I have ZERO expectations that there will be widespread journalist solidarity with those arrested. And that will be a downfall for journalism as a whole.

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

People seem very confused about what "pulling my books" from Amazon means. I mean they are no longer *purchaseable* on Amazon, not that they have been moved from KDP to a different distributor (they were never on KDP).
The goal is for readers to *buy them somewhere else*.

In solidarity with the boycotts, my indie books have officially been pulled from Amazon. If you have *also* pulled your books from Amazon for whatever reason, let me know. I'm putting together some more discovery for people whose books no longer benefit from or support Amazon.

Publishers have been milking public libraries for all they can, while painting them as thieves--meanwhile, amazon screwing publishers (and of course, small presses and indie authors) over for all they're worth, yet publishers just go along with Bezos.

Your Libby rental was free for you, but did you know it cost the D.C. Public Library $59.99?

Libraries can't afford e-books. D.C. lawmakers have a plan.
The demand and price for e-books is up — and it’s busting the D.C. Public Library budget.

I live an hour north of Minneapolis and they’re here too. They’re rounding up workers in chicken processing plants and breweries.
A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.
Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.
