Wept in my parked car as I finished listening to Lily King’s Heart The Lover. A perfect novel. 😭

Wow 🤦🏽‍♂️

First one I thought of was All is Forgotten Nothing is Lost, which I loved and whose last pages made me weep 😭 but no I don’t think that’s one people are actually thinking of.

“Even God Cannot Hear Us Here”: What I Witnessed Inside an ICE Women’s Prison Tufts University doctoral student Rümeysa Öztürk opens up about her 45 days in a South Louisiana processing facility—and the generous and compassionate women she met.

A must-read: www.vanityfair.com/news/story/r...

Full-time work and parenting a toddler and infant have me asking everyday what possible writing life I can have in this season. Really needed this 😭

Wow! How cool!

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

“National security” is going to be a widespread excuse for a whole lot of tyranny, evil, and oppression. (It already has but you know.)

I have no words. What an evil world we live in.

Yeah you’ve got hochul uploading an official nygov social video calling lander’s arrest, and I’m quoting here, “bullshit.” They think the feds have overreached and are vulnerable.

No surprise here if you’ve talked to anyone actually in LA.

I ❤️ you, LA. Keep up the good fight. Resist. Abolish ICE.

Lol. Lmao even.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Wow.

Now he needs to be brought home. Now we need more senators actually stepping up and DOING things like this.

“you can tell how bad the stock market is doing based on how obscure the sport a trans athlete is participating in during the fox news coverage”

Amazing 😂

Still thinking about Téa Obreht’s The Morningside months after reading! Any rec on what could scratch that itch?

Our government feels like when Scar took over after Mufasa died. Just a bunch of ecological damage and hyenas running around this mf.

Hardly anything more anti-Christian than these evil people pretending to be Christians and committing the most evil acts in the name of God.

Anyone not for it is telling on themselves 🙃
