On January 24th, my parents home burned down. They and my disabled brother escaped with only minor burns but they lost everything they've ever had. I'm running a GoFundMe to help them recover and rebuild. I would be deeply grateful for any donations but also for any shares!

Congratulations to everyone who made the Locus list! I'm especially thrilled to see a couple of stories we published on PodCastle there: "The Magnolia Returns" by @edenroyce.bsky.social and "Woodpecker, Warbler, Mussel, Thrush" by @ruthjoffre.bsky.social

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I submitted a small flash chapbook to a really cool press. fingers crossed! 🤞

whoever takes this job should be shunned and never read again

found this message in a snowy field in mid-Missouri. be good. we’re going to win

rest in peace you absolute legend

now that the contract's signed I can announce I have a flash about revolutionaries and ancestral hauntings forthcoming in @khoreo.bsky.social later this year!! this will be my second time in the magazine and I'm so excited to be back 🥳

shows need to stop putting music under every damn thing. sometimes I'm watching and I'm like, did I leave my music on?? because it's just there and it's not adding in any way

being a writer is amazing because one hour you can have a spiraling existential crisis and the next you can write 500 words like nothing happened 🙃

If you want to support communities terrorized by ICE and DHS while getting query feedback or manuscript critiques, this is the auction for you.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I'm raising $ for Maine Solidarity Fund, to help our community members affected by ICE. Grab some stickers! ❌🧊 campmustelid.shop

if you're thinking of dumping Amazon: do it. I haven't had an account for like six years and I've never missed it, not once

hi friends, i've put together a short collection of SFF stories and set it free—i hope it can give you some encouragement, a smile, or even just a pause in the doomscrolling. art is resistance. <3 🐺 📚 ko-fi.com/s/f0da603a0d <— support/PWYW (free!) tiny.cc/2q7y001 <— direct download

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL: When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

second story acceptance of the year! 🎉

Fun fact: Your local bookstore is doing more to protect you and your neighbors than Amazon is.

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

I just want to make it clear that it was *Border Patrol* agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and those fuckers murder people regularly here along the border. Renee Good´s murderer is also a former Border Patrol agent (currently ICE). Disband ALL the paramilitary groups and prosecute every member.

I will vote for candidates who promise to abolish ICE. that is THE MINIMUM

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

The whole interview is worth it

a reminder that it is much easier to fight for justice if you hydrate, get eight hours of sleep (or at least some sleep), and log off once in a while. I know it’s hard but you absolutely need to take care of yourself, because the state will not

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

every Minnesotan out on the streets right now is braver than ICE is or ever will be

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

When I wrote this a year ago I had no idea how bad things would get. Today, eight years after she left us, I'm trying to follow Ursula's advice: write and worry. Write and act. Worry and keep writing. lithub.com/the-way-of-w...

Yesterday, Minneapolis gave us hope. That’s what they’re trying to kill: the will of a people who are willing to fight them.

they want to be murderers, they signed up to be murderers, they gleefully joined in order to be paid our tax dollars to commit murders with impunity. you can't reform that

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

every time there's news out of Minneapolis I feel a wave of panic: is it someone I know? did they murder one of my friends?

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

My new website! - An archive of previously published work: 7 zines, 28 essays, artwork, infographics, 30+ social media threads - Where all my new work will be published. - A digital library with pdfs of over 120 of my favorite books and articles of poltical theory. butchanarchy.noblogs.org

I needed this reminder myself today and I imagine some of you do, too. keep writing. it matters

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Thursday night-Saturday morning we have expected windchills of -47 degrees. In the Twin Cities, @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social could always use more gloves, more hand warmers, more hats. If you have an extra ten dollars or unused gift card, it would be a big help: linktr.ee/sanctuarysup...

I long for the year when there are no extinctions to report 😭 via @therevelator.org
