One of the things about my anthology that I am both excited and extremely humbled by is the fact that Samuel Delany sent @broadviewpress.bsky.social a newly edited version of his story “Among the Blobs” for me to use, complete with some relevant images, new notes, and a new introduction! #SFF

66 yo gray haired woman here, spent the morning in front of DHS/ICE in SE Albuquerque telling the guards that their Grandmother is disappointed and ashamed of them, calling them cowards and little boys who hide their faces. They called for reinforcements. 🙄 I told reinforcements to fuck off.

We need to stop calling everything an “Epstein distraction.” That’s not reality. This administration does harmful things for real...varied reasons. Right now, a U.S. citizen being shot by ICE in Minneapolis is an urgent crisis that deserves attention. It is clearly the priority.

This was a post about the administration trying to rewrite the history of January 6 and it's incredible how much more urgent and newly present it seemed just a day later

Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe is promoting a “study” that is actually a user-generated Serbian website
The website includes a disclaimer that its data is unvetted and cannot guarantee its information is “accurate or reliable”
The website’s data claims Sudbury, Ontario is more dangerous than Baghdad

A Minnesota state representative said two Richfield Target employees detained by U.S. Border Patrol on Jan. 8 were U.S. citizens and were both injured in the incident.

This is sending marauding battalions through civilian cities, treating them like conquered territories
“People are getting kidnapped where they work. People are getting taken away when they're cleaning snow out of their cars. My son's school, 25 people, only r people showed up yesterday. People are afraid to do their groceries. People are afraid to go to work.

“We are not safe. We are under attack”
There is a longer version of the video of a kidnapping of this kid - there really is no other word for it - here. As he is being shoved into the DHS vehicle he breaks down. At about the 2 minute mark you hear a DHS agent say "wow - fucking child" sarcastically.

The official explanation they’re apparently going with here is that they aren’t 100% convinced that breathing soot and ozone is actually bad for you.
Breaking News: The EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses.

In a reversal, the agency plans to calculate only the cost to industry when setting pollution limits, and not the monetary value of saving human lives, documents show.
