People don't want data centers polluting their cities.
They don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors.
They don't want warehouses being turned into ICE prisons.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home.
They want their basic needs met.
From @wired.com: “Federal records reveal ICE is secretly expanding into 150+ facilities across nearly every state — many near schools, medical offices, and places of worship… DHS asked the General Services Administration to hide lease listings and bypass normal procedures…”🤔

It's time for WIP Wednesday!
Meet Slotle.
An unusually small goblin, the most relatable thing about Slotle is that he's trapped at work, day in and day out. Except in his case, there's a spell involved.

When his intriguing new night clerk arrives, Havelock can feel the cobwebs slipping away for the first time in years. The flame of hope sparks, but is it enough to save either of them? (2/2)

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home!
Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.
BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

...
The Kingsport Chronicles is a sapphic Little Mermaid retelling, full of high-seas adventure, political intrigue, and a world rediscovering that magic truly exists.
#chcarterwrites #kingsportchronicles #lgbtqfantasy
This might have been the longest break I've taken after releasing a new book.
I'm nervous and excited for what's next, a book that's very different from the Kingsport Chronicles, but I hope everyone will love these new characters as much as I do.🖤
