Donald Trump is deporting legal US residents to a foreign gulag, and he has stated publicly that he is moving on to citizens next. This is a Constitutional crisis. Will a single Republican stand up for our Constitution?

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

If you're an elected Democrat and you don't speak out about Trump's proposal to jail American citizens in a foreign torture dungeon for life, what are you even doing in public office? Why have the job?

If Jeff Bezos can send Katy Perry into space, he can pay a wealth tax so every American has debt-free healthcare.

The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government. hrvd.me/ResearchFundin…

People always ask, "How have you written 32 mysteries (and three nonfiction books)?" Despite unscrupulous publishers, myriad rejections, critical crickets, and – most recently – cancer. The answer: I keep at it, the craft, the work. The payoff? bolobooks.com/2025/03/the-bu…

@mmdaviesostrom @Gabino_Iglesias Keep. Writing.

@Gabino_Iglesias I'm struggling with war of attrition. I'm struggling to find value in my words when no one else seems to want them, despite the praise they offer. Thank you for your posts - they help me keep fighting.

My writing career has always been in spite of things. Lack of experience. Changing countries and languages. Being broke. Having three jobs while working on my degree. Racism. Hate mail. Unethical publishers. No agent for 15 years. Writing is a war of attrition, and I don’t quit.

@Gabino_Iglesias only way to survive, much less succeed! Go, you! Go, us!
