“Many of the women say that they were pressured to have unwanted or unnecessary gynecological procedures while in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement”

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

More proof that Sean Duffy lied when he said Trump was canceling private flights at the same rate as commercial ones.

A new report shows that private jet travel saw massive increases as thousands of commercial flights were being canceled.

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.

FYI: Many AI mediums were trained on (pirated) books. Authors use em dashes. A lot. It's been a running joke among authors for as long as I've been authoring. PLEASE stop saying an em dash is indicative of AI use or I swear to god I will fill every sentence of my WIP with them (RIP next copy editor)

Heads up to anyone who uses Stripe, in case you didn't hear/need the reminder: Starting Dec 2025, ALL accounts will be auto opted-in to their AI dispute feature, which will auto fight disputes for you, and take 30% if it wins for you.

If you do NOT want this feature, turn it off via your dashboard.

Also, fellow authors and media folks who game stream, hit me up. I'd like to build a team and set a significant charity goal for the future.

Here's how to turn it off.

Judge orders White House to use American Sign Language interpreters at briefings The National Association of the Deaf is celebrating a legal victory against the White House. A judge ordered ASL for briefings conducted by the press secretary or President Trump.

Great news! The National Association of the Deaf won their lawsuit against the White House, for the White House's decision to end ASL interpretation. My guess is the Daily Moth will cover this news as well.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

I am really trying to get people to understand how much what is happening to our children in Chicago with regard to ICE abductions is like school shootings/gun violence: the random and massive exposure to this particular violence will imprint on a generation and no privilege can fully shield you.

Reporting to you live from War Ravaged Portland

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up. Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

damn, Phineas.
damn.

This likely won't be the last deportation for committing an act of journalism, and it is a warning that indiscriminate arrests by local police around protests will be used as tools and pretexts.
