Emily Galvin-Almanza

Last night we had a packed house @prairielights.com Iowa City! All the spicy things I've said have, I'm told, been captured and will be posted on their website. JEEPERS! Off to @pilsencommbooks.bsky.social in Chicago on Monday with @macarthurjustice.bsky.social !

The fuck kind of answer is this

And if this is your nudge to grab a copy, you can find some indie sellers here or go to your local shop! www.emilygalvinalmanza.com/books

GUESS WHO MADE THE INDIE LIST?

I could not be more excited to have The Price of Mercy on this list---this is the *indie* list, meaning books that are selling well at real brick-and-mortar bookstores, and indie sellers online...ergo my readers are the coolest ;)

Join us for a book talk with @galvinalmanza.bsky.social. Her newly-released book, The Price of Mercy, exposes the reality of America's criminal courts and what's needed for reform.

Can't wait to see you Philly!

abolish ICE is a majority position among INDEPENDENTS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC

you have 23% among REPUBLICANS

we have at least three more years of this shit

what I am saying is: the next Dem president had better be ready to walk into DHS with a chainsaw on Day 1

Always prioritize Tupac

More than 70,000 North Carolinians have incomplete voter registrations. Check the database below to see if you’re on the list. If you are, you can still vote, but you should bring your driver’s license with you, and you may be required to cast a provisional ballot.

This report does a fantastic job of documenting a ridiculous crisis - there are only two ways out, arrest fewer people or hire more public defenders. Jdxs are going to have to do one or the other and continuing to drag their feet is only going to make the situation worse.

See you soon Iowa!!!

Santa Clara County Public Defenders! Today I got the deeply moving experience of walking back into the office where I began my path as a defender, and sharing The Price of Mercy with the brilliant champions moving us all closer to free and equal justice. My heart is so full.

In case you’re wondering how MAGA is taking the news. Let’s just say the group chat is in full meltdown mode.

Here’s what the loudest right wing voices are saying:

📌 Tucker Carlson: the decision to attack Iran “absolutely disgusting and evil.”
🧵

WOW. 19 people, all who were imprisoned and mistreated in a foreign prison at the direct command of the United States, are brave enough to say “We are innocent, and we will endure more time imprisoned to prove that.”

I can only admire the enormous courage such a move takes.

So thrilled to be on The Jabot via @abovethelaw.com to talk about The Price of Mercy!

When people run on a tough on crime platform, what are they really promising you? Nothing. They are promising you this status quo. Zero innovation.

Such a pleasure to talk with Michele Storms about The Price of Mercy at @townhallseattle.bsky.social !

Thank you!!

See you soon Mill Valley!

Such a perfect microcosm of the whole administration

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, appears to have deleted his tweet after these Democrats responded

Greenland has free healthcare for all Greenlanders btw 💀

I just finished Emily Galvin Almanza’s new book, The Price of Mercy. Such a wonderful book, below is my review and recommendation, and HUGE thanks to @galvinalmanza.bsky.social

I am just so completely, totally honored by this thoughtful and kind review. Thank you so much! I hope you put it up somewhere even people who aren't on Blue Sky can see it!

if you have some time for weekend digging:

The National Science Foundation’s entire budget is $10 billion.

The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents | Fortune Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath said older generations “screwed up” giving students access to so much technology: “I genuinely hope Gen Z quickly figures that out and gets mad.”

Can we go back to books?

If you want to join the conversation, I may be headed your way, here's what's up next :-)

Sold out @powells.bsky.social last night! Huge thanks to Seth Gannon for an amazing conversation, to the Defenders of Portland for turning out, and to the crowd for asking some of the best questions I've encountered so far!

This is GREAT, thank you so much for sending it! And thanks for your interest in the book as well!
