Everything about this is despicable, appalling, and grotesque. From what this young woman is experiencing to what she has seen in the detention facility, the United States is nothing short of vile. www.bbc.com/news/article...

rally to demand the release of Mahmoud Khalil now, near the federal building (ICE works in there), nyc

Setting aside the incredibly dangerous and fascist aspect of this, is there actual evidence that Khalil was a “Hamas supporter”? Or is the standard for a green-card holder being sent to a secret location and possibly deported just “critical of Israel”?

Trump and Musk have cut vital programs at the VA, leaving many veterans in crisis abandoned. Our veterans answered the call, but now nobody will answer theirs.

Y'all this is REALLY BAD. They disappeared a Palestinian activist green card holder who is married to a US citizen. He could literally be ANYWHERE 🌍 right now! ICE claims they cancelled his green card, something no judge has ruled on yet. Columbia colluded w/ ICE to make this happen.

The only people who don't like the concept of a women only gym are the people who created the need for women only gyms.

We're tired of outsiders telling us what's best for Boston.

I don't want to spring forward or fall back, I want to be yeeted into the sun

Men will destroy the country and then have the audacity to ask some shit like "why don't they want to make babies?"

Good. I hope other countries bully tf out of us until elected officials get so much backlash that they aren't re-elected or supported anymore. At this point, anyone who voted for Trump isn't going to wake up until it harms their lives (not that chocolate is one of the huge concerns rn).

I hope readers who are getting rid of their Sophie Lark books are holding the same energy for Sarah J Maas, Colleen Hoover, Piper CJ, Rebecca Yarros, Alex Aster, and other authors who have shown their true colors over the years.

"This is the third time that I've had a vote on this bill. The other two times have failed because we have had almost zero Democrats help to support women and girls in sports." Support for "women and girls"????? Fuck off. Stop attacking transgender Americans under this false narrative.

And another thing (this week has had me so heated istg) Sophie Lark is not a victim of her choices. That’s just called facing consequences. If you choose to keep reading her books, all that tells me is that racism is not a dealbreaker for you.

Promoting Oathbound with displays and signs, etc. should have been a no brainer. It’s one of the biggest releases of the year and a guaranteed bestseller. Black authors are already so underrepresented and under supported in the publishing space. Book retailers/publishers - do better. #booksky

Moore: Telling people who have worn the uniform of this country, who have been willing to pay the highest price to be called American—and now looking at the service.. and saying that maybe they’re not fit to serve—hearing that come from somebody who was never willing to take that oath is very rich..

Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Thursday spoke on the U.S. Senate floor to break down the corruption of the Trump administration's first six weeks in office. To me, this looks like is a presentation for a clear path to impeachment.

"Does anyone care about Nebraska?" I don't know, does Nebraska even care about Nebraska? Does Nebraska care about other states? Most of you didn't give a shit about the rest of this country or yourselves when you submitted your ballot. I'm out of empathy and sympathy.

Yearly reminder that if you love fantasy but haven't read The Legendborn Cycle by Tracy Deonn, you're missing out. Oathbound released this week and I'm on a TikTok break because I don't trust the booktok community not to spoil it.

The thing is lots of disabled ppl WOULD love to be working…if they were just afforded the space to work on their health/disability without the constant anxiety of the DWP taking away the minuscule breathing space benefits affords them to actually DO so.

2025 book releases I need a social media blackout for: -Oathbound -Sunrise on the Reaping -Wild ​Reverence ARCs I read and refuse to spoil, but will hype up: -Alchemised -The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy -Katabasis -Hazelthorn -A Theory in Dreaming -The Knight and the Moth -The Devils

Every month, at least one person tells me they finally read Blood Over Brighthaven, and I have to relive the emotions that story made me feel. 5/5 stars.

Pink shirts and signs? Are you fucking kidding me? Protest is for the PEOPLE to make our voices heard by our government. YOU are the government. That was a bunch of elected people talking at each other but doing absolutely nothing to stop what is happening. Do your jobs.

Social Security is a contract that every worker in this country has signed with every paycheck. With every paycheck, we contribute to the fund that we were promised would help support us in our senior years. Congress has a responsibility to working people. 🧵 www.npr.org/2025/03/06/n...

1. Trump declares tariffs that tank the stock market. 2. Trump and Musk buy cheaper stocks. 3. Trump rescinds tariffs, reviving the stock market. 4. Trump and Musk sell more expensive stocks.

Ura meowed at me for 20 minutes, and it turns out he just wanted to cuddle.

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

Iowa will run all its docs and nurses out of the state like ob/gyns ran out of Idaho.

Trudeau: "We're probably gonna keep booing the American anthem. But let me tell Americans: we're not booing you ... we're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us. And we're insulted ... we're gonna fight. And we're gonna win."

It’s a great day to call your reps! 📲

There's no energy emergency 🙃 he's going to destroy national parks for resources.

Felt like this needed to be shared. Arc readers who withhold reviews aren't doing the reading community any favors. You may think it helps the author but there's something weird about books with only 5 star ratings on release date.

A country that can fund multiple genocides is absolutely a country that will bring genocide back home. After all, that’s how the country formed in the first place.

Yes, and also read the alt text 😂

The general vibe for American life as a bookworm right now… #booksky

Nobody: Middle aged men for some reason: "Your name is Nick? Is that short for something?" "You should add the I at the end and make it Nikki." "Isn't that usually a boys name?" "You should go by Nicole, it's prettier."

Racists became way more comfortable this year. One of my first customers of the day responded, "I have a membership with the klu klux klan." When I asked if he had a membership with us. 😠😡

I have an ARC for Katabasis. Are you freaking kidding me? I'm sobbing in a puddle on the floor as I type this.

One of my most efficient coping mechanisms on a bad day is opening Edelweiss to search for a new arc to read and review. The world is in shambles and I'm living in chronic pain daily, but I have access to my most anticipated books of 2025.

Screaming, crying, throwing up, kicking my feet. ARC requests are available! 💓

Pedro Pascal on transgender rights. 🏳️‍⚧️ 💗

So that we're clear about this, the Trump administration is not only doing nothing to deport human traffickers, it has literally gone of out its way to IMPORT human traffickers.

"I didn't vote for this." Yes, you did. What the fuck? You should've Googled it BEFORE you voted. You should've listened to what he was telling the American people as far back as 2016, not just his false promises, because he is doing everything he has always told us he wants to do right now.
