The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

See you there, Portland

I love this series—the series of it and the substance of it—so much. Such a “necessary alternative.”

Thank you 🐦‍⬛🌒✨

Words fail

Looking forward 🇨🇦✨

A favorite among so many very, very good conversations.

Many thanks 🐦‍⬛✨

Love this. Going to suggest it to my coop.

This is so lovely. Hope it’s your mom’s jam. Also, yay Elliott Bay Books!

Thank you 🐦‍⬛✨

Excited to be zooming into @portybooks.bsky.social in Edinburgh on the 14th! 7pm local time / 11am my time. See you there wherever (whenever) you are🐦‍⬛🌒✨

Happy birthday, David. I feel so lucky to have you in the world.
