Reminder: In light of Bad Bunny's Superbowl performance spotlighting Latino culture, here's a hefty list of Latino speculative fiction authors I curated if anyone wants to take a gander and read some phenomenal work. Much love to all!

The world is on fire, and the algorithm
just tossed me a horoscope. And look
I know that we're all star stuffβ€”
mysteries of the universe. Like gluten
we bond and rise in this oven-planet.
But extracting the mountain's heart,

stuffing it into a circuit board,
dressing it in a monkey hat, and
calling it intelligent is not
the same as consulting the stars.
Let computers be computers,
and if you're going to pray,

pray. Don't let the robot
do your soul searching. Look
up to the sky on a dark night
and wonder or calculate or
chat with your human neighbors
"what can I do about tomorrow?"

by Brian U. Garrison

It feels weird to say "Buy my book" given everything, but I stand by the dedication on this collection's first page:

"To the women of Saint Paul, who deserve endless praise."

The resistance here is strong, and I'm so proud of my community working every hour of every day to protect our neighbors.

If anyone is wondering where I'm at mentally, the soundtrack of my days has been almost exclusively Rage Against the Machine and the three released songs from Charlie xcx's Wuthering Heights.

Time to call your reps again. 5 calls hasn't got a script up yet, but I'm sure they will soon. Or write your own. Either way, pick up that phone and start hassling.

Tonight, most (if not all) the Zipps bar locations throughout Maricopa were raided by federal agents. Community members arrived to legally observe and agents pepper sprayed the crowd least one location. Workers were taken.

πŸ‘€ Judge Schlitz, the chief federal judge in Minnesota, has ordered the head of ICE, Todd Lyons, to appeal personally in court Friday and threatened him with contempt for the agency’s repeated violation of court orders.

NEW: Minnesota's top federal judge says ICE has been violating court orders repeatedly β€” detaining noncitizens or rushing them to Texas despite judges' commands.

He wants ICE's director to answer for it "personally," and could level contempt sanctions.
