Friends, can you help me boost this thread? It's an annual thread that I used to do on Twitter that people found helpful, but it's getting shared less here — like, 1000x less. Selfishly: This thread is part of how I end up with six excellent Book Project mentees each year!
If you're working on a book and plan to finish a significant draft in the next few years, you should be aware of some programs that offer support! First up, the Book Project, where I'm a mentor. In the past six years, mentees have signed 25 book deals. (1/x)

"President Trump is cultivating warm relationships with G.O.P. lawmakers — and using the implicit threat of ruining them if they stray — to keep them in line."
Interesting. My idea of a "warm relationship" is so different from this.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

Wow wow wow. It should not have taken this kind of devastation but wow.
Half a million people in London right now. Jewish activists in New York last night. Polls in both countries overwhelmingly support a ceasefire in Gaza. Cannot imagine this level of support even five years ago. Whatever happens, the Palestinians are no longer alone.

![This phone call is from a journalist stationed at a Gaza hospital. He is able to make a call because of data roaming on Turkish SIM card. Translation:
“We’re in Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. We have no idea what’s happening. There’s no connection, no Wi-Fi, no reporters. We’re cut off from everything.. People can’t call ambulances or civil defense. We are being bombed in an unprecedented manner. The sky around us just lights up [with explosions], and no one knows what’s going on. You can’t reach anyone, even if they’re only 500 meters away. Ambulances and medics are begging reporters to let them know which streets are getting bombarded to go rescue the victims but the reporters themselves don’t know where anything is happening [because of the connection loss]. We are trying to report the news but we have no idea what’s happening.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rripmnmsyo2vb4c6hccja3my/bafkreifybffduekwj53pqgeznw6mfo3osh5kvmnt6vdjwh4dllw5ov5x6i@jpeg)
