“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Kobo is doing a 30 day free trial promotion for their Kindle Unlimited competitor service Kobo Plus for new subscribers (not sure if this is US only), if you like queer indie books, small press SFF, and backlist SFF from large publishers there's a lot to choose from on this service that's not on KU!

In case you missed it, the day before Mahmoud Khalil’s detention by Ice none other than Shai Davidai tweeted at Rubio demanding his deportation.
And once he was apprehended, he felt these were legit “consequences” for him protesting.

If they can simply assert your activities are aligned with terrorism, and based on that assertion alone with no process they can disappear you, it’s over. We have to keep fighting in the courts, but the most important thing is to build with people in your own community to protect people.

The details are disturbing. It basically looks like a kidnapping. They even got his legal status wrong but proceeded to detain him anyway. The agents didn’t even identify themselves at first and refused to show a warrant.

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Agents told him his visa was revoked.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 They were confused—then said that was revoked too.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.

This is why we must fight for everyone. Whether they’ve been incarcerated or have had contact with the criminal legal system or are merely undocumented. When you accept that some people are deserving of detention and deportation the scope of who is eligible is always under threat of expanding.

Last year, I donated a massive box of RPG books to a local prison.
One of my best friends from high school is a prison librarian & he says RPGs are extremely sought after but very rarely donated, so if you have any unused RPG manuals you don't need consider donating them.

Alot of discussion has been spurred since the arrest of Luigi Mangione, including the nature and costs of incarceration. Given his crowdfund rapidly approaching $500,000, both critics & supporters are asking how others behind bars can be aided
