IT’S OFFICIAL: We now have more protests planned for October 18 than there were back in June. It’s not even October yet but you’ve already put 2,100 events on the No Kings map. We hope to see you at the largest day of peaceful protest in American history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Right on pub day, here's a terrific little review of THE ENDLESS WEEK from the Center for Fiction newsletter! Virtuosa, indeed!

It's pub day! We couldn't be happier about helping to put these two beauties into the world. Please help us spread the word! THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF H. LAN THAO LAM by Lana Lin THE ENDLESS WEEK by Laura Vazquez, trans. by Alex Niemi

To have a new novel coming out by @patrickcottrell.bsky.social is thrilling. I love the cover; I am also very jealous of the title! people.com/patrick-cott...

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

I love my trans friends and community. I will stand beside you now and always.

This tapped into a lot of what I’ve been feeling lately

literally a cartoon image of a “criminal”

how much more can the heart break? how can this not have ended?

Angelenos, this miniseries on wildfire risk is really good--informative, helpful, interesting. It was created by Zeke Lunder, who hosts the wildfire podcast The Lookout, which I listened to everyday during the fires in January, so much better than the news. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCeV...

Next Thursday and Friday, I'm doing a 48-hr fast to raise money for Translating Falasteen, in collaboration with The Sameer Project, funding aid from existing products, rather than aid that will need to be brought through the borders: chuffed.org/project/help...

Things are unimaginably bad. The Sameer Project's South Gaza campaign operation is under intense crisis. They're trying to find any food they can to help people in serious need. If you can, please donate! The situation is getting worse every day. chuffed.org/project/1132...

he’s biting the heads off angels now

Shooting starving people as they line up for aid has to be one among the worst atrocities a military can commit.

Bravo to the @miamiherald.com for publishing this list in full www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

“…he presented his Texas ID, Social Security card and a wallet-sized birth certificate. The agents refused to believe he was a citizen and took him into custody. “I told them we had rights and asked to make a phone call. But they told us, 'You don't have rights to anything'," Galicia told the paper”

I need everyone in the airline industry to understand that these ghouls do not have enough airplane contracts to deport everyone they want to deport. NOW is the time for you and your union to tell your airline: If you contract with ICE, I will refuse to fly.

Not enough people know or acknowledge that the AI industry is led by people who are so stupid and afraid of their own mortality so much that they actually believe they will be able to beat death and live forever through AI

NEW: Federal agents rolling into MacArthur Park in LA like they are trying to take Kabul. Absolute madness. As the reporter says here, it’s an unmarked, heavily armored vehicle with armed ‘soldiers’. No-one knows if it’s ICE or National Guard.

This is Macarthur Park in Los Angeles. Republicans have turned the United States in a military police state. I could not even imagine what Fox and Republicans would be saying if Biden or Obama sent the US military to terrorize communities in Texas.

Farm workers are being terrorized, imprisoned, and deported without due process. Trump's immigration sweeps unjustly target farm workers, Latinos and other vulnerable communities. This goes against American values. This July 4th weekend, take action and message your Congress Members. Link below. ⬇️

Who's the Real Villain? (Hint: It Isn't Bob Vylan or People Protesting Israel's Genocide) Controversial chants by rap groups opposing Israel's genocide are more worthy of condemnation and coverage than the IDF committing daily war crimes against Palestinians. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

I obtained this from a community member minutes after arriving on scene following a raid at the Cypress Park Home Depot this morning. they detained day laborers.

Pasadena police are assisting ICE in their abductions

Every day Israel starves 2 million people in Gaza. Every day it massacres dozens after luring them to its "aid hubs" with the promise of food. Every day the media treats this as an entirely routine story, barely worth reporting.

“Oh no! Reading beautiful books can’t be traumatizing. Seeing awful things can be—but reading? I don’t believe in that at all.” From our Art of Fiction interview with Marie NDiaye in our new Summer issue buff.ly/s3OJVi3

The military is still deployed in LA to quell dissent.

War is absolutely incompatible with a habitable planet and it would be great to see the folks constantly talking about GW electricity installed or whatever say this out loud.

Dodgers: This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.

federal agents at Dodger Stadium.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 96 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Whether visible or invisible, permanent or temporary, almost all of us will have or know someone with a disability. As Mayor, I’ll fight like hell for truly accessible public transit.

We’re halfway there.

Instead of letting people yell in a park or wave signs at Marines, the LAPD forced chaos on us. And has now blocked all transit across the heart of the city. I've never seen the roads closed like this. It really is a military occupation.

All of downtown is under lockdown. All roads in and most roads out have been blockaded by the LAPD. I took Hill to get through most of it, and was stopped by a huge blockade of cops at the Pioneer Memorial. They eventually let an old white man through on his bike, but others were turned away.

send in the marines to detain the cops shooting at cops in LA

I’m in downtown LA, the cops were pre-positioned during the scheduled protest to clear every street around the federal building. When people continued marching away from city hall at around 4pm—entirely peaceful, families with children—they cut off the march in the middle. Then they fired teargas.

Today, the court will hear our motion for the temporary restraining order I’ve filed to block President Trump’s militarization of Los Angeles. We need to put a stop to this chaos now.

Unfucking believable. They tackled Senator Padilla to the ground. How shocking, how demeaning, how disturbing to see this happen to my senator, to any senator in this country.

Incredibly chaotic scene Los Angeles as LAPD is pushing forward a skirmish line and violently arresting anti-ICE protesters. You can also hear me grunt when police shoot me in the abdomen with some kind of projectile.

Do not forget the disappeared 💔💗

people need models of courage. that's been true forever.
