“You don’t have the authority to arrest US citizens asking to see a judicial warrant” —Brad Lander just now as he is being handcuffed by ICE.

The publisher has cut their costs by outsourcing to this company, the company has cut their costs by using AI/low-paid staff instead of paying for a proper job, while I’ve spent hours & hours fixing the manuscript, so all the extra labour from cost-costing has fallen on me, the unremunerated author

So, I just learned that the NEA’s terrific literary team publicly announced their collective resignation, effective at the end of the month. It is a dark time for the arts in this country—which is aging a lot since they were never supported to the extent they should have been.
Arts organizations across the country saw their grants pulled with little explanation, while a proposed federal budget sought to eliminate the arts funding agency altogether.

You cannot negotiate with terrorists. If the Ivies give in to any regime demands, the goal posts will move. If the massive ivy endowments aren’t deployed to preserve institutional integrity and academic freedom, what on earth are they for?

Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
