Am reading 🪐📚

I think it’s fine to bully people for reading Harry Potter in 2025 actually If you want to read your old Harry Potter books, you should do it in secret and shamefully - you know, in the way that J.K. Rowling wants to force trans people to live.

The next step for Trump is to send a US citizen convicted of something like child murder and rape to CECOT in El Salvador. It'll set the precedent to send citizens there while neutralizing outrage over it because of the heinous nature of their crimes. Then it'll any felony and then protestors.

Good.

💙📚 Finished Words of Radiance today. Wasn’t sure about starting this series since most rec’s were for the Mistborn series and the length of every book so far is 1k+ pages BUT I found the first three in my local used bookstore. So far extremely happy with the decision to send it. #booksky

“We’re not cops. That’s not our job, & we should resist any attempt to turn health care facilities into places where law enforcement is taking place.” Health care workers strategize to protect undocumented patients from immigration raids, Tamar Sarai reports. prismreports.org/2025/02/25/i...

I hope every FED employee writes that they watched the video of Trump sucking Elon’s toes in their “what did you do this week” email.

Democrats with hundreds of six figure media consultants: Get ready for a price hike on your covfefe 😂😂🤣🤣 Gustavo Petro: I don’t care if I die, I fucking hate your guts and my ancestors will haunt you

Me: Oh no that trolley is going to run us over! Guy tied up on the track next to me who somehow thinks he's actually the guy holding the lever: Lol cry more 😂

My new essay comic, Antisemitism in a Time of Genocide, is now up at Le Monde Diplomatique in France. I’ll thread the 8 panels in English here, and link to the French at the end.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

Imagine hiring a bodyguard and every time there's an intruder in your home, the bodyguard locks the doors and takes a flamethrower to the carpets. "Either you die, or we all die," the bodyguard says to the intruder, "and I'm ok with both." Anyway who designed the immune system, I just wanna talk
