Jim Crow was just yesterday

Hello! today is 🎂🎉MY BIRTHDAY! 🎉🎂

For my birthday, plz read what is up of my webcomic/signal-boost this skeet? It would mean a lot to me!

Only 50 pages so far. It hasn't updated in ages, but I'm still working on it. Updates will resume when the backlog reaches 50 pages.

Hi.

Please give me some book recommendations to listen to on my billion hour flight to PAX on Thursday. Bonus points if they’re written by PoC.

I like sci-fi, urban fantasy, cyberpunk, and adventure, just to name a few genres.

Some controversial ideas of mine:

1. It’s better to say things voters agree with than things they disagree with

2. When in office, it’s important to try to do a good job of governing
