ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed. No one knows why he was detained.

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality
[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]

How to critically read a text. This is what the author wrote, here’s one way to interpret what they’re saying and here’s why I think it’s interesting or significant. It’s an invaluable skill. And increasingly rare across different mediums.

It all started with Reagan many years ago. When he deregulated the media, he gave the purveyors of lies, conspiracies, and misinformation the freedom to do and say whatever they wanted.

I get a lot of letters from #amquerying writers that undersell their books because they don't understand the query format. The rules are esoteric, hard to find, and highly variable, so I often just recommend reading a lot of queries that worked! Here are my favorite resources for that--🧵

The fact that Disney bought Star Wars and bought the Muppets and haven’t done a Muppets Star Wars is a crime.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”
Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid:

“Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s.

Over half of those deported were US citizens.”

If you see this, quote with your first ever anime. Hard to say what the actual first was. I'll go with the original, GOAT isekai, Digimon Adventure 😤

Remember to identify scapegoat tactics when we see them. Are immigrants buying up all our properties and taking jobs, or maybe there should be policy to protect rent and housing prices? Are homeless littering our streets or is there lack of infrastructure that the gov doesn't want to invest in?

Right, done with bird app. Hopefully I can build here. I just started following a bunch of authors, editors and writing agents there to start connecting with the industry, but hopefully they're here too
