"Evidence of mass illness is everywhere: workplace outbreaks, long-term sickness, cognitive issues, kids constantly sick.
This isn’t just propaganda, it’s denial by choice.
The reality is that people aren’t just misled, they want to believe it’s over.
Denial is embraced."

Laura Loomer comments on Twitter: "Alligator lives matter. The good news is, alligators are guaranteed at least 65 million meals if we get started now."
Someone with the Bluesky handle "El Norte Recuerda" comments, "The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us."
Laura Loomer is an advisor to Trump, and she's quite clear that what's going on is not "deporting criminal aliens" but the ethnic cleansing of all 65 million Latinos in the US. In fact she's pretty clear she wants this to be the genocide of the US Latino […]

Pictured are the spines of the three books in the Vita Nostra trilogy in English translations: Vita Nostra, Assassin of Reality, and School of Shards.
At last! I wish the third volume had received the hardcover treatment so that each book in the trilogy matched, but at least they're all available in translation now. #VitaNostra #MarinaDyachenko #SergeyDyachenko #DarkAcademia #SFF #Ukraine #books #bookstodon
