I've seen five or six similar posts today regarding emails purporting to be from authors, agents, and publishers, along with the four I've received from nonexistent book clubs and the one from the Editorial Director of Penguin.

On Friday and Saturday, the Twin Cities were the center of global news. A day of solidarity. A horrific murder of a good man by masked federal agents. A city that rallied with peaceful fury. And then, as of Monday, a scapegoat sent packing. A neat story all wrapped up. Reporters all fly home.

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
The intense fallout from the killing of Alex Pretti has forced President Trump to publicly change course in Minneapolis.
Listen to our White House reporters discuss the changes on today's episode of "The Daily."

Mayor Mamdani consistently and regularly demonstrates that your mayor, your politicians, could be doing this at any point and they just don't because they don't care, and that's exactly why the establishment was panicked and aggressively tried to make sure he lost. They didn't want you to see this.

Nope. Son of Holocaust survivor. My father was 11 when the Nazis invaded his hometown in eastern Poland. He survived only by fleeing to a different city with a false baptismal certificate. The comparison is apt. Carry on.

100%. I honestly believe political leaders ask too little of people. The thinking is you need an extraordinarily low bar - so ask people for money or to sign something. People want to be part of something and they're eager to do real meaningful work in defense of their community and their rights.
I have begun to think that Minnesota pushback to ICE was unique and a model because it gave people something to do. It wasn’t about just going out in streets for rallying purposes. People had a mission: videos, whistles, information and communication flow to communities. They had something to do.

Here is an example of a Dutch call-up paper for Jews to report to labor camps.
The Frank family ignored their call-up, meaning they were officially in Amsterdam illegally from this point on.
The Trump administration is doing Holocaust revisionism to avoid the possibility of empathy for migrants.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.
Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.
