The Last Rose of Summer is a true story about corruption in # cancer research. I discovered a cheap, plant-derived drug that could replace some much more toxic (but more lucrative) therapies. # BigPharma got involved and suppressed the research. Eventually I had to publish the story in thinly veiled fiction and survive a bunch of murder attempts. "Mary Austin" is a pseudonym, as my publisher forced me to use one. So... hi, I'm "Mary." 🤷‍♀️

Ha! Elizabeth Warren has just placed House #Republicans in a terrible position like they deserve. Trump publicly supported a bill to stop investors hoarding #housing in the US, like more functional nations have long since done. Sen Warren called the #GOP bluff and is trying to get a bill passed that would do that and other things to lower our absurd housing costs. Now the rats on the sinking ship have to either pass it or get hammered on it in the midterms.

Lol, Trump does not command the US military. They are not obligated to go die to distract from the #Epstein files, and thank God a lot of service members know that.

#Trump is needlessly causing a humanitarian crisis in #Cuba with his blockade. Obviously, this isn't about anyone's human rights or US national security-- it never is with him. He doesn't want to liberate anyone, just replace other tyrants with himself.

You don't have to like Cuba's regime to want the people of Cuba to have medical care, so people in the US are providing solar generators for our neighbors' hospitals during this crisis.

The Last Rose of Summer is a true story about corruption in # cancer research. I discovered a cheap, plant-derived drug that could replace some much more toxic (but more lucrative) therapies. # BigPharma got involved and suppressed the research. Eventually I had to publish the story in thinly veiled fiction and survive a bunch of murder attempts. "Mary Austin" is a pseudonym, as my publisher forced me to use one. So... hi, I'm "Mary." 🤷‍♀️

The government of #Vermont became the latest state or local government to ban mask wearing by police. That doesn't mean the mask ban will necessarily be enforced, but it still matters that governments are choosing the side of the people.

If you think that doesn't matter, you don't know #ICE. They are terrified of cat ladies with phones. They are really terrified of governments and courts and jail and public accountability. It fucks with them, I assure you.

At protests one of our usual chants is "Money for health and education / Not for #ICE and deportation!"

We are not some kind of fever swamp of Marxist terrorists. We are expressing a whopping majority opinion-- among all adults in the US, not just Dems.

What is so hard about this?

Rep. Joaquin Castro picked up #LiamRamos and his father from the Dilley #Texas #ICE camp where they were wrongly held and escorted them back to #Minneapolis, where they were greeted by Rep. Ilhan Omar.

As Gov Tim Walz said, "It shouldn't take a court order to get a toddler out of prison," but Liam and his dad are home. Pressure DOES work.

If, like me, you aren't good at making signs, here is a great one available as a free download from artist Donovan Beeson. I hate #ICE as much as I love #LOTR, both rather intensely, so I love the combination.

And hey, people who do astrology say the year of the Fire Horse means massive change for justice, and we could all use any fated help we can get.

Here is the poster for free:

Please do not forget that #Maine is also under attack by #ICE and other #DHS goons. Nine faith leaders were just arrested for holding a "pray in" outside Susan Collins' office in Portland, Maine. I wonder how "concerned" she's going to be. If they can get arrested for praying outside her office, the rest of us can call our senators and tell them to abolish ICE. https://www.mainepublic.org/immigration/2026-01-27/nine-faith-leaders-arrested-at-pray-in-at-susan-collins-portland-office

I love how this article highlights the "behind the scenes" work people are doing to thwart #ICE. You don't have to be on the front line to prevent deportations. Can you do a grocery run for neighbors who are rightly afraid to leave their homes? Can you step up for carpool duty for immigrant parents? Can you call a local immigrant rights group and ask for the emergency number to call if you see ICE, then spread that number around? You probably can. It all matters. https://truthout.org/articles/amid-ice-raids-we-continue-to-organize-thats-how-we-refuse-to-disappear/

The Last Rose of Summer is a true story about corruption in # cancer research. I discovered a cheap, plant-derived drug that could replace some much more toxic (but more lucrative) therapies. # BigPharma got involved and suppressed the research. Eventually I had to publish the story in thinly veiled fiction and survive a bunch of murder attempts. "Mary Austin" is a pseudonym, as my publisher forced me to use one. So... hi, I'm "Mary." 🤷‍♀️

Okay at this point Tolkien has stopped spinning in his grave and is just laughing his ass off.
