He is describing a dictatorship. One key difference between the US and Hungary has to do with that first bunch of Constitutional amendments.

I believe!

A statement from the Kennedy Center

The only immigrant trying to destroy the country.

This is so good.

A reminder that fiction — books, film, games, what have you — is always political. The willful absence of “politics” in any work is itself a political choice and a political act. Who gets to tell (and sell) stories is political. It might be an undercurrent — covert, not overt. But it’s there.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

As Trump and Musk gut USAID today, I think back to my first day ever working for the US gov, showing up at the Reagan Building to start at USAID. Shame on them for demonizing Americans who are serving our nation, often in difficult and dangerous places. THREAD

It's not just a coup.

It's a coup being executed by white supremacists and Christofascists.

And Darren Beattie isn't merely some new minor functionary—he's been given what's considered one of the ten most powerful jobs at Foggy Bottom.

He wants us to abandon Ukraine to Russia and Taiwan to China.

Email to the Trump DEI snitch line complaining that Trump and Vance and people are illegal federal hires because they got their jobs solely because of their race and gender.

I don’t care. Fuck these McCarthyite bastards.

When Elon Musk addresses the German neo-Nazi party and tells them that "multiculturalism dilutes everything," people know he's talking about pure Aryan blood, right?

I could write a 100 post long thread about everything I gained from TT. The ADHD community helping me figure out life, the journalists on the ground reporting on events in far away countries, the passionate creators encouraging me to learn new subjects that I never though I'd find interest in 1/2

I used to love reading dystopian fiction in high school.

Reaaaaally not enjoying living through dystopian reality as an adult.

Superman poster from 1950s. He is talking to school kids saying ...AND REMEMBER, BOYS AND GIRLS, YOUR SCHOOL - LIKE OUR COUNTRY-IS MADE UP OF AMERICANS OF MANY DIFFERENT RACES. RELIGIONS AND NATIONAL ORIGINS. 50... ..if YOU hear anybody talk against a schoolmate or anyone else because of his religion, race or national origin-don't wait: tell him THAT KIND OF TALK IS UN-AMERICAN.

Hey America. Just saying.

And there it is. Scam and grift revealed. Watch who gets rich off this. Interested also to see how legacy media covers this, which has been putrid so far.

Claiming audiobooks "don't count" is ableist and stupid. Consume your content in the fashion most enjoyable and convenient. #booksky

I never ended up joining TikTok but I remain incredibly grateful to booktok and all the people who spoke about my books there. It meant the world to me during some very difficult years. Sending much love and so many thanks to all the passionate readers, now and always.

Just remember that before they enacted reform within the justice system, increased the minimum wage, made groceries, college tuition or life saving medications affordable… they chose to ban tiktok.

Hello world. This is my first post on Blue Sky and I want to break the ice somehow. I’ll start off easy by sharing pet pictures.

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”

Happy birthday to Sandra! I didn’t realize you two also share a birthday month!
