Please tell me I'm wrong, but it appears the official SFWA StoryBundle being sold right now does not contain a single BIPOC author?

Not just sitting around... actively protecting the spaces they have privileged access to, denying that CWN are in their own spaces, and erasing and attacking any white person who speaks out while using the necessary caution of black Americans as their justification.
What have you done to combat Project 2025?
It's so disappointing (but not surprising) to witness White America now, just sitting around,
witnessing the gradual but stead implementation of a literal Christian White Nationalist policy overhaul throughout our federal govt.

I don't know any of the details or anyone involved. But Smith's public HWA statement includes this which jumped out at me: "For a long time, I thought the responsible way to protect an organization was to handle its problems internally."
It's a hard lesson that is learned over an over again.

Witnessed a middle-aged white guy (reader not author) say that he thinks the things readers support is controlled by the power structure. Gave me a sliver of hope.

One of my earliest childhood memories was spending time with my grandmother in Nancy's Wichita campaign office "running" the copy machine.
Former U.S. Sen. Nancy Kassebaum Baker of Kansas has died.

If you’re a white “progressive” and actually want to do better/more? Follow people that make you uncomfortable with your inaction. Embrace the shame and let it push you to do more.
Sadly, white ppl—even ones who consider themselves socially conscious—are absolutely afraid of calling out their fellow white ppl, particularly if they’re are strangers.
Making it a point NOT to associate with ppl they know hate Black people is simply something we can never expect from white ppl.

White folks, if y'all walking around being nice to MAGA, opening the door for these chodes & exchanging pleasantries with them at the post office, asking how's the kids. At the church picnic with them. Then y'all doing it all wrong. You need to give these fuckers hell. You afraid of them or what?

Maybe that's kind of helpful? If ICE doesn't release body cam footage, then we know they are lying without the need to argue stupid interpretations of the video.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
The Associated Press article below, titled “ICE will release body camera video only when seen in the agency’s ‘best interests,’ policy says,” speaks for itself.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement is moving to equip officers with body cameras in the next two months but the public should not expect to quickly see footage of every critical incident.

UCLA illegally fired its DEI Director—over posts about Charlie Kirk. Obviously suing.
Hired a team of lawyers, including 1st Amendment specialists; no idea how this’ll go but y’all have my word on one thing:
I will never ever accept any settlement that requires me to keep the details confidential.
