We were outraged by Liam, but Diana is a young girl that has been in an ICE prison even longer. The wee girl still is in prison. Be loud! Share! Justice for Diana Crespo Gonzalez!
Today is day 20 (depending on when incarceration countdown begins) of Diana Crespo Gonzales’ incarceration in an ICE prison in Texas. Children are not allowed to legally be detained for more than 20 days.

Imagine reading from Genesis to Revelation, about God liberating people time and time again from Egypt to Rome, and somehow arriving at the conclusion that the Bible is to be used to support the power of earthly empires rather than to advocate for the people empires harm.

Gaiman is already suing one of his accusers. If he had any actionable claims against "There is No Safe Word", he would have sued New York Magazine and Lila Shapiro. The fact that he is instead pointing readers to some random substack article tells us all we need to know.
I find the entire genre of "tens of thousands of words minutely refuting every point of an abuse clam" intrinsically unpersuasive. If any of the evidence were actually damning they'd just highlight that instead of doing a tedious Gish Gallop.
I haven't read that massive Substack thing that Gaiman linked to in his whinge, and nor am I going to. If you need tens of thousands of words of rant and innuendo to embed your "shocking evidence" in, you don't have shocking evidence, you have a conspiracy manifesto.

Worth noting that blocking someone you follow doesn't remove you from their follow list, so it's possible a chunk of those people don't realise they show up as still following him.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
