There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

Honored to have my essay about what led me to join the resistance published by WDA! @jjindc.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/writersf...

🧊🛩️ HEADS UP SEATTLE‼️ ⚠️ ICE Air inbound to Boeing Field Key Lime Air Embraer 145 Tail: N974DC – ETA 10:30am 👀

Thanks @jjindc.bsky.social

I just signed a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social petition: Help Minneapolis Get a Nobel Peace Prize. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/su...

These deportation/transfer flights take place at least 3X a week from Boeing Field here in Seattle. Detainees are shackled hand and foot before they board and often have difficulty climbing the ramp. I believe it’s important to bear witness and for ICE Air to know we are watching.

La Resistencia volunteers who observe the deportation flights informed us about the number of people deported from and transferred from Northwest Detention Center.

Working on Book 3 in this series and never had “in-person interview” research been so rewarding! #writingcommunity #booksky

Excellent coverage of how ICE deportation flights are still being tracked in spite of their attempts to hide them.

Grateful for this review! "The story is laced with suspense, fantasy, political intrigue, and romance. There is murder, deception, intrigue, and hope in the story. The plot will keep you up late into the night to see how it all plays out." www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Today's column: "Donald Trump has made no secret that he intends to do the same for other cities that he deems deserving, saying they will be “met with equal or greater force” as is being seen in Los Angeles."

The flag-raising commemorates the start of the week leading up to Juneteenth. Celebrations will continue through the weekend.

Save the date! This June 15th, we will have a solidarity day as we are also joined by @imapnw and @tanggolmigrante to show solidarity and support fathers who are detained inside Northwest Detention Center! We will fight to shut down NWDC so they are able to be with their family!

Thanks for your insightful review, @yvettemcalleiro.bsky.social

I enjoyed my TV encounter with Guy Morris, founder of the Author Event Network. We talked about character arcs and themes in my books and found we have a lot in common as authors of suspense fiction. A few surprises and laughs too! #BookSky #WritingCommunity #Books www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROEv...

Sharing. #Nature

To write compelling emotional scenes, you must feel pain, fear, sorrow, and joy with your characters. Cry, cringe, laugh, smile as you write. Walk in their shoes, try to get “behind their eyes,” so you can see the world as they do. It’s difficult, exhausting, but highly rewarding. #WritingCommunity

Says it all!

Congratulations Calendulas for making it through another winter. We need your healing power more than ever. #nature #flowers
