i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended
More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

The same Supreme Court that just acted overnight to unleash ICE raids that break apart families and brutalize people in LA, couldn't find the time in 2024 to fast-track Jack Smith's case against a sitting president for trying to overthrow our government.

Abolish ICE. What the fuck.
BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Bone chilling.
A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.
The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.
1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

I finally wrote up most of my twitter threads on Palestine and writing from recent weeks into a short essay (combined with my belated-for-my-website cover reveal announcement) talking about ways to think about the politics of your art
Every Throne Will Fall
Slightly belated announcement of my second novel, RAKESFALL, and an essay on the dire necessity for writers to do their work, and to know what work to do, in the face of horror.

Um, what? Ohio Republicans are pretending the constitutional amendment voters just approved establishing a right to abortion doesn't affect their abortion ban.
*And* they're saying they may pass strip courts of jurisdiction over the issue of abortion...! ohiohouse.gov/news/republi...

This is an important thread about what's happening at The Dark, so please read it and subscribe to the magazine if you can.
1) As initially feared, some straight talk when it comes to The Dark Magazine basically boils down to this: the early reports from Amazon for the KU subscription model are not looking good at all. I can’t go into details, not yet, but this is pretty cataclysmic.
