SIGN NOW: Tell Congress to support the Counseling Not Criminalization Act! We ALL want schools to be safe but we also must be clear that there is no evidence that increasing the number of police in schools actually improves school safety. Instead it takes critical resources ...

The Grand Opening of an American Concentration Camp The Republicans are proudly calling it “Alligator Alcatraz.” Let’s call it what it is.

I wrote about the day the president attended the opening of an American concentration camp:

As a NYer i can attest that the other candidates, including the current Mayor, do NOT have the credentials one would assume they do. So this leaning on perceived experience leans more in terms of what folx assume should be the case but hasn't helped citizens.

Shouts to the NY1 correspondent who corrected her colleague who quoted Trump by saying, "(Zohran) Mamdani is a socialist, NOT a communist." 👏🏿 #FactCheck

The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org

No Kings On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

Going off socials for the month of June as part of my regular need to disconnect, recalibrate, and focus on what's in front of me and on the ground. If you need me, email or call. No DMs will be checked. (I'll also be off tech for half the month.) Take care of yourselves and one another! 🌻

Sending good writing energy!

Congrats congrats, Debbie!!! 🥳

Editors are present for authors. And boundaries are important on all sides. We don't lose sight of that. In fact doing both makes me better at both roles. All said, looking forward to delving into more words, more structure/revision, and being fully offline in June to focus while traveling.

Most of my career was in book production while editing on the side. Doing book acquisitions can sap you with all the demands, meetings, development of others work. So it's really important if you enjoy being in fields as a FT gig and separately to know your boundaries and needs to fill *your* well.

#WriterSky: Tomorrow begins #1000wordsofsummer!

June also begins my personal project of a minimum of 250 words every day for the whole month.

It's hard to write while back to FT editing. But maintaining a schedule + "writing challenges" has helped me balance my creative mind even when sapped.

I am sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Iman. Iman is a nurse in Gaza and is engaged to Ahmed. She is taking care of her sick parents and also helping with the three very young children of her brother who was martyred one year ago today. Hoda, 5, Tala 3, and Sham, 1.

The Trump Administration Wants to Create an ‘Office of Remigration’ to Kick Immigrants Out of the Country "Remigration"—a far-right European plan to expel minorities and immigrants from Western nations—may soon have a dedicated office following a Trump administration reorganization of the State Department...

AS PART OF a sweeping reorganization of the State Dept, the fascist is creating an Office of Remigration. Remigration is an extremist immigration policy that calls for the removal of ALL migrants-including “non-assimilated” citizens-with the goal of creating white ethnostates in Western countries.

I keep thinking about that scene in AVENGERS: ENDGAME and how a year later, during the shutdown, a big observation was, "look at how the environment is improving with less people out and about sapping resources and distributing waste."

Happy Pub Week, Gabe! #BookBirthday #YAFantasy
