At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

This is some dark, sick shit. Our kids deserve a better country than this. We all deserve a better world than this. We have no choice but to defund and dismantle DHS and ICE, and prosecute every ghoul who brought us to this terrible place.

I don't have experience with the audiobook edition, but I dearly love Heaney's translation.

I've been away, strained, offline but still news-stabbed, physically sick, and emotionally gutted by this world and its injustice and corruption and evil and war and rot, but to everyone out there with a good heart on the right side of history, I love you and have you collectively in my thoughts.

I would drool all over that series. At a certain point, there would be the sense that something was Wrong in the drooling.

Thank you so much, Alma! What an incredible list of shout-outs to be included in, and what a crazy good ballot! I'm grateful this is my first novel because the regular novel category is ridiculous.
