Hi! Any anti-Zionist Jewish writers out there attending AWP, not full up on panels, and potentially interested in last-minute joining one?

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Donโ€™t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are ๐Ÿ“‰

If you see your House Rep on this list, call them tomorrow morning and demand a No vote on HR 9495.

Yes, we just voted on this. But now, they donโ€™t need a super majority so w/ all these yeses, it will pass, putting any nonprofit at risk based on โ€œa unilateral accusation of wrongdoingโ€ -ACLU

Now is not the time to abandon our creative projects about ideas and people that make the world richer and more truthful and more reflective of our communities. They want us to do that, that is their goal. We will not do it.
