THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY. I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

That the illegal destruction of USAID will kill more than *20 million people* in the next five years, & has ALREADY KILLED 600,000 in just one year, is a world-historical crime that Americans aren't being told about in the terms & with the repetition necessary for them to believe it.

So ICE has set up a new legal office on Main St. in my home city and apparently the local officials had no idea?!?!?! What the hell?!?!?!

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

Calling my mapmaking friends!!! @aaronradney.bsky.social

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship. Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

This is a housing emergency, please help if you can. It's quite a fight, and an accomplishment, to secure housing help, but if you can't maintain it, you lose everything. Please help this grandma not to lose everything.

Tomorrow I make my entry into romance, romantasy, and self publishing. I never could have imagined this publishing journey.

if you want a real easy way to be a chad do not get involved in this on any level. I dont scold people for their tastes but JK Rowling has said repeatedly she puts the revenue generated by Harry Potter right into anti trans political organizations and legislation

I don’t know why but the US just loves detaining a significant portion of its residents. Once it was mental hospitals (558,922 in 1955). Then prisons. Now as the prison population starts to fall, concentration camps.

The idea of a bill rendering people deportable for following religious law should make every Jew ill

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

​I am failing my son. Every breath Naser takes is a cry for help I cannot answer. His pain is tearing my soul apart, and time is running out. He doesn't need sympathy; he needs a miracle. Please, don’t look away. Help me save my little boy before it’s too late.💔 chuffed.org/project/155233

the public health response to this has to be “close the camps and free them all” and nothing less

Liked Bad Bunny's halftime show? My very short story 12 THINGS A TRINI SHOULD KNOW BEFORE TRAVELLING TO A BACK-IN-TIMES FETE, is a list story about Trinbagonian Carnivals past, present & future. And there's a Spanish translation! strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fi... www.patreon.com/collection/2...

Post a banger that isn't in English youtu.be/2Htocthp0Bo?...

Reminder: In light of Bad Bunny's Superbowl performance spotlighting Latino culture, here's a hefty list of Latino speculative fiction authors I curated if anyone wants to take a gander and read some phenomenal work. Much love to all! go.bsky.app/6BAmgpi

For those interested in why Black & Caribbean people are going off about the sugar cane from last night's halftime show: sugar is a plantation commodity that fueled slavery & colonialism bookshop.org/p/books/swee...

My dad tried to get us kids to try sugar cane once and I was like, Daddy, that's a branch. You ain't fooling me! I missed out. 😔

The still allow people to sell AI generated crochet and knitting patterns that don’t work. They’re actively taking money away from humans creating real patterns. They’re making hundreds of sales a month selling AI slop, and some real creators are struggling! Fuck Etsy!

The thing that made me sit back last night was when Bad Bunny held up the football that read Together, we are America. Like, what if we had a coalition of the Americas? All of us working together.

I fucking bawled, ngl.

If you haven’t already, delete your TikTok

When Benito said "God bless America" then started to name each and every American nation *ending* with the US and Canada?

I think people should do whatever they feel is necessary though I also think people should move with the awareness that we all seen how COVID lockdowns turned to Get Back To Work right after they released the numbers on who was dying & who wasn’t. We can’t have that happen with this one.

Same with the protests. They are trying to coax people of color out into the open so they can cause a race war. So Black people gotta act different from white people right now.

Never forget the anniversary of King Taejong falling off his horse!

Reminder that ICE was invented after 9/11 to terrorize people on US soil. W’s “war on terror” incl mass surveillance, even more racial profiling & aggressive policing & treating immigration as a security issue. Muslims & Brown folk perceived as such can tell you how that went. Abolish.

Once, we had a naturalization department and a customs department and that was it. The whole Department of Homeland Security is post-9/11 America Fuck Yeah stuff

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

SWORN TESTIMONY!!! June 18, 2016 "I personally witnessed defendant trump telling the plaintiff that she shouldn't ever say anything if she didn't want to dissappear like the 12 year old female ⬛️⬛️⬛️ and that he was capable of having her whole family killed."

Making last minute updates. Gotta make sure it's right.

I have incarcerated comrades & loved ones who are enduring the daily torture of US prisons. They also continue to make art. They often don't have the proper supplies and yet they make it knowing that it will never make it out to anyone else. But they continue to make art nonetheless. Keep making art

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Another site that needs shutting the fuck down!

My FIYAH story, Barbara in the Frame, is on there. To The Writing Atlas, may you itch where you can't scratch, may your anuses burn 24/7, may an umbrella open in each of your bellies.

"Do we have any more of this color thread?" My supervisor is.... not great at ordering supplies.

this might be the highest gross things per line ratio piece I've read - if Americans are really following this story, the anti-elite backlash will be fierce. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/o...

Other SFF publications include @asimovssfmag.bsky.social @tordotcom.bsky.social @lightspeedmagazine.com. The OG Dark Matter anthology is here. Some records link to what I presume are pirating sites for download?? Here's an example from The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction:

SFF markets are not lucrative. We’re on the wrong side of an impossible margin. This shit does not get us exposure nor help us pay authors. Shitty summaries do a disservice to authors’ work (of course there’s a subscription tier.)

I am pissed. Two of my stories from FIYAH were scraped. Writing Atlas, may you be cursed for your hubris, disrespect, and greed. May it fall on your head ten fold.

🧵 for any FIYAH authors with published story files/summaries appearing on The Writing Atlas. We weren't involved with this curation (and presumable theft) and are taking steps to protect your work.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
