Publishing for Minnesota ends tonight. They are 95% to their goal. Hurray! But we can put them over the top. Here are some auction items that I think are undervalued at the moment (that is less than my offering).

Anyone who still wants to get in on the Publishing for Minnesota fundraiser has until 11:45 pm EST TONIGHT (1/30!) to bid on offerings like manuscript critiques, AMAs, and swag from authors, agents, and editors. $$ supports Minnesotans impacted by ICE. ๐

BREAKING: Federal agents just shot and killed a man in Minneapolis after brutally beating him in front of witnesses.
We condemn this killing and demand ICE and CBP agents withdraw from Minneapolis immediately.

I hope this means you will push harder to get some checks on ICE. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

This is a new program from WNDB designed to break the mold on what children are reading in classrooms while also combatting censorship, which disproportionately targets both diverse books and marginalized authors.

US: Defund ICE.
Congress: What if we gave them more money for body cameras and training instead?
MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But Iโm 43 now and Iโm stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. Iโm also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.
