Review: Sunbearer Duology by Aiden Thomas Review: Sunbearer Duology by Aiden Thomas To celebrate the release of the paperback edition of Celestial Monsters, the final book in the Sunbearer Duology by Aiden Thomas. I thought to myself, how will I promote this special release, and then I realized that I technically never posted a review on the blog...whoops. How is it that we sometimes forget to review some of our more talked about reads? So if you are a paperback reader, this mythological queer duology is now ready for you! Thank you to Square Fish & Fierce Reads for the gifted finished paperback copies of this duology!

Celebrating the paperback release of Celestial Monsters, I am posting my review of the Sunbearer Duology, a queer normative, YA mythological fantasy! #BookReview #BookSky #BookThreads #BookCrushin

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

ICE exists to enforce CIVIL immigration law, not CRIMINAL law of any kind. Ergo, there is no legal justification for them:

* to be armed.
* to be masked.
* to kidnap anyone they want when they require judicial warrants to make CIVIL arrests.
* to provide security for the Vice President, ever.

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government.

But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

GOP STUNNED: Democrat Flips Reliably Republican Texas State Senate Seat Democrat Taylor Rehmet won a special election for the Texas state Senate on Saturday, flipping a reliably Republican district that President Donald Trump won by 17 points in 2024.

And quietly the tide begins to turn.... Keep the faith because surely a reckoning is coming.

Homan said ICE is going to stay until "the problem's gone," which means they're never leaving because they are the problem. Just more propaganda trying to make the criminal regime appear "legit" and make it look like they're not the problem.

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals".

This should be said every time ICE is mentioned.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.

But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.

This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.

They must be released immediately.

ARC Review: Postscript by Cory McCarthy ARC Review: Postscript by Cory McCarthy Postscript by Cory McCarthy is very different than other Cory McCarthy books I have read, but also somehow very much a Cory McCarthy book. Does that make sense to anyone other than people who have read Cory's work...IDK but I am going to do my best to give you my thoughts and review below. Postscript is a short read full of heartbreak and emotion, at the end of the world. Check this one out on its release February 17th. Thank you to Dutton Books for the advance reader copy, which does not influence my review below.

I am very much a fan of Cory McCarthy's books, and his upcoming release, Postscript is no exception. It is exceptional! It may be short, extremely emotional, and somehow breaking, yet beautiful. Read my full review on the blog #BookThreads #BookSky

ICYDK, publishing is in a decline. Many authors who have had dependable contracts in the past are now scrambling to make ends meet and seeing lower advances and fewer sales than ever. If you see lots of book publicity posts, it's because we're scared and trying to keep our jobs during The Horrors.

The City of Philadelphia has introduced legislation to limited ICE in the city. The Federal Agents can not be masked, must have ID visible, must have arrested warrants signed by federal judges. They can't attack people. If they can't do this, they will be arrested.

"You were mean to us, so we had to murder you" is the tactic this rancid, racist canned ham is going with, in case you were wondering if things were going to get better.

Kristi Noem must resign.

And if she won’t, she must be held accountable and impeached by Congress.

Greg Bovino Loses His Job The Border Patrol chief has been ousted from his role as “commander at large,” and will return to El Centro.

Bovino is not enough. Steven Miller & Secretary Noem are complicit in the murder of a patriotic American citizen, who they disgustingly slandered as an “assassin” and a “domestic terrorist.” Resign, get fired, or face impeachment. They both need to go. Now.

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)
