Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

struck by how much places that do not usually do political journalism have stepped up in this time.

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.

every federal agent who ever put on a mask did so because on some level they knew this moment was coming they knew they were setting out to do things that would deserve profound shame at the least, and righteous retribution at the most

There has NEVER BEEN AN IMMIGRATION PROBLEM IN THIS COUNTRY. There has been a racist, nationalist fear-mongering problem in this country. There has been an immigrant worker exploitation problem. But there has never been an "immigration problem."

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

ICE doesn't keep our communities safe.

I am sold seven hundred times over. Very excited to read this!

Global hunger is falling for the first time since the pandemic, driven by gains in Asia and the Americas. In 2025 the world produced record harvests of wheat, rice and soybeans, pushing grain prices down 8 percent and rice prices to their lowest in 18 years. buff.ly/2Jeoldi #ShareGoodNewsToo

Anyway, I did a thing.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm. The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now! Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows. FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Okay this was delightful

yes, i hate genAI as a writer, but i also hate it as a reader. the complete lack of respect boils my blood. you expect me to spend my hard-earned money on something you never bothered to write so you can feel good about your lack of a work ethic? pathetic behavior.

All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.

On his own, my 8yo has started reading and burning through my collection of Calvin and Hobbes comic books and I have never been more proud

This is a wonderful story by @sierrabranham.bsky.social, and the last line hits hard (while inviting more questions).

It's me. I'm now the bookshop employee that only recs sapphic books. I am in every bookshop. All the time. You will only get sapphic recs for the rest of your life.

I’m not attending Worldcon this year & everything seems to be a mess but this is so mind-bendingly bad on so many levels that I think it’s worth unpacking while I’m in the no-space of airports

happy ✨cover✨ day (and some reading material for ya!)

This one should be on everyone’s radar!
