I can hardly believe this screenshot is about MY NOVEL! My obsession for the past few years, a piece of my heart, a book about desire and envy, friendship and family, will be published by @BloomsburyPub in 2025. My agent @IwalaniKim is a genius rock star! I'm so grateful.

Rashida Tlaib is doing GOTV in Michigan. The Uncommitted movement are up on the air with anti-Trump ads. These folks deserved so much better from the party. But in spite of it all, they know how much is at stake and they're throwing in to fight against the fascist movement.
DETROIT, MICHIGAN: GOTV RALLY TONIGHT 🗳️ WITH THE ONE AND ONLY @RashidaTlaib 👑 AND THE GREAT @ShawnFainUAW 💪🏽 LET’S GO WIN THIS WHOLE DAMN BALLOT‼️ I’LL BE OPENING FOR LOS TIGRES DEL NORTE AFTERWARDS TOO 🎸
