Last week @eddiecampbell.bsky.social and I went to Powell’s Books’ fantastic warehouse to pick up some copies of our Bizarre Romance. @kgerleve.bsky.social helped us (we were given 36 cases of books!) and we had a great visit. Thank you, Brad Jonas and @powellsbookschi.bsky.social !

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

ICYMI, @propublica.org uncovered Project 2025 training videos last summer.
And here’s where they discuss how to evade FOIA & hide their agenda from the public.
The “Houthi PC small group” didn’t arise from ignorance of the law or incompetence.
They just got caught.

Starlink at the White House complex — and the messy way its installation began — is obviously fascinating. But I think it's also worth scrutinizing why federal workers at GSA are being offered the X app as one of their only approved "news" options.

It is easy to overlook the small, but in incredibly important changes, Trump is making in our country
RIP libraries? 📚
In a new EO, Trump has targeted the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the federal agency charged with distributing congressionally approved funds to state libraries and to library, museum, & archives program grant recipients. www.everylibrary.org/statementiml...

A second German tourist is being held in a detention centre after having her Visa revoked by the U.S.
It’s the same detention centre holding Jessica Brösche, the German tattoo artist who spent 8 days in solitary. She’s been held for 6 weeks.
The U.S. is not a safe place to travel anymore

A UK citizen has been detained by ICE at the Canadian border.
Her possessions confiscated, she’s being held in a cell with limited access to the outside world and no idea when she will be allowed to return home.
Stop traveling to the U.S. Vote with your dollar & protect yourself.

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

JD Vance is saying the quiet part out loud: the Trump administration intends to break the law.
America is a nation of laws. The courts make sure we follow the laws.
The VP doesn’t control the courts, and the President cannot ignore the Constitution.
No one is above the law.
