On the blog, @pematson.bsky.social reviews Ruiner by Lara Messersmith-Glavin: "I really enjoyed diving into this world and learning about its people, and the ending definitely left me wanting more."

Thank you for this review!

New from me at @inthesetimes.com: I talked with organizers in cities around the country on how they are fighting back against ICE. This is what antifascism looks like when the far-right takes state power. Rapid response, protest encampments, community self-defense.
inthesetimes.com/article/the-...

Everywhere we see how anti-migrant racism and dehumanization is the central pillar for growing fascist rhetoric.

To be anti-fascist today is to be anti-border.

14 ICE detainees have died so far in 2026 As of mid-February, there were more than 68,000 immigrants in federal custody, according to ICE data. A Mexican national died in a facility outside Los Angeles last week.

So far this year, 14 people have died in U.S. ICE custody, including a Mexican man who was found unresponsive last week at a facility in Los Angeles, according to DHS data.

Distro Highlight ✨️ 🚀
Event Horizon by Balsam Karam and from @feministpress is an exquisite existential novel, dark as deep space, woven with reflection on oppression, solidarity, trauma, and loss.

The outcome of the first Prairieland trial does not mean that resistance is impossible.

But it does mean we have to

—teach all potential defendants not to cooperate with police

—teach all potential jurors about jury nullification

—and take these steps to build redundancy and resilience:

"As recently as 2017, physical mail was the primary method of communication with friends and family members for those incarcerated in every prison system in the U.S"

Now, 78% of the US prisoner population no longer can receive physical mail.
