In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in: - Hagerstown, MD: $102 million - Surprise, AZ: $70 million - Hamburg, PA: $87 million - Tremont, PA: $120 million - San Antonio, TX: $82 million - El Paso, TX: $123 million - Social Circle, GA: price unknown This is unprecedented.

the thing i'm waiting for with the ai romance novel lady is for another scammer to figure out that purely ai-generated material w no human authorship is generally not considered to be protected by copyright in the US rn, and saving themselves the 45 mins per book by reselling hers

the best part of the whistle coven is that we are every name and no name, and also they are currently registering like 37 domains to redirect to us. this post captures our chaos well 💓

I'm going to win.

GOOD NEWS! A UNIVERSAL sarbecovirus vaccine candidate has officially started clinical trials! GBP511 is the FIRST vaccine to reach human testing that is intended to protect against MULTIPLE strains of SARS-CoV-2 as well as other related coronaviruses with the potential to spark dangerous outbreaks.

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

ethics professor here, can confirm

#Romancelandia! When I get blurb requests, I now bluntly ask if any AI was used in the writing or editing of the book. I state that if the answer is yes, that’s a fast NOPE. Let’s also include cover art, foreign translations, & audiobook editions in our no-AI lists because No AI means NO AI.

I feel this in my soul! They are interviewing a thief who confesses their theft. WTF?

YESSSSSS!!!!!

Absolutely no AI was used in the writing or production of this book or its cover art!! (Or any of my 65-book backlist 100% human-written romance novels.)

This reader will ***always*** care. And as a writer, I will NEVER use A-fucking-I. Also, these shitty thieves being interviewed in this shitty article used Anthropic, which admittedly stole my 65 novels to train their shitty computers so double-fuck them all.

Can confirm. I was in the crowd at a StarTrek con in the 1980s, someone behind me grabbed my ass. I spun around to see Isaac Asimov leering at me. I was significantly taller & more muscular—at that time I was an aerobic dance instructor & the take-no-shit mother of 2, so he quickly scurried away.

You are not angry enough.

Hey Georgia!!

Hey let's go! Minneapolis organizers need dash cams so they can record and have a record of all of ICE's lies.

A good thing you can do about this instead of dooming is Google “how to become a poll observer in [your town]”

since this is getting reposts, buy dash cams for Minneapolis & St. Paul here: bsky.app/profile/most...

You have to understand that these are fundamentally bad people with hatred in their hearts.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Excellent thread, and yes, we will win.

Fascism wants you to believe that you are alone. That you are isolated. That the feelings you have are yours and nobody else has them because everybody is too afraid to speak. But love is stronger than fascism. Community is stronger than fascism.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

Imagine this woman teaching your babies. Jesus.

Hey #Romancelandia! I’m looking for a list of romance authors who live in or are from the UK. (Bonus points if they are publicly politically anti-fascist and/or outspoken supporters of LGBTQ+ and immigrants rights!)

Some people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]

i'm not sure what the word is for when the man who runs the world's biggest bookstore shutters his paper's books coverage. but then again, it was never really about the books.

Be aware that the Burlington Mall supports ICE and no longer allows observers to park in its always empty auxiliary lots nearby the ICE facility so boycott the stores there—and let them know why you’ll be shopping elsewhere!!

🧵

Bezos, Musk, Thiel, Zuckerberg, Ellison and a few others are like straight out of comic book villainy. These people make Lex Luthor and Dr Doom look sane. We should be talking about them the way they demonize immigrants, women and the poor. Be bigoted towards evil billionaires.

Naah, I want them on trial.

Yes they should.

This entire thread is worth your time today.

It’s just racism. There’s no immigration problem

I am calling on @icegov.bsky.social Director Todd Lyons to immediately confirm or deny the existence of a “domestic terrorist” database. If true, you’re violating the Constitution. If not, maybe talk to your “border czar” to get your stories straight. This isn’t a game–it’s the Constitution.

My current cozy little hobby is reading up on the Nuremberg trials. One of the key things they did was use Nazi officials' braggadocious speeches as evidence. Give a speech taking credit for annexing Austria? Ok, that'll be a conviction for annexing Austria.

Democrats should say if they take Congress they will investigate Elon Musks pedophile-enabling service because Republicans won’t. They should also say they will review all his SpaceX contracts so the American taxpayers aren’t financing the creation of kiddie porn.

*Leia hologram voice* Help us, Europeans. You're our only hope.

Finally, some wonderful AI news

Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50 Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

It’s 2026. There is a measles outbreak in the prison for babies

Big news, dorks: We're going NATIONAL! Join us for our National Day of Action on March 7th in Washington DC, or at one of our satellite rallies across the US. We're taking back our science, health, and democracy! Find or host your local rally! standupforscience.net/march7 (Link in bio!)

I think about this girl a lot. She got Measles at 5 months, too young to be vaxxed & seemed to recover 10 yrs later, the virus that persisted in her brain triggered SSPE, which is almost always fatal For kids who get Measles before 15 months, SSPE risk is ~1 in 609 www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

Hey NY and AL! There are special elections tomorrow! #VoteBlue Get loud and wipe the floor with these fascist motherfuckers!

tfw when the message hits your chidren’s school’s anti-ICE parent patrol signal chat that no children, teachers, or parents were kidnapped outside by unaccountable masked federal paramilitaries unconstitutionally occupying your city as part of an ethnic cleansing campaign

Just a reminder that while we did finally add the whistles to our shop, we also sell many other cool things and would love to send them to you! I'm scheduling this thread to post some of my favorite shop things while I'm off doing Whistle Stuff! http://thebrokencirc...

ICE now confirming that there is a measles outbreak at the Texas concentration camp where young Liam was held.

This site has really come into its own over the past couple of years.
