It’s too cold for this today. Can I just go back to bed?

Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Mood af 😂

Seeing my book in readers’ hands makes me so unbelievably happy 🥹

I start a new job tomorrow!
Wish me luck! 🤞🏽

The era we are living in offers too many illustrations of greed, narcissism, and hatefulness. But I still believe we can recommit ourselves to serving the common good of all Americans. [Artwork by Jennifer Bloomer]

The irony that the Department of Education no longer considers (wait for it) EDUCATION (no, really) a professional degree…

We are truly living in an idiocracy.

See you Saturday, Connecticut! 📚

Teacher demo lessons be like: Here, take this unit that normally takes a week to teach. Now turn it into a 45 min lesson, but you’ll only have 20 minutes to teach it. You’ll be in the room with 30 strange kids and five school administrators. They’ll all be judging you. Good luck!

Something different… 💇🏽‍♀️

Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not.

Watch till the end

Hope to see you Saturday at the Springfield Latino Book Fair! 📚

¡Nos vemos pronto!

Begging all the people who loved the new Frankenstein to read SEVEN LEGENDARY MONSTERS.

Please. You will love it. 🙏🏽

…in beings that the world sees as monstrous. While Elizabeth is not the mother of the creature, both she and Keraná are the only ones who view the monsters with tenderness rather than disgust or fear.

For after all, as SLM says, “What are monsters but men made wrong?”

I could write an essay about the parallels between the new Frankenstein and SEVEN LEGENDARY MONSTERS, but it all boils down to one key idea— Monsters are not born. They are created through suffering and rejection.

Elizabeth and Keraná are both deeply compassionate characters who see the humanity…

I hear there’s been a jewel heist…
How suspicious 😏

Today! Hope to see you there, 518 friends!

🤮

On my way to ruin the workplace. Anyone need anything?
