One year ago, Mahmoud Khalil was taken by ICE. He is now out.

Around the same time, Leqaa Kordia was taken and is still in ICE detention.

Her apparent crime is using America's First Amendment rights to protest for peace.

She is the last Columbia student still in detention, and Khalil wrote to her

Like fundamentally Hasbro is making a business decision that Harry Potter fans will love the IP and not be bothered by the anti-trans stuff.

I get it. I don't love it but I get it.

American businesses in 2026 are often immoral.

But to make them stop you have to stop consuming her shit.

I can't speak for anyone else, but knowing she was a transphobe made me not want to support her continued work. But learning the degree to which she was funding anti-trans lobbying made me not want to engaged with her past works too.

There's also the fact that Rowling has been fairly explicit that the money she earns through Harry Potter she's putting into anti-trans lobbying efforts.

There's a difference, IMHO, between an artist with a shitty private life, and an artist using their money to fund regressive social change.

What do you want to bet this little tantrum on the WaPo's opinion page is because someone ahead of Professor Jakub Grygiel in the queue at some coffee shop had an elaborate coffee order and he hasn't been able to let it go ever since

“You know the ones” in legal deposition form.

“Wow he blocked me because he can’t take criticism” that’s correct. This is social media. You’re just some asshole. I am under no obligation to listen to you tell me what to do. Have a blessed day

NO NO NO YOU DON’T

GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA

federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL

tell everyone you know

every car on the train should be the quiet car until people (grown adults!) learn how to act

maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58

was that person's post ableist or were they just not talking to you? do you need to explain your dietary habits and restrictions in the comments of a recipe post or were they just not talking to you? does anyone need to know why you can't read dark romance or are you just not the target audience?

I have little patience for learned helplessness and absolution-seeking. Our founding document opens with "We The People."

Either we, the collective citizenry, have power or we don't. This ain't Schrodinger's democracy.

We have power. It's incumbent upon us all to seize it.

Many hands=light work!

We used to make things in this country (meth).

Also, isn't *every* Pixar movie basically therapy?

March 8 on the calendar where it is printed: "International Women's Day" and "daylight saving time begins (clocks forward)

Thank you for having International Women's Day on the shortest day of the year

Anyway I mentioned this trend of people rejecting third person years ago on Twitter. It pissed a lot of people off. But you’re not going to convince me that it isn’t a sign of rhe apocalypse.

I simply cannot deal with most first person genre books. I’m on the record with that. And god forbid they do that alternating first person thing. No.

When people got mad at that girl on Twitter for being happy she was having breakfast with her husband

The South ending Reconstruction and plunging their populations into a backward looking culture and economy until it was forced to modernize by the Civil Rights movement is imo a very clean parallel.

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

If you want to stop Newsom, build up his negatives with Black voters *now.* Emphasize how he keeps hanging out with racists and inviting them to talk on his show. Ask how Black people have fared in his California and how he’s responded to racism against us. What was he doing in 2014? 2016? 2020?

So much online conservatism these days is just "I miss being a kid"

Maher is an Islamophobe of the highest order. The fact that he has not been run out of town is a measure of how unseriously Islamophobia is treated in this country.

This is quite literally the job of a political campaign! bsky.app/profile/atom...
