The Washington Post is getting rid of its Books section. We’re losing the institutions—journalism, middle-class artistic and intellectual culture—that once made life bearable. Those things were a threat to the super-rich who increasingly govern us. Democracy dies in illiteracy.

Hey #writers, who'd be up for doing a workshop to raise some funds for Minnesota charities? @alexpenname.bsky.social and I are putting something together. Repost and spread the word, please!

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

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

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

We are now 29 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files. Where are they?

Warning: Reports indicate immigration checkpoints along major interstates in Oklahoma, with Interstate 40 most impacted.

I find Gmail’s new “write this for me” feature deeply sinister. They’re trying to convince you that you are dumb and helpless. Don’t let them steal your ability to formulate thoughts and communicate. You were capable of writing an email in 2022 and you’re capable now.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

2/What’s really happening is that Trump has managed to take the spotlight off of DOJ‘s failure to comply with the Epstein files transparency act. Let’s not let him get away with that.

Does anyone here have a contact for anyone who works at TikTok and can help me w people there pretending to be me? @hcrhq.bsky.social

NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do." “We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

I would love to be neck-deep in #Frankenstein analysis, but unfortunately, my love for the Gothic is much, much stronger than my ability to watch body horror... From what I did see before I noped out: GORGEOUS visuals, Oscar Isaac in this role = terrifying, Mia Goth in this role = everything

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.
