I feel like we've been saying this forever but it's worth saying again. Book bans do not exist in a vacuum. They're not one off events. Book bans are the canary in the coal mine. They usher in an era of censorship, fascism, violent scapegoating. Authors, join the fight: @authorsabb.bsky.social!!

When secret police agencies in other countries do what ICE is doing (abducting people off the street while wearing masks, throwing them into vehicles, transporting them to undisclosed locations, and not filing any criminal charges) we call it "disappearing" people. That's what's happening here now.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

That’s the problem. We’ve been standing by for too long.

350 Rabbis took out a full page ad in the NYTimes today opposing Trump’s plan for Palestine and calling it ethnic cleansing.

Good advice. I’ve followed it for years. I’m not running for prom queen.

Pop quiz: People are saying the kid says “you’re not the president you need to go away” — do y’all hear it too?

This is absolutely chilling. He truly is a sociopath.

Your Daily Affirmation: Confronted with an avalanche of heinous fuckery, I crouch behind a rock, curl up, and wait for it roll past. I breathe and resolve to help the survivors when I can stand again. I will stand again. #waffles

Hell yeah. Great read.

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

You can't shame MAGA. It's impossible to shame shameless people. I go on and debate them, trust me. They will make excuses for and glorify Musk's Nazi salute and Trump pardoning violent insurrectionists. But remember there's a world out there - and the majority opposes it. Be loud. Don't be silent.

We're going to normalize Nazi rhetoric, symbols, slogans, conspiracies and eugenics within 2 weeks. I predicted this would happen by 2024 a few years ago, and I take no joy in being right about it. Corporate media will sanewash it. You think I'm being hyperbolic but you're not paying attention.

Holy fukin sh*t people

Your Daily Affirmation: Even though everything appears to be on fire, I am chilly. Even though the world is awash in heinous fuckery most foul, I am decent, kind, and thoughtful. Just because this is the current normal, does not mean it's normal, and I can make it better.#chill

Hey America. Just saying.

Gray squirrel hanging on ...

Repeat on Monday

So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. But it's okay for America's billionaires to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. Do I have this right?

Well, well, well...🙄

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY 💯

Remember, it's not "looting" when incredibly wealthy people get even more incredibly wealthy, no matter what the circumstances are.
