My book Six Centuries of Type & Printing is on track to ship late this month. You can still pledge and get all the stretch-goal extras for a few days longer: an audiobook, an extra ebook, and (for print books) letterpress-printed bookmarks! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gle... After that, a la carte.

At the crux of migration is the fact, which bears out in the history of every busy place on Earth, that some people don't have the means to escape life-or-death situations and, at the same time, submit to filing years of foreign paperwork. Many of the people being arrested have tried their best.

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⤵️

aaaaand that seems to indicate what the borders of a New Civil War might look like, every single AG that signed that letter is indicating they would support the use of their national guard against California and any states that might stand with California.

The whole trans girls in sports discussion is absolutely being used to propagandize people into being transphobic bellends. In K-12, the number of trans girls in sports is five. In college the number is fewer than ten, according to the NCAA President. You're being manipulated. Please stop.

911 isn’t the only number you need to know these days. In Washington state, help is three numbers away. Call or Text 911 – for life threatening emergencies & in-progress crimes 988 Lifeline– for suicide interventions and crisis support 211 – for information & community resources

I cannot stress enough how much the anti-ICE protests are an overwhelming win for Democrats on social media. I’m seeing Instagram influencers who stayed silent on politics for the past year loudly sharing support for immigrants. I’m seeing podcasters who interviewed Trump talk about how wrong ICE is

Nothing can give back to dozens of women (or more) that Weinstein took from them, but the fact that he’s in misery the last years of his despicable life is at least something.

Trump underwater in literally every single issue. 38% approval overall. 27% approval on his spending bill. 40% approval on deportations. Musk also at 30% approval. 38% approval for RFK Jr. 35% approval for JD Vance. Nobody fucking wants any of this. poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

Still waiting for someone to ask, "If the President is so concerned about protesters assaulting police, why did he pardon the ones who tried to kill them on Jan 6? He pardoned the man who tazed DC Metro Police Officer Mike Fanone into a heart attack."

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes told City Council members Tuesday that he plans to stand up for the First Amendment rights of Seattle residents and expects to be jailed at some point for making that stand.

You don't HAVE to "google" jk rowling to realize she wants trans-folk dead. She makes that her public persona. Actors SHOULD ask themselves if they need money badly enough to accept it from a maximum profile bigot, amidst what trump is doing, to film a derivative story that has already been filmed.

Our recent experience in Central Valley (fallows.substack.com/p/finding-lo...) was that ICE had been menacing but had actually deported relatively few, precisely because farm owners in region (mainly Anglo, conservative) understood that it would destroy their businesses. So LA instead.

I swear I am not making this up. Tonight Trump will go to the Kennedy Center to see “Les Miserables,” a play about a mass uprising against a tyrannical king. I hereby retire from satire.

After spending January and February sprinting to research claims by the Admin, I learned one lesson: do not comply with their legal demands. Treat them like AI hallucinations. To paraphrase Toni Morrison, the function of the law in the Trump Admin is to distract from some horrible political goal.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

Better to live in a state like Lankford's, which federal taxpayers lavishly fund. Oklahoma is among the largest recipients of federal funds, meaning New Yorkers' tax dollars.

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share. These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”
