If you rank civility over justice at this point you are a collaborator
I’m completely fed up with elected Representatives saying shit like, “Republicans will tell you behind closed doors that they don’t agree with what ICE is doing”.
Playtime is over. Professional courtesy no longer exists.
Name them, record them, and make it public.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

I’m excited to have a micro-excerpt from my novel-in-progress in this issue. Thrilled to be in such great company!
Finding an under 200-word, freestanding section to extract and submit was a difficult —but rewarding—challenge. Big thank you to eds. @owenwyke.bsky.social and @amygcb.bsky.social !

ICE’s violence is not “unfortunate.”
It’s intentional.
It’s deadly.
This weekend — we gather to demand accountability — and to build power.

Support Democrats who promise accountability and prosecutions against this lawless Trump regime, and who champion "Abolish ICE" and refuse to throw immigrants under the bus.

“It wasn’t the thing she was supposed to die of, but an accident. While it was happening, it felt like a cartoon.”
