The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

With this new WIP I'm taking pantsing to extremes: no second-guessing, no idea of what will happen or who will appear next. I'm going for maximum receptivity: letting the book tell me who it wants to be, following where it leads.

The result is that it's weird af.

My husband's old boss (Chris Wink of Blue Man Group) is in the fucking Epstein files. It's so gross to realize I've met one of those creeps personally, been at parties with him.

Gee, maybe they should go back to school to become something useful. Like ICU nurses at the VA, say, or poets. Make their shitty lives meaningful.
What's morale like at CBP & ICE right now? New survey data are damning.
*21% of CBP respondents (9% of ICE respondents) believe their agencies' political leaders maintain high standards of integrity.
*Only 23% at CBP (18% at ICE) feel confident they could report illegal acts without retribution

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Holy hell throw every bastard in ICE into a mile-deep hole. That's the moderate position.
Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

Filth and villainy.
VARNEY: Are we now actively selling the oil we're taking from Venezuelan tankers?

ENERGY SECRETARY CHRIS WRIGHT: Oh, absolutely

VARNEY: How much of that oil are we going to take?

WRIGHT: We'll take the majority of Venezuelan exports

2016, you say? That was when I was momentarily famous for VASSA IN THE NIGHT, and it was also an excellent year for rooftop puddles.

this crystallizes why, despite truly heroic solidarity and activism, i can’t quite get in the “we’re going to win” mindset right now. the harm is so active and there’s so much violence we don’t even know about. people are being turned into ghosts.

Of course, if Trump serves Russia, then triggering the US's suicide by invading Greenland might be the whole idea.

(NATO turns against us; our economy completely collapses; we become a pariah nation; then secession movements start in earnest, beginning with California.)

Also GROWTH OF THE SOIL is Nazi trash, one of the absolute worst books I've ever read.
Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.

Of fucking course.

I walked all the way to the East Village last night--5 or 6 miles. Rain glossed the streets and the shadows were boxy and layered, and there was almost no one on the bridge. I love my city.

ICE agents should really keep in mind that their impunity depends on Trump, and Trump is a decrepit wretch who won't be around much longer. Where will they be without their thug king to protect them?

Saw a Google Principal Engineer (who works on Gemini) on twitter state:

“Code isn’t a moat, data is”

The data they mean is the countless works of creatives Google scraped/stole to build Gemini, NanoBanana and so, on.

That post was yet another reminder, that without us, GenAi would be nothing 😭
