NEW: President Trump is expanding the previous 19-country travel ban to a whopping 39 countries (plus the Palestinian Authority), and appears to expand a block on legal immigration to now include spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens, who were previously exempted.

Sounds like digital ARCs are starting to land for Star Wars Outlaws - Low Red Moon, so bringing back this thread to get readers ready. To answer the main FAQ, no, you don't have to play/finish the game (they have internal readers to ensure that). More on that in the thread.

It’s true. This is how I read Brotherhood and Quantum Love Story.

I am currently in India and reading Lonely People Meet by Sayantan Ghosh. This book is wild (in the best way). Tor books should definitely pick this up stateside. This Mumbai sandwich is how I feel right now.

answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior

Today is also release day for Ravishing by Eshani Surya. She is a debut novelist who wrote a gripping but emotionally resonant novel about big tech, chronic illness, and the lengths we will go to, to escape ourselves and fit in. bookshop.org/a/112057/978...

Finally reading Danah Boyd’s it’s complicated, and she quotes Mark Zuckerberg: Having two identities shows a lack of integrity 🫠

I dunno y’all. That comparison seems a bit thin.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I really hate to sound like old marketer yells at clouds, but 100% agree with this. Own your newsletter. Own your website.

This is clear political prosecution and government overreach meant to scare protestors by going after resistance leaders and political candidates. Kat Abughazaleh must not be imprisoned for fighting against the President’s fascism.

I did not expect this post to resonate with so many people, but it makes sense considering how many people have been laid off or are going through layoffs rn. Gen X and Millennials were also taught to prioritize work and our careers, only to see homes become too expensive to buy and wages stagnate.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Just because he's acting like he's never leaving is no reason for you to act like he's never leaving.

ONE OF THE KEY FEATURES OF THE ACA IS THAT IT DOES NOT ALLOW HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES TO BLOCK COVERAGE FROM PEOPLE WITH PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. This has a cost impact. IF you want to look at that cost impact a good way is to look at health insurance costs in a state like NY

Elaborating b/c there's a lot of misunderstanding on this. Insurrection Act does nothing except you can then use soldiers as cops. They can enforce laws, but they're the same old laws. It doesn't suspend the Constitution. No martial law, no closing courts, no removing state officials, none of that.

Across India, mental suffering is viewed as weakness, moral failure or spiritual deficiency. For many Indians, emotional suffering is accounted for as “weak faith”, a view that traps individuals in shame and exonerates individuals of responsibility. scroll.in/article/1087... Istikhar Ali writes

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.
