They had legal status. Trump revoked it. Now he’s trying to force them to self-deport by revoking their legally-obtained SSNs. This isn’t protecting the border. It’s purging the population of non-white individuals. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Afternoon writing another 800-ish words into Desperate Women. Another scene in progress, but I had to take a break. Ever creep yourself out with your own words? <shudder> #amWriting #WritingCommunity Gratuitous cat: Luce, aka the heart of darkness, would like a word.

I think it's very important to note that when you want to run human misery like a business--a business based on rounding up people to ship them to a country they aren't from to work in forced labor camps--you're a slaver. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The U.S. must follow due process. If this administration is going to deport people, make sure they're actually criminals. The stakes are too high to make mistakes. Abrego Garcia should be returned immediately.

The courts should put an immediate and unequivocal halt to all use of the CECOT prison in El Salvador, with or without due process. They may not do that. But the people of the US still can. Don't lose of sight of this atrocity amidst the other outrages. Make this a key focus of resistance.

The White House admits they sent an innocent father of three to the prison in El Salvador but they are still fighting to make sure he doesn’t come home. The definition of evil.

Powerful voices from VA clinicians under attack. Veterans are going to see dramatic changes. The suicide rate is going to climb. Homelessness will go up. SecVA Collins knows and doesn't care. Great piece from my friend @krisgoldsmith85.bsky.social. Free read. open.substack.com/pub/onoffens...

Le Pen's ban from running for office is neither an attack on democracy nor a boon for the far-right. It is a move by an independent judiciary to uphold the rule of law, protect the public from political corruption, and shore up French liberal democracy. My latest for @heraldscotland.bsky.social:

404 words into Desperate Women today. So far. You know when you hit where things resonate. Hard. I just hit one of those, unexpectedly, and have to walk it off. Afternoon writing today. #amWriting #WritingCommunity Gratuitous Cat: I'm just a little plot point. I would never hurt anybody.

That these young men have been given the authority to ruin so many lives is infuriating. Every single Republican in Washington is aligned behind these efforts and must be held accountable.
