New York City says it can’t afford to keep its libraries open on the weekends but it can afford to spend literally millions in one night in cop overtime pay to beat the shit out of undergrads sitting still on their own campus. That should infuriate everyone except fascist idiots.

I can share this news, which is still hard to believe. Thank you to booksellers everywhere who read my book and voted. I'm still stunned that FIRE EXIT is June's #1 Indie Pick!
Friends--be sure to buy all the books on the list!

May Columbia never live this down.

What are your favorite horror novels or stories that are also moving. I want a story that will frighten me but also take me to emotion ! ! !

The baba at USC who showed up to support his daughter at the encampment came with his own baba. This is what it means to be an elder. It’s not simply being older. It’s about being wise and mature enough to model how to live on the Earth and to let the youth inspire you to action!

not to detract from how significant this at all but in this context it is especially important to include that hawai’i is a sovereign nation that was overthrown in an illegal coup and has remained under illegal military occupation by the US government for over 130 years
