This is insane and an obscene miscarriage of justice. The question isn't "if," it is "How fascist?" The answer is, sentences of up to 100 years for constituionally protected free speech: nonviolent protests and even "30 years for moving a box of anarchist zines." www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Sure, it would have been great to win (or make the short list) but I'm really glad Helen Phillips and her book Hum won the 2026 Climate Prize. It's a fantastic book. I loved it and was truly honored to be on the longlist with her and so many other great authors. Congrats! climatefictionprize.co.uk

The DOJ violates the Epstein Files Transparency Act on the daily. So I'm suing Todd Blanche. As a journalist, I cannot report accurately on the Epstein Files if I cannot even read them. I am represented by @brendanballou.bsky.social & we seek to hold the DOJ accountable for its noncompliance.
