Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

I will be putting in notice Friday morning with DHS to return to Dilley to check on Liam again and the many other children and families there. Liam did not look well. My staff and I are very concerned about him.

Yes, literally.

Now that it’s basically fall, all I want to read is horror books. But then also all Latine books. So I think I’m going to focus on Latine horror these next two months. 🤭 especially after going through the Charco Press catalog #booksky

Drug trafficking is not a capital crime; it doesn’t carry a death sentence. I genuinely cannot think of anything under U.S. law that would permit premeditated government assassination of people suspected of drug trafficking.

Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.

Love this book so much! Always thinking about it a year later!

How Do I Leave the Prison of Gaza? "The world is small," they say. But Gaza taught me that the world is too big to be shaken by the small tragedies that happen here. Too big to care about a starving human being who only dreams of crossing a crossing.

It's infuriating but sadly not surprising that while I'm promoting an auction to benefit an LGBTQ charity founded by my friend (whom I met in Austin) a trans woman and her friends were assaulted at Barton Springs. These are the perpetrators (orange shorts, cowboy hat, and green shorts):

Angry? I got you. Seriously. Either one will do.
