this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to wake up at 5 am and don 30 lbs of tactical gear you bought off amazon to sit in a chevy tahoe in the parking lot of the elementary school where you kidnapped a five year old kid to intimidate his teachers. good luck soldier
Columbia Heights (Liam's school district) cancelled school today because of a credible bomb threat at Liam's elementary and multiple ICE vehicles parking in the high school staff parking lot at 6:15am.

SNEAK PEEK: The fun thing about a short story collection is you get to pay homage to all the other short story authors who have influenced and delighted you. Hence, this chonker of a dedication page (which still managed to leave names out on accident).

It’s definitely quite noticeable how the “alarmists” keep becoming more right while not becoming any more respected.
You know, we can just say this without the “I held off on using the term bc I’m not an irrational leftist” dig.
I think the people who recognized what the GOP had become—long before we had ICE agents shooting Americans—deserve *credit.*

Yes, It’s Fascism
Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

The Republican Party’s largest donor was begging to party with Jeffery Epstein on his private island used for raping children.

No, no, he just asked that so he’d know what day/night to AVOID going there!
OK, so Musk was planning to go to Epstein's island, but it's not like he went there with the intent to go to a wild party or something, it was probably just some business. Excuse me, an email just came in.

This is truly one of those celebrity deaths that just … doesn’t seem possible.
The loss of Catherine O'Hara feels monumental. An icon of pop culture, comedy, and cult, she had that effortless delivery that we know reveals the skill of a master. From SCTV to SCHITT'S CREEK, as well as her work w/ Tim Burton, Christopher Guest, and beyond, was...and is...absolutely definitive.

Fascists are emotional little pissbabies and invariably start reacting in astrategic ways. They’ll cause an insane amount of damage, but they’ll also continue to fuel the backlash.
the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

Impeach this woman, right TF now. She took an oath to uphold the Constitution, and arresting a journalist is per se impeachable conduct.
Bondi is continuing to livetweet these arrests.
Lemon and three others were arrested.
They include Jamael Lundy, a candidate for state Senate, a fact that was known to DOJ (it was referenced in the underlying FBI affidavit unsealed after the first arrests).

It’s sincerely a dark horse favorite of mine—for either author’s body of work! I just earlier tonight finished reading a sequence that I think is an all-timer scare scene.
Reading BLACK HOUSE for the third time and really loving it a lot this time. Very interested to see what @scribeofhades.bsky.social thinks about it. And very intrigued to hear @natcassidy.bsky.social ‘s insights.

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained.
Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.
Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.
