I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.
Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.
Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

Hard to believe Ramadan for Everyone, my tenth book, comes out in just two months! And Ramadan is in less than 100 days!
To celebrate its release, I’m offering 30 minutes of a free read aloud of Ramadan for Everyone + q&a to local classrooms/school libraries + virtual sessions if you’re not local!

I’m incredibly thankful that my gastro doctor has always taken me seriously and was able to find the source of my weird symptoms…but at the same time, the treatment for my stomach issue is rough as hell and I’m having ALL the side effects.

Begging writers to do their due diligence and research anyone who’s just decided to randomly launch a lit agency and announce it on here. I’ve got over 8 years of experience as an editor but only have been agenting since April and I would NEVER consider launching an agency just like that,
