whole idiot. novelist. ALL US SAINTS out 5.19.26 from Bloomsbury
- what’s, uh what’s going on here
- loveeed listening to Jamie talk about the novel that is personally responsible for every time I have ever used the phrase “swimming-pool light”
- making veggie dogs out of just tofu and seasoning which is the kind of thing they’re always making in Dykes to Watch Out For
- like
- everyone doing legal observation knows that their plates are getting run, their faces are getting scanned, etc. opsec is about protecting 1) the people ICE is trying to abduct and 2) the channels used to coordinate that protection
- missing from Will’s post is the context that a lot of organizing is happening rn using both in-person meetings and Signal chats also missing is that he was kicked out of his rapid response chat for insisting on letting a journalist do a ride along against other observers’ wishes
- a bunch of the coordination chats got shared on twitter and quickly filled up with MAGA chuds. the systems here can’t work if there aren’t SOME barriers. people are working hard to make sure those stay as low as possible
