It’s Banned Books Week, and I don’t need you to buy my book as a solve for it (but buy it if you want to! That’s still extremely cool of you)—I need you to show up for your public libraries and your schools!

An illustration. In the foreground, two figures sit on a downed tree and embrace. There is a gasoline can and two spicy cocktails in the ferns surrounding them. They look down at a valley which has a prison on fire in it. There is a decorative leaf border around the whole illustration. Text at the bottom reads Our Melody is Louder than a Shout and has a circle a.

“It’s a scary moment, but it’s also a moment that bears no equivocation. At this point you are either on the side of protecting our neighbors and protecting our community, or you’re on the side of this administration. There is no neutral ground in this moment. There’s no center left. You’re either resisting or you’re complicit.” - Eman Abdelhadi

Holding the Line Through Tear Gas and Censorship “There is no neutral ground in this moment. You’re either resisting or you’re complicit,” says Eman Abdelhadi.

I talked with @mayaschenwar.bsky.social and @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social about immigration raids and the violent repression of protesters in Chicago, the administration’s war on free speech and the organized left, and lessons from our upcoming book, Read This When Things Fall Apart.

This explains a lot. For a moment, I wondered why they'd do something as ridiculous as drop agents on the roof of the apartment building from helicopters, but of course, they did it for this footage. The same reason they were marching in formation downtown and snatched a family in Millennium Park.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

and it’s just deeply weird to see people care about the potential sentiences of human-made technologies without at least acknowledging and trying to equally regard and appreciate the very real, non-speculative sentiences we can see and observe in the world.

bangs. "They was terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other," Watson said. "That's all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where's the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, 'f*** them kids.'" Watson said trucks and military-style vans were used to separate parents from their children. Other neighbors said agents destroyed property to get in the building. "They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down," said witness Darrell Ballard. "We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military."

“Fuck them kids.”

That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.

More people need to understand that saying only “criminals” should be subjected to expanding state violence around us is what led to the broader public being targeted by it, too. Criminality is subjective, and power determines what it is or is not.

"But do you condemn Hamas?"
The IDF has killed more children in the past year than the total number of casualties of any age attributed to Hamas over all time, and it's not even close. So the real question is, "Do you condemn the IDF?"

Ope yep that is a different problem entirely

I read it (it’s v short) mostly just to better understand the discourse around it. I think it’s pretty clear to the reader that it’s fiction - sci fi, in fact! I have heard of people mistaking fiction for nonfiction and vice versa though, mostly with memoirs and first person narrative fiction.

In conclusion, go read a book ✨
