US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

The next Democratic president needs to be prepared to do this immediately in re: every single one of Trump's executive orders since January 20, 2025.

And here's a GoFundMe to help her out (because her prescient critiques of Silicon Valley didn't make her any friends -- or much money either).

Glad the NYTimes wrote this feature. Sorry I got no responses when I posted 9 months ago. But that's nothing compared to how sorry I am that so few people listened to what Barsook had to say 25 years ago.

Joking in your Young Republican group chat about the mass murder of 6 million people who'd been scapegoated for decades as morally degenerate ethnic/religious outsiders is just locker room talk. Speaking lightly of the murder of Charlie Kirk to your 400 friends on Facebook is a fireable offense.

Will submit, but I'm not clear whether I should submit every ISBN for every title (different ones for mass, trade, ebook, etc). If nobody's clear on this, I'll certainly take the time & list all the ISBNs (for me, unlike so many of you romancelandia schtarkers, not really so many, lol)

If Tonda was in yr life & u you cared about her, & if u're in the BayArea, do consider going 2 give her a last dose of love. Can't lie, I was a bit scared, but the community of love & care around her is wonderful 2 experience. Let yourself b a loving co-conspirator by breathing with her 1 last time.
