Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Official statement on ICE cosigned by 130+ KidLit & YA authors and illustrators. We are calling on publishers to not preemptively censor themselves in the face of this current administration and to protect marginalized creators. 🧵

Here's how you remove Google AI from your mobile devices.

Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

ICE throws gas at protesters who immediately cone it then use boards to help fan the gas back at ICE.

No one likes the idea of living through violent social upheaval but do you prefer the idea of spending the rest of your life with your head down? watching neighbors vanish? wondering who's next? I don't at a certain we owe ourselves and everyone who comes afterwards a tall glass of courage

This lawsuit is brutal. One of the exhibits is the letter Universal sent to Midjourney, including a quote from a 2022 Forbes interview that I bet midjourney regrets

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

how do we feel about modern propaganda posters?

Remember, companies are trying their hardest to find ways to avoid having to pay employees. If you think your job or line of work is exempt I promise it isn't.

I’ve just written some stuff about the very dull topic of archiving design work. I don’t pretend to know everything but hopefully it helps someone out. Also Ryan asked the question @ambrose.bsky.social Hopefully there aren’t too many typos… medium.com/@caspianieve...

I cried, so now y’all can too. Mr. Riddick graduated at 80 years old! It’s never too late, and this is important as I constantly doubt myself. 💙💙💙 congratulations to you sir!!!

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

PLEASE don’t buy into Amazon’s booksale this week. They are intentionally trying to eat into profits from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend, a really important annual event for our important community institutions. Check out your local fave or bookshop.org.

when they go low, we go Jasmine Crockett @repjasmine.bsky.social 🔥

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️
