boosting this list one last time before I go to bed! 💓

The documents show there may be little scientific merit to claims that injection wells are a safe means of disposal. “We really do not know what happens to the waste down there. We just hope," an EPA official admitted in 1971. Read: rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Secretary of Health and Human Services for the United States.

Holy cats my book is coming out in 30ish days! I have a few interviews coming up over the next few weeks, but if you need any content for your bookish podcasts, substacks, blogs, thoughts, talks, etc… I am available for any and all! Here to talk lady crime fiction all day!

we know this, but a reminder: anytime ICE CBP etc says they’re drawing down their presence in a city, it’s bullshit. whatever their numbers, lawless federal agents remain behind & still cause havoc & kidnap people. Also relocated agents just go somewhere else to destroy lives. Abolish ICE end DHS

"There are still plenty of places to read about literature, many of them excellent.... But they are produced for an audience that already knows it cares about literature. The books section of a newspaper plays an altogether different role. It does not cater to aficionados; it seeks new recruits."

Today's story: ”My Dead Brother Comes to America,” by Alexander Godin, 1934, from The Windsor Quarterly. This is a profoundly moving story, stunningly written. “Our lives had been broken into many shards and, standing there, I felt we should never be able to piece those shards together again."

I will be doing a class on character building at 9am. Get out of bed, join me, and raise money for an excellent cause!

ICE is thug trash.

If the days of masking are behind you, the days of getting long covid or other complications are lit up like Las Vegas neon in front of you.

But babe, we already have Ken Russell's WUTHERING HEIGHTS at home... www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPx1...

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

Hey y'all like urban fantasy got a comic for ya

What this ad doesn’t show: Ring also rolled out facial recognition for humans. I wrote to them months ago about this. Their answer? They won’t ask for your consent. This definitely isn’t about dogs—it’s about mass surveillance. x.com/Phil_Lewis_/...

I've created a video for #BlackHistoryMonth annually, highlighting classic Black artists. Another year. Another #BHM. Another annual video. It's February . . . BLACK HISTORY MONTH 2026 Edition 👊🏾 . . . *cue music* Song: "Little Bitty Pretty One" Sung by: Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers

Anyone with a brain could see this coming.

I keep being like why are people so willing to fight for their own demise but these are the same people who filled in pools rather than just let Black people have shared access to them so

Seahawks championship and my new book officially out on Tuesday. Just a giant day for SeaTac. MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING! autofocusbooks.com/store/p/tacoma

In light of Ring Cameras allegedly helping you find your dog:

Fuck AI, fuck ICE, and long live a free Puerto Rico.

“In the waning days of the U.S.,…”

Me: I don't totally understand what I'm watching but I love it. Them: I don't totally understand what I'm watching so I hate it.

We're with Bad Bunny: We'll never stop demanding better for our communities.

Pedro???🤣🤣🤣

#SFWA folks reading for Nebula noms! My dystopian short story “We Are Sorry For Your Suffering” (One Story) is on the Reading List & eligible! It's about humanity's destruction by sentient AI, yet also about the last human child found in the ruins, parenthood, consciousness, hope (somehow).

This is not writing. Do not let people express this delusion in your face.

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.

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:

Poor guy. Not everything that happens here, stays here lol lasvegassun.com/news/2026/fe...

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Oh hell's teeth. This is bad news.

My friend lives in this building and said it was truly terrifying. The whole building woke up to their building being broken into by federal agents all to grab some guy who’s posted about being anti facist.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

Scenes outside of the Washington Post headquarters right now:

This is another effort that has taken a HUGE amount of local activism, led by community folks who care. It CAN be done. Get involved where you live and push back. www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/i...
