I look forward to hearing more about this. Screencaps of the claim are already being shared and while it is sadly all too plausible considered the shameful defunding of EVERYTHING including cancer research, I can't reshare without those sources yet

U.S. citizen children, including 4-year-old with cancer, taken to Honduras on mother's deportation flight, legal advocates say Two siblings, ages 4 and 7, were flown out of the U.S. on their mother’s deportation flight before attorneys could reach them, according to the National Immigration Project.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

The thing is, when government functions well people barely notice it's there.

But we'll notice when it's not.

Thank you Diana. We still can't believe it

Laurel Amberdine Obituary Author and longtime Locus editor Laurel Amberdine died January 21, 2025 of cancer. Amberdine was a devout Catholic who grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and later lived in the Bay Area and Portland…

Terrible news of our dear friend at Locus, Laurel Amberdine. I can't get over this or even believe it yet, it just happened today and I was not ready for this. R.I.P dear friend, I know your faith sustained you your whole life

YouTube video by CityLightsBooks CITY LIGHTS LIVE! Mosab Abu Toha reading from "Forest of Noise"

I HIGHLY recommend listening to/watching this City Lights event with poet Mosab Abu Toha (“Who could know what language the Angel of Death uses.”) Includes footage from the war as well as Mosab's poems. I had to watch it in two parts as it was fairly intense.

A gentle reminder that if you've fallen off any wagons during the last two weeks, you are not alone.

It's been a rough time.

Can you take a moment and do one positive thing for you? Just one. Taking a medication or a vitamin, eating a piece of fruit, making a tiny to-do list: any one small thing.
