There’s been a bipartisan commitment to the idea of immigrant labor without immigrant people or immigrant rights, which in its way is as corrosive to meaningful democracy as ethnonationalism imo

Don't miss this vile story: MAGA is raging at DHS chief Markwayne Mullin for admitting migrant farmworkers can beneft our economy. This means his devotion to ethnic cleansing is in doubt. He must be excommunicated! I wrote about the collapse of MAGA mythology here: newrepublic.com/article/2138...

For 40 years, CW has been supporting underrepresented voices in spec fiction. When you play The Story Oracle, you are not only investing in our mission, you get to take a choose-your-own adventure game leading to curated reading recs. And tomorrow (Aug 1) is the last day to play: bit.ly/44kuAuI

Over a light bright blue background of book illustrations, the words: "The labyrinth is closing August 1." Underneath the header is a crystal ball with the following figures inside: "$11,003.26 raised of $10,000. 111% raised, 217 donors." Beside the crystal ball are the words, "Your last chance to play Story Oracle is nearly here. Choose your own adventure and receive curated reading recs before the labyrinth closes at 9 PM PT on August 1." At the bottom is the "Play Story Oracle" logo, followed by "don't miss out" and "A fundraising game for Clarion West."

If anybody was excited that Science Fiction Weekly is aiming to "revive" Daily Science Fiction, you should know they are straight-up lying about having gotten permission from writers to republish DSF stories on their website. (Yes, I have sent a DCMA takedown notice.)

This all goes back to the A word - accountability. If Dems take control of any levers of power - either a chamber of Congress or WH - we need to see clear, concerted, methodical effort to impose accountability. If accountability for lawlessness is not part of any “Project 2029 (or 2027) Plan” then 🚮

This is morally monstrous behavior. These are ordinary, innocent people that Trump is condemning to suffering & death out of political vindictiveness. Every decent human being, regardless of political party, should condemn it. Where is the fucking *anger*? From the press? From civic leaders? Pols?

Mischief Game Store, a game shop from St. Paul who stepped up during the recent ICE incursions in Minnesota, received the Diana Jones Award for Excellence in Gaming. Congrats!

Abby and Riley are at #GenCon2026 in Indianapolis where we've just (improbably!) been awarded the Diana Jones Award for Excellence in Gaming. We are overwhelmed and extremely grateful for receiving this high honor. Thank you to all!! ❤️

wtf “But the 25-foot buffer is not a fixed line. It moves with the agent. Which means the crime moves with the agent. Which means an ICE officer can walk toward you, close the distance himself, and manufacture your arrest.”

ICE Gestapo Weaponize New Fascist Kansas Law That Makes It Illegal to Witness ICE – The Kansas City Defender

Kansas Republicans overrode their own governor to pass the Halo Act, a moving 25-foot arrest zone around every agent in the state. In Olathe, ICE is already using it to trap the people who film them, ...

Running out of body bags, using forklifts to transfer corpses into makeshift morgues, a mortician conducting 200 funerals in a month when he usually does 30, crematories running at double capacity… And these senators just want to memory-hole it all www.nytimes.com/2020/04/30/n...

'Anthropic described the project as “our effort to disruptively scan all the world’s books” in an internal memo, which noted “we do not want it to be known that we are pursuing this project”.'

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

I am in search of interior line artists who like drawing mecha and anticipate having about 32 pages worth of time over the next six months or so. Please share your portfolios. I know that the commission-me-now bots don't actually read posts, but if you are a bot I shall cry.

A good design decision to put the domestic money at the bottom, so you can see that it — putatively Trump’s real business genius — barely moved at all.

well, some time later, I have learned that there's a lot of ignorance about Taiwan out there amongst non-Taiwanese/non-diaspora/non-experts, so some basic things: -KMT dictatorship ended in '88 -the opposition party (DPP) is the one currently in power -Chinese invasion = another White Terror
