Scary Austin JUST VOTED BLUE!
MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social
<p>The Last Rose of Summer is a true story about corruption in <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/cancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cancer</span></a> research. I discovered a cheap, plant-derived drug that could replace some much more toxic (but more lucrative) therapies. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BigPharma" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BigPharma</span></a> got involved and suppressed the research. Eventually I had to publish the story in thinly veiled fiction and survive a bunch of murder attempts.</p><p>"Mary Austin" is a pseudonym, as my publisher forced me to use one. So... hi, I'm "Mary." 🤷♀️</p>

Uh... somebody keeps farting all over the press briefing room at the EU summit and for once it isn't Trump.

Trumpers beat up a woman who walked into a rally with a shirt that said "RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES." They bragged about it on Facebook, because that's the kind of brains behind still supporting Donald Trump. She's pressing charges and the Sheriff of Mahoning County, Ohio, is investigating. Granted, it sounds like they had to be pressured by the public to do it, but they're going to review the evidence to decide on charging with misdemeanor vs felony assault. https://www....

In an effort to avoid talking about any real issues, Republicans are taking selfies at Cheesecake Factories. Where most of their voters still can't afford to eat. Good luck with that!

Bridge trolls are out for Fred Wellman, the awesome Dem candidate for Congress in Missouri's 2nd District. His MAGA opponent won by 12 points in 2024, but he just posted an Emerson poll showing him ahead 51 to 46. He's running on affordability and people are listening, because Ann Wagner does not listen to them. #Missouri #midterms

The Dems released new #Epstein material yesterday as well as evidence of the coverup. Cowardly major media outlets may not want to report this, but residents of #LosAngeles are undeterred in spreading the truth. People vandalize Trump's star every day and hero reporter Johnny Palmadessa has been documenting this for more than ten months. #Trump

On behalf of my neighbor: noisy pigeons eating all the bird seed and making a mess in the bird bath. Fortunately, the solution is just to attract them to my place with black oil sunflower seed. Every morning the pigeons go Alfred Hitchcock on my patio and I think it's hilarious. He says they still roost at his place, but it's better. #CauseOfAggravation #HashTagGames

I'm trying to imagine telling myself as a kid in the 90s, or even fifteen years ago: "You'll be dancing around on bridges dressed as a taco because the president is a rapist, and you and your costumed friends will be reporting more news than CBS to an audience of rush hour drivers. Some people will attack you for not wanting a pedophile president, and you'll need pepper spray and sometimes body cams. But at least you meet some really cool people too."

The Dems just released more details about Trump's rape allegations and the coverup. This should be getting more attention than the Cheesecake Factory thing. Republicans were more offended by the perceived diss to a restaurant than the comparison to Saddam Hussein, or this. And corporate media outlets still mostly want to play ball with that. At least you can be sure that the nation's bridge trolls are out there putting the real headlines on bridges. https://time.com/article/2026/10/2...

After everything Trump did to incite assassination attempts on Obama, wouldn't it be poetic if Trump stroked out over some jibe Obama made? We could celebrate by giving Obama the Nobel Peace Prize again!

So we're supposed to believe that Scott Bessent eats at Cheesecake Factory all the time. 🤔 Well, regardless, Trump has gotten him used to the decor.

I have a "DEPORT ELON" T-shirt that I bought in early 2025 to wear to Tesla Takedown and other protests. It gets a lot of laughs every time I wear it, as well as middle fingers from Cybertruck drivers. I mostly mean it as a criticism of Musk's hypocrisy on immigration. But LOOK WHO'S NOT RULING OUT DOING IT. When pressed, he waffles a bit but says he's open to deporting Elon and Melania. This could never have happened last year. #ElonMusk #Trump #MelaniaTrump

Brave Florida bridge trolls were out yesterday for Angie Nixon! Part of the effectiveness of these cheerful protests is showing voters that normies support progressive candidates, i.e. that it's "okay" to do so for people who haven't done it in the past. It's a great way to message to tens of thousands of drivers in one rush hour segment, which is why I do it. That and I have a really fun crew. #Florida #AngieNixon #midterms #50501movement
