Biden seems to have mastered something that escaped university presidents: you don’t have to do what the NYT tells you. You can just … not do that.

A bit of promo as reaching readers becomes increasingly difficult. My current contemporary fantasy series is inspired by British myth and folklore. Dan Mackmain is mostly human, but he is a dryad's son, so the Green Man sends him to solve problems when the mundane and the uncanny collide.

Yes, I have a LOT OF BEEF with Biden. So much beef. and There is no version of the story that involves Republicans gaining more control of our government now that ends well. Not a single one. Come on. We know this. The answer is: Voting can't be the END of our fight for change. Ever.

Remember: vote downballot! Too many people say they won't vote b/c they don't like either Trump or Biden. Leave it blank and vote Blue the rest of the way, then. If Dems control both houses, impeachment becomes a real possibility.

Do you like eating food that doesn’t have human body parts in it after a worker fell into a vat? Highways not littered with truckers who have been awake for 72 hours? Or maybe you don’t want to breathe toxic chemicals at work? Clarence says “fuck you”.

It may be too late for the Dems to get another candidate on the ballot if Biden resigns. We all had better stop badmouthing Joe until this question is settled, or Trump may run unopposed.

If you have older friends and relatives who are considering voting for Trump, explain this to them: One of the goals of Project 2025 is to completely do away with Social Security. If they need theirs, and who doesn't, they should be voting blue.

Classic American political dialogue is premised on the idea that we share fundamental values but disagree on how best to promote them. I haven’t believed this for a while. Other than “I prefer to be alive and not dead” and “I like pudding,” I do not share values with these people.

214 Massachusetts Avenue NE, Washington, D.C., U.S. It would be terrible if people started picketing and protesting. Tsk tsk. Why, that might even make the major media start exposing them.

Tsk, it would be really awful if people decided to picket or protest at the H.F, wouldn't it? Very rude and uncivilized, to have an angry mob attracting attention to them. Why, it might even make the major media start talking about them! Terrible.

Treason is defined as giving aid and comfort to an enemy of the United States. Trump's statements about the Ukraine and western Europe are doing just that for Putin. Also, disrupting NATO. Pres. Biden, charge the bastard!!!

So -- what can we do about the SCROTUS decision of presidental immunity? Support downballot candidates. Get out the vote for Democratic senators and representatives. If the Senate and House are both blue, impeachment will stick this time. So will vetoing the worst excesses if Trump does win

Very, depressing. I agree. We're going to hear a lot of carefully disguised "Harris can't win. She's a girl." Also, but "this election is too crucial to risk her."

We could list all the groups that will be harmed if Trump and his minions take over America, but let's keep it simple: If you are not a white male with money, a vote for Trump is a stab in your own back.

How to support an author for free: Write reviews and post about favorite books on your social media. Word of mouth has kept many a book in print. Also, mention their books to clerks in appropriate bookstores, esp. the indie stores. If they don't have them, ask why.

The one constant in my conversations about “Project 2025” is that almost everyone is taken aback by what’s in these plans, even people who really pay attention to politics - if not by how radical it is, then by how far-reaching, detailed, and aggressively explicit it is.
