Special thanks to Fred Shaw & @PQuarterly for this lovely review of my book: "Robert Yune clearly gets this, using place and well-rendered, self-aware characters to great effect, making for some of the most compelling reading I’ve done in a while." pittsburghquarterly.com/arti…

ICE has arrested nearly 75,000 people with no criminal records, data shows aol.com/news/ice-arrested-ne… The President said ICE would target "murderers, gang members, rapists.." This is so wrong! This not what people voted for... This is un-American...

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols wapo.st/3Mbd9a6 Adm. Kevin Lunday , ordered the suspension of the Coast Guard’s hazing and harassment policy...He's up for Senate confirmation this week. Challenge him on this. It's un-American.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols

The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

We’re thrilled to share the cover of LES PORTES by Meredith Nnoka, winner of the 2025 CAAPP Book Prize (@CAAPPoetics)! In her debut collection, Nnoka traces how harm against women and femmes takes root, recurs, and reshapes itself across generations. ‌

What Women Heard in Hegseth’s Remarks About Physical Standards nytimes.com/2025/10/02/us/po… Hegseth WRONG again: "Men and women must meet different basic fitness standards for admission to the military, but for the most high-risk, high-demand positions, standards are gender-neutral."

What Women Heard in Hegseth’s Remarks About Physical Standards

The defense secretary raised the issue suggesting women were getting into combat not because they met high standards, but because they were given a pass.
