Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

many of the prominent transphobes (& some MPs) went to bat for this one after she received a police visit in 2022. they wrote articles defending her and sent her supportive messages. they won't bother speaking up now, though

Der Deutsche Presserat hat Ende März die Bild mit der öffentlichen Rüge abgestraft: Bezogen auf Bürgergeld sei die Berichterstattung „massiv irreführend“& habe für die Betroffenen einen „stigmatisierenden Effekt“. danke an @martinruecker.bsky.social von @uebermedien.de www.freitag.de/autoren/hele...

It’s worth noting that JK Rowling is not only funding meritless legal challenges against trans people until they can appeal up to the court that will back them, she openly gloats about how this is where her money is going. This is what the Harry Potter TV show is bankrolling.

The thing about these guys being more outrageous with their allegiance to fascism is that you can’t really give them the benefit of doubt. The Trojan Horse of Nazis using game culture isn’t a whisper, it’s being yelled. Ignoring it because you like an IP is what they thrive on, maybe skip this one.

If you're worried about people remembering every embarrassing thing you did, think about it. Can you remember other people's embarrassing moments? No. That's because you're the only one who's ever done something embarrassing. What the fuck is wrong with you lmao

one of the more blatant, in your face fascistic moments trumps 2nd term has had yet, and that’s saying something. they are telling us they love that they are openly doing crimes against humanity. if the world doesn’t prosecute every single person involved in this, it will be a failure of humanity

Not only is that not what we're laughing at and not what I said, but I need people to understand that the media smears against me are intentional and this is what they do to anyone who challenges power and these systems.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

More than 50,000 people in Gaza are dead. 114,000 have been wounded — two-thirds of whom are women & children. The entire infrastructure has been destroyed. Much of that devastation has been done with bombs that the U.S. supplied to the Netanyahu war machine. We are complicit.

I'm sorry, but isn't this just the Cultural Revolution 2.0? Why on earth would fired aid workers and NIH medical researchers go to work on assembly lines for worse salaries in jobs they don't know how to do? Why are they getting their economic policy from Mao?

Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head. He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison. Bring them back!

Surprised that there's been scant commentary on the fact that there's no way the current customs and collection workforce can possibly understand and implement these tariffs in 5 days without causing an enormous backlog at the ports. Hope you liked supply shortages

Das EU-Parlament verschiebt die EU-Lieferketten- und Nachhaltigkeitsrichtlinie um bis zu zwei Jahre. Begründet wird dies mit Bürokratieabbau, dabei sind viele Unternehmen längst vorbereitet. Die Bundesregierung darf das deutsche Lieferkettengesetz nicht aussetzen: Menschenrechte sind unverhandelbar!

Not sure what's worse, the reporter asking a softball "do you want to weigh in on that" [Signalgate] or the reporter immediately moving onto another topic when Trump demands, like a little baby, that she doesn't "bring that up again". Our media is failing us. Again. zeteo.com/subscribe

"In the eyes of this administration, immigrants who are undocumented are all “illegal immigrants” and these “illegal immigrants”, ergo, are all “criminals”. But, on so many levels, it’s just not true. It’s a popular myth pushed by the right that needs urgent debunking."

Don't let up on Signalgate. The Mueller report cited rampant use of Signal as a means of obstruction of justice. The entire discussion is fait accompli. Also guarantee it is how everyone inside this thug WH communicates. Which means the law is being knowingly & deliberately violated every day.

it worries me when the narrative about trump is that “it’s dumbasses that don’t know what they’re doing”. they know exactly what they’re doing. peter thiel is a close ally of trump and owns JD vance. peter thiel is a believer in curtis yarvin thought, which is 100% in line with what’s happening

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action. She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound. This is what bans do.
