JUST IN: Trump is scrambling to stop the BBC from digging into the finances of his business empire after a judge ordered him to hand over records in his $10B defamation lawsuit against the network.

I'm sorry if you disagree with me but … #BirthControl is an extremely critical part of care for women. Hormonal birth control (Depo, the ‘pill’, etc.) is used by many women to regulate their menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand reproductive biology should STFU. #HerBodyHerChoice

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

Welcome to the Light of the Nine Realms. Norse mythology which doesn't feature Ragnarok and it's primary tension. Instead we study the time after a cataclysm, the neverending Aesir/Vanir war, which changed the fate of the Nine Realms. thaddeus.substack.com/s/light-of-t...

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

Trump’s OSHA is rolling back rules that mandate rest breaks and access to water and shade to protect workers from extreme heat on the job. Remember: Trump doesn’t care about workers. He never has and never will.

Welcome to #LightOfTheNineRealms, my living mythos—where Baldur, Thor, Loki, and others are not just legends but flawed, energetic beings learning how to shape the Nine Realms. This is mythology before the end—when the gods still have stories left to tell, adventures to live, and mistakes to make.

Tired of Kill the Gods narratives? Join me in the #LightoftheNineRealms. This is myth, before Ragnarök—when the gods still have stories left to tell, adventures to live, and mistakes to make. Because myths aren’t just about their ending—they’re about how they lived. #LivingMythos #NorseMythology

Loki: sly, sharp-tongued, and already the weaver of chaos. Trickery is his art, but beneath it lies a restless hunger—for recognition, revenge, or something deeper. Teased by Thor as "the littlest giant" Loki routinely proves himself more than capable. #Loki #NorseMythology #LightOfTheNineRealms

Hodr: the silent sentinel, a shadow among gods. Blind but not broken, he moves with the grace of intuition. Where others see darkness, Hodr feels the whispers of the Rootways, charting paths even the boldest gods dare not tread. A total bad-ass reboot! #Hodr #NorseMythology #LightOfTheNineRealms

HIDDEN AGENDAS: A tale of the #LightoftheNineRealms. Closing this thread, we share a second tale, where a Valkyrie is tasked with returning renegade deities who may be hiding in Midgard, behind its veils hoping to avoid Odin's ominous gaze. Thanks for reading! www.facebook.com/thaddeushowz...

In the perilous, ever-shifting timelines of #Midgard, they became hunters of gods—those who defied, hid, or found themselves lost in its temporal chaos—bringing them to heel with unerring precision, returning them to Asgard or binding their powers, forever. #LightoftheNineRealms #Valkyrie

I don't have a preference. When I am working an idea, I sink into the genre I am writing and embrace it. Depending on the story, I can play it straight if I have to. My latest experiment fuses mythology, magic and technology into something weirder than the sum of the parts. #LightOfTheNineRealms

THE MERCHANT OF JOTENHEIM Barnabus Grymm, the infamous Merchant of Jotunheim, prefers to sail the perilous seas between realms rather than navigate the treacherous politics of the 12 Elven houses of Svartálfheim. thaddeus.substack.com/p/the-recrui... #fantasy #amwriting #LightOfTheNineRealms

FBI PROFILE: WHO IS THE SANDMAN? Copy cat or Inheritor? How's he related to the serial killer, the Black Terror from the 1950s? Did his lethal actions stop the mob wars fighting over territory in Chicago? What's his connection to murdered Klansmen from the 50s to the 70s? #BlueCollarUniverse
