COMING SOON:
THAT GIRL & MOOSE ( #MG Contemporary)
12yo Paige can breakdown when to run the draw play or go for it on 4th down, but when her Commentary Clubmates call "penalty" for being a 🏈loving girl, she'll learn that unfair rules are meant to be tackled.
👀Any Swifites in their football era?

Writers, what’s your favorite line you’ve ever written? Not your book’s strongest line—the one that makes you secretly proud every time you see it. #writingcommunity #amwriting #amquerying

When an agent posted they're opening "soon" months ago and you finally see a watch notice for them on Query Tracker 😀...
But it's only someone sharing insight from the agent's wish list in the comments. 🫠

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

MAGAS. ARE. SCARED. OF. EVERYTHING.
But even my 6yo knows being afraid of something/someone doesn't give you the right to hurt them.

This isn’t about safety. It’s about fear. MAGAs are scared of everything. MAGA keeps shouting “imagine if they were your neighbors.” You know what? They are our neighbors and they’re welcome here. This is about cruelty and control. Nothing more.

The location? A remote airstrip deep in the Everglades, surrounded by marshes, alligators, and invasive pythons.
Florida officials are calling it a “detainment camp.” They say it’s fine because “We are swamp creatures,” and even brag that nature will “do us some favors.”

This is horrifying.
This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

Authoritarianism isn't close. It's here.
Also, did you hear this version of the not-able-to-be-filibustered budget removes the Judiciary's ability to file contempt charges? 😬

My brother James Loxton (a dual Canadian–Australian citizen) got his PhD at Harvard… studying authoritarianism. This would have disrupted his life and career, and we might not have his very useful and timely latest book (Authoritarianism: A Very Short Introduction, Oxford University Press)
Harvard today, your institution tomorrow.
It's all part of the Project 2025 plan to destroy high education in America.
All leading US universities depend on federal funding and tuition dollars from international students. They severely curtailed the former. Now they're eliminating the latter.

We should ALL have the right to get covid vaccines if we determine it is right for our families.
There are so many studies looking at vaccine safety, the relationship between vaccination & lessened LC risk, and a promising new flu/covid combined booster. Now is not the time to revoke our access.
