Mohammed’s account got deleted but he’s been trying to raise money because he wants to take advantage of scholarships for students in Gaza but unfortunately he owes money to his old school and they won’t release his transcripts until he pays the fees.

I wrote about the day the president attended the opening of an American concentration camp:

Shouts to the NY1 correspondent who corrected her colleague who quoted Trump by saying, "(Zohran) Mamdani is a socialist, NOT a communist." 👏🏿 #FactCheck

The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org

Going off socials for the month of June as part of my regular need to disconnect, recalibrate, and focus on what's in front of me and on the ground. If you need me, email or call. No DMs will be checked. (I'll also be off tech for half the month.) Take care of yourselves and one another! 🌻

#WriterSky: Tomorrow begins #1000wordsofsummer! June also begins my personal project of a minimum of 250 words every day for the whole month. It's hard to write while back to FT editing. But maintaining a schedule + "writing challenges" has helped me balance my creative mind even when sapped.

I am sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Iman. Iman is a nurse in Gaza and is engaged to Ahmed. She is taking care of her sick parents and also helping with the three very young children of her brother who was martyred one year ago today. Hoda, 5, Tala 3, and Sham, 1.

AS PART OF a sweeping reorganization of the State Dept, the fascist is creating an Office of Remigration. Remigration is an extremist immigration policy that calls for the removal of ALL migrants-including “non-assimilated” citizens-with the goal of creating white ethnostates in Western countries.

I keep thinking about that scene in AVENGERS: ENDGAME and how a year later, during the shutdown, a big observation was, "look at how the environment is improving with less people out and about sapping resources and distributing waste."

Happy Pub Week, Gabe! #BookBirthday #YAFantasy

Rather than protect Medicare and Medicaid, this bill cuts them, denying healthcare to 14 million people. Rather than strengthen public education, it weakens it. Rather than feeding poor families, it rips food out of their mouths. www.aft.org/press-releas...

Scripts and language to demand your members of Congress not pretend this is business as usual tomorrow morning while LaMonica McIver is being threatened with imprisonment.

This also seems like a super good book to get for folx in the US, as well as abroad for picky eaters & those with food aversions: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/704923...

Most Medicaid enrollees already work. But the GOP bill would punish those who can’t, including caregivers, people with disabilities, and students. I’m calling my Congress members every few days to tell them to #SaveOurMedicaid. You can too. (202) 224-3121. Our pushback is working!

Diversibility founder Tiffany Yu asks us to help bring more awareness to the massive cuts intended to Medicaid. #Momsky has also been spreading the word. Learn more by following Tiffany's work (@/iamtiffanyu) and @momsrising.org. www.instagram.com/reel/DJ2id_x...

SCOTUS granted the Justice Department's request to lift a judge's order that had halted Homeland Security Sec Kristi Noem's decision to terminate deportation protection conferred to Venezuelans under the temporary protected status (TPS) program while the administration pursues an appeal in the case.

Florida’s SB 1580 is now 2 years old. Not a single public case of it being used because there was never a need for it. But LGBTQ+ people still have to wonder: Will my doctor treat me? Hate doesn’t need to be enforced to do damage. Fear does the job.

More details! It’s likely that the administration will appeal and try to fuck this up again somehow, but for now, the Morgantown NIOSH field office and its lifesaving black lung programs are back www.wowktv.com/news/west-vi...

Within the first few minutes of Tuesday’s House Committee on Energy and Commerce hearing on planned Republican Medicaid cuts—which would render more than 8 million Americans uninsured—a contingent of protesters entered the room in Washington. Here is what happened⬇️

"The Trump administration has halted all other refugee admissions, including for applicants from warzones. Human Rights Watch described the move as a cruel racial twist." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Let's remember why so many Americans need SNAP, Medicaid, housing & energy assistance: Since Reagan began trickle-down economics in 1980, between $50-$80 TRILLION in wealth has been transferred from poor, working & middle class Americans to the top .01%. Our wages should be far, far higher.

Called Mom for Mom's Day 👩🏿‍🦱 and she asked, "So when are you writing another book?" I was all, "Dang, you sound like my agent *and* my editor."

In 2023, SNAP served approx. 42.1M people and WIC served approx. 6.6M people, including 39% of all infants in the U.S., MONTHLY. bsky.app/profile/moms... #MomSky

FOTUS has banned over 350 WORDS, they’re being scrubbed from Federal documents. Words like “breastfeed,” “autism,” “discrimination, “immigrants.” Every American should be concerned…we have an authoritarian destroying the USA. Speak up if you’ve been silent #Voices4Victory pen.org/banned-words...

Today is the 111th birthday of Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre

As an acquiring editor for a publisher, I can attest that the more you invest in your craft the more it stands out. One of the biggest things we consider when acquiring--in an already hard market--is how distinctive the work is, how well constructed it is, and the community/platform the author built

For Mother’s Day, I want the Ready to Learn grant reinstated. The funding included iconic shows "Sesame Street & “Reading Rainbow" & now, "Molly of Denali," "Work It Out Wombats!" & "Lyla in the Loop.” Parents everywhere should stand with PBS Kids to fight! #MomSky
