Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Here's the thing, though: There's enough people claiming the label of Christian who think and act like he does that, at some point, the word is going to mean people like him. To a lot of people, that point has already happened. If you want to rehab the term, start with the so-called pretenders

And just like that, SFWA capitulates. Keep fighting. It works.

The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association

AMENDED RULES for the Nebula Awards

Dear Meghan,

Earlier today, you received an email titled, “Note from the Board on This Year’s Nebula Rules.”

To be clear, SFWA does not support the use of LLM generative models in the production of creative work.

The Nebula Award Rules did not reflect our current policy and deeply held beliefs and values, and they were amended to reflect that.

With further input, today, we made an important change to the Nebula Awards Rules in two board votes that we would like to share with you:

Previous Text:

"Works that are wholly written using generative large language model (LLM) tools are not eligible."

New Text:

"Works that are written, either wholly or partially, by generative large language model (LLM) tools are not eligible."

-and-

Previous Text:

"Works that used LLMs at any point during the writing process must disclose this upon acceptance of the nomination, and the nature of the technology’s use will be made clear to voters on the final ballot"

New Text:

"Works that used LLMs at any point during the writing process must disclose this upon acceptance of the nomination, and those works will be disqualified."

We will update our posted rules in the coming days to reflect this change.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
