centuries pass and still it sings. what a gift it is, how time flattens under the weight of a practiced voice. how irreplaceable

I've mentioned this before: think about food. Food culture permeates across all borders, survives the worst atrocities. It is damn near impossible to kill a recipe. Now think of how many Native American *recipes*, not ingredients, there are That is how thorough the genocide of manifest destiny was

for over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing — then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed. ICE watchers are being detained and harassed — but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them

"Send Border Patrol back to the border" is a threat to those of us who live on the border. We don't want the people who have been practicing death squad tactics in Minneapolis to bring that to our streets. Abolish them.

on god we are going to win

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

This kicks off on Wednesday. So many amazing opportunities here, with plans to do some good. Let’s get to work. 💪🏽 www.32auctions.com/publishingfo...

"We are out there in every place they are, showing them that every person in this city is one of our own, that there is no such thing as other people’s children, that collectively we are not afraid of staring them in the eye," @erikhane.bsky.social writes from Minneapolis.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

now - especially now - a reminder that we are going to win. and this is why

And by “lock the fuck in” I do not mean scroll on here and say how bad you feel. We need your money. We need your time. We need your political pressure. We need you to prepare for this happening to you.

They’re just…they’re gunna keep doing this. They’re gunna keep murdering people. They’re gunna keep kidnapping people. If you’re not locked the fuck in you need to start. Today. We need your help.

That’s their line now — “ICE must leave this one city.” And what, move to the next one? The locusts are done with these crops, now to the next field? Go cause violence elsewhere, there’s been enough done in MN?

Think cloning and biohacking, near space travel, and time travel! I’m interested in near futures and familiar settings that amplify that under your skin feeling to explore our relationship to technology #mswl

LOVE the heightened isolation that you can explore in a closed circle mystery #mswl

I’m on the hunt for voicey narration, juicy drama, and emotions that are so big they feel like the end of the world. I love mess! #mswl

It’s Halloween so by law we gotta do a cover reveal for a horror banger. Yall this book is good! Such amazing style combined with a turn those pages fast story. The ending is perfect. It’s up on Netgalley and drops May 2025.

“FUCK AI” is turning into a movement. After his Frankenstein Q&A at the Chinese Theater, Guillermo del Toro asked the audience to scream “FUCK AI.”

Writer pals, as we venture into “best of” list season, remember to focus on your other accomplishments. That new draft, the books you’ve read to hone your craft… Maybe the new thing you’re doing outside of writing (these are so important!) Zero in on what you can control, and keep your head up. ❤️
