you don’t give an inch. when they come for “illegals” and justify it by saying only the violent ones, you don’t give an inch. they can’t come for anyone. when they come for autistic ppl and justify it by saying only the most dependent ones, you don’t give an inch. they can’t come for anyone.

the new info coming out of the 4chan hack doesn't surprise me tbh. of course nazis are going to night of the long knives each other eventually. all that does is save us a lot of work. they're self-cannibalizing amoeba, that's why they'll always lose

Harry Potter is of a trend of media that is specifically popular for what it lacks. The characterization, narration, and Worldbuilding are vague and leave a lot to the imagination. Which means imaginative readers—children mainly—can fill in the gaps, and get defensive and clannish when others don’t.

You know who else is afraid? Immigrants, queer people, parents of queer kids, people who rely on mental health meds, small business owners, people with latinx surnames, people who need abortions, people who need other prenatal care, and many others who don’t have Capitol police to protect them.

One low key problem with almost all these superhero movies is they either cannot bring themselves to move very far past an origin story or they want to jump to the reward before they introduce the stakes.

Yeah part of why this is bad is that the guy in charge thinks the world is doomed but he has a track record of ridiculous inaccurate predictions but he also doesn’t care about the effects of doom on normal people as long as he can live in the bunker from the end of Under the Silver Lake

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

“You can still enjoy Harry Potter as long as you’re not financially supporting Rowling, like fanfiction and discussion boards.” Disagreed, stop using any of your energy to direct attention to Harry Potter in any form. Do anything else with your time.

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 most appalling part of this political era is the physical harm they are inflicting on innocent people but secondary to that i find the constant smug lectures from this country's biggest collection of hypocrites, scammers, perverts, pedophiles, and overall bozos very distasteful

Also, I may be way off on this, because I am definitely not a lawyer, but is being a member of a gang actually a crime? Isn’t freedom of association meant to be guaranteed by the First Amendment?

When Trayvon wore a Howie and people in the media acted like it was legitimate to treat it like gang apparel, the stage was set for this. Tattoos now equal gang affiliation, if worn by the "wrong person." Because the media/*good intentioned people thought it reasonable.

It's wild how once people start repeating trans arguments, it seeps into their thinking and they make hating trans people their whole identity and reason for being. It poisons everything because making bioessentialist determinations about other people is incredibly fascist.

Absolutely right. Nobody should be supporting JK Rowling, who is now taking an active role in the UK government and spearheading the systemic torment of the very kids who once would have loved her books. Shameful.

"Sneaky tactic" is part of the same brain rot as Beltway analysis that begins with, "Well, it's morally vile and statutorily plainly illegal, but we'll only apply those labels after the fact if it doesn't work. If it does, it becomes simply bold or clever."

Some would say "sneaky tactic" others would observe that odometer fraud is a federal felony. A creative prosecutor could probably tack on some conspiracy and mail or wire fraud charges too.

jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl. yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’. no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.

I'm really confused as to why people in 2025 are still claiming the G. Greenwald was a leftist???? He was a libertarian who at first supported the Iraq war. Later he hated drones but only when Obama was using them. I don't understand the revisionist history here.
