I read so much! I used to try to run a review blog, but I never had the time to do it properly and it completely fizzled out. So maybe I'll just briefly yell about books I like here.
Damn, that's a list with banger after banger!
I have been behind on SFF things, but I sincerely want to shout out all of my amazing authors who had published in 2025, for awards consideration. #AuntieEditor

"The conditions in this facility are absolutely abysmal. They mix baby formula with water that is putrid. The food has bugs in it. One of my clients had appendicitis, collapsed in the hallway, was vomiting from pain, and the officials told him, take a Tylenol"
Inside the Dilley detention facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo-Ramos is being held
Protests took place this weekend at the detention center in Dilley, Texas, where a 5-year-old Columbia Heights boy and his father are being held. The two were detained by ICE in Minnesota last Friday.

Adam Serwer had some cool things to say in the Atlantic about MN.
(Of course, MN is not a monolith, nor even the Twin Cities. But it's been heartening to see how prevalent and even mainstream resisting ICE is here.)

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

This includes HHS and Ed, which had the worst provisions in congressional history.

If your solution to the ICE problem is more training and body cams, after Jonathan Ross, a 10 Year ICE veteran, murdered Renee Good and captured the act on his OWN PHONE, you are an enemy of the people and cannot be trusted as a public servant ever again.

Renee Good's murderer filmed himself with his own phone camera as he shot her. He does not need more money for a hands-free way to capture murder footage.
Absolute garbage.
Call your reps and tell them NO BODY CAMS, NO TRAINING - ICE CANNOT BE "REFORMED." ICE OUT OF OUR CITIES, THEN DEFUND AND ABOLISH ARE THE ONLY OPTIONS.
