Sam Alito’s Publisher Wants You to Buy the Children’s Books He Just Made It Easier to Ban The author of Mahmoud v. Taylor is writing a book for a publisher that calls the push to ban books with LGBTQ characters an attack on β€œone of the most important foundations of a free society.”

β€œI’m telling you this because right now, Hachette’s website is all about book bans: how wrong they are, and how readers like you can (and must) do your part to stop them.” @jaywillis.net on the hypocrisy of Hachette publishing noted book banner Sam Alito’s new book: open.substack.com/pub/ballsand...

BLSKY friends: I have a book coming out in 4 months! MY BAD: A PERSONAL HISTORY OF THE QUEER 90S AND BEYOND is a memoir-in-essays that reckons with the legacies of the 90s. It's about the Internet, AIDS, and what it means to be queer; it's about gay neighborhoods and nonprofits; it's about squats...

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Minneapolis residents have joined a church-run effort to donate groceries to immigrant families who fear being caught in public by federal agents. What started with a couple of hundred deliveries a week has quickly swelled into a vast operation involving thousands of volunteers. trib.al/1qT1xMw

the truly wild thing is that when I was in El Salvador, I repeatedly saw an alarmist, sensationalist television advertisement from the Department of Homeland security urging people not to come to the United States. that's where your hard earned tax dollars are going.

i wrote a whole book about how absurd and dystopic is "immigration enforcement" system, and yet i find new ways to be appalled and angered at the sheer cruelty of it
