“The Trump administration says it mistakenly deported an immigrant with protected status but that courts are powerless to order his return.”

How to Defend Immigrants Against the Most Common ICE Tactics These “know your rights” videos have crucial, easy-to-understand information.

Sharing information is more critical than ever and helping to defend our immigrant communities and neighbors is one clear action that we can all take right now.

Thank you so much for your efforts. This didn’t go the right way but I think at least some of the legislators are starting get a little gun shy about all these authoritarian bills. I’m sure your work is part of the reason why

A lot of state legislators with too much time on their hands

It turns out that trilogy of novellas I drafted where a spoiled tech bro seizes control of portions of a state government—the one I set in 2040 because at the time I thought 2030 was too soon to be believable— was subtle and understated.

Congratulations me for becoming an optimist, I guess.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.
