Happy release day to Aviary: a sapphic, surreal, literary-leaning horror-thriller that was so hard to write it almost drove me into total madness. In addition to the stated dedications, it is *especially* dedicated to angry women and my fellow chaos queers.
BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV declares the Iran War is “unjust” and “is not resolving anything.” After suggesting Trump is committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure, he called on Americans to contact Congress to help end the war.
This book is wild! No secret that I am a fan of Maria's writing and this one so good!!
Maria Dong@mariadongwrites.bsky.social · 5mo agoAviary, my existential psychological thriller infused with psychedelic, avian-body-horror dread comes out April 7th! If you’re into sapphic cutthroat longing, dark fairy tales that mix the Grimm brothers with Korean folklore, and a little CIA white torture (and a lot of trains), check it out!
NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.
Hey that’s about the cost of the SSI Restoration Act, which would cut recipient poverty by 60%, eliminate marriage penalties, and modernize draconian asset limits.

TEXAS — A father shoots and kills his British daughter LUCY HARRISON who was visiting… after arguing about Trump’s sexual assault allegations… and no charges? Because he says he was just showing her his gun and it went off? 🤔 local12.com/news/nation-...
Agree with this 100%. Get started on this ASAP. Don't get caught with your pants down. We know they are desperate to pass this. Also, I know these things are prohibitively expensive for a lot of people, along with other barriers. Please consider crowdfunding and enlisting a trusted friend to

AOC: We all saw the performance Bondi had. She was screaming and crashing, and I think it’s because she knows she is implicated in a massive cover-up to protect a ring of pedophiles through:
A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today. It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files. Just wow.
"This is Mia, 7 years old -- 'I don't want to be in this place. I want to be in my school'" -- Walkinshaw confronts Lyons with letters written by kids being detained by ICE
As a reminder, because McIver had the temerity to attempt oversight of ICE in her own district, the regime is actively prosecuting her and threatening her with a long prison sentence. But she's not backing down.
Jen Bendery@jbendery.bsky.social · 7mo agoHOOOOOO boy. Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.): "Do you consider yourself a religious man?" Lyons: "Yes ma'am." McIver: "How do you think Judgement Day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?" "Do you think you're going to hell, Mr. Lyons?"

In Response to "How is Everyone" asked at the start of the Teams meeting 2026 They shot an ICU nurse in the street While I was eating hashbrowns for breakfast
FOUR new deaths in ICE detention. That puts the total this year at 30 people dead; the highest in ICE's history and worse than even during the COVID years. It's clear that the system is breaking down. Many of these are preventable deaths.
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.gov · 8mo agoIn the 90 minutes since I posted this, I've gotten two more death notifications. ICE has a responsibility to take care of these people, something they are clearly disregarding. This is beyond horrifying. We must ensure dignity and humanity for detained people in this country.

I guess one way to distract people from your friendship with a sex criminal is to claim that you are friends with a political murderer.
My god. My god. Oh fucking hell. God.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 9mo agoTrump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...
CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination
Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

This is far worse than anyone expected. Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps. All as mass internment camps are being built.
