No amount of anger is hyperbolic here.

Everyone makes fun of the incel "government redistribution of girlfriends" proposal but the state did in fact force women to marry mediocre men by not letting them have a bank account or own property in their name and they don't have to take us that many steps backwards to get there.

I try not to dunk-post, but the bloody-toothed retaliatory border violence being thrown around here freaks me out.

Easier denaturalization is badβ€”that is the line. It is bad. This is not because I am too nice or whatever, but because I've thought about the impact for more than two minutes.

In the doctor’s office I was trying to find out if it was too late for me to bring a child into the world at this point in my life and I guess it technically isn’t via what happened when the cum doctor looked at my cum under the microscope and said it’s perfectly normal cum but I don’t know if this is the type of world or country I can feasibly wrench a soul out of the void and drag them into. Sometimes I feel bad if I invite someone to like a party or a show and they don't end up having a good time so I can’t imagine what it feels like to do that to someone only it’s everything they ever have to do and experience in their entire life however long it might last. Sorry! Hope you had a nice time.

My own personal thinking on having children or not.

I don’t know if this is the type of world or country I can feasibly wrench a soul out of the void and drag them into.

The arrest rate among CBP agents is higher than the arrest rate among undocumented immigrants.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Zionism was never a single concept. We should be grateful to JFNA’s survey for the reminder. - Jewish Telegraphic Agency A Jew can believe in a Jewish, democratic state and still doubt whether contemporary Zionism advances both of those commitments, writes a scholar of European Jewish intellectual history.

I wrote about what it tells us that Martin Buber, a proud Zionist during his life, would probably be considered an anti-Zionist by the standards of what the word means today. www.jta.org/2026/02/09/i...

Most American Jews aren’t β€˜Zionist’ β€” so what are they? A survey found that even many Jews who don't identify as Zionists are still attached to Israel but also accuse it of apartheid and genocide.

"Nearly half of the Jews who don’t identify as either Zionist or anti-Zionist β€” representing 56% of the total population β€” think that Israel committed genocide against the Palestinians and that the country is an apartheid state." forward.com/news/antisem...

Fuentes then fantasizes about β€œbreeding gulags”: β€œSo just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women… They go to the breeding gulags. The good ones will be liberated. The bad ones will toil in the mines forever.”

Nick Fuentes: β€œThe number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

Fuentes, yesterday: β€œOur #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

And please thank lawyers doing this work. We’re carrying a lot of trauma for voiceless clients. We are tired. We have become experts in new law under the most dire circumstances.

If you can, donate to immigration defense funds. They’ve been at it the longest and have the least resources.

Legal status doesn’t matter: if you exceed ICE’s melanin threshold, you get snatched. It is ethnic cleansing. There is no other word for it.

The news has shown you video of these often violent detentions. What you don’t see is what happens to these individuals after.

I’ve had a front row seat.

I am however cackling about how Ramin and Barbour really and truly do keep passing the same roles between them. Barbour shouldn’t ever be employed in theatre again but this is the darkest timeline so in 6 months he’ll somehow play Gleb in Anastasia.

Jane Eyre in Concert Β· Lincoln Center Manhattan Concert Productions’ Broadway Series returns with a one night only concert performance of Jane Eyre, the sweeping musical based on…

Listen. Listen. The fact that I am finding out about this production mere days before it happens is an indictment of every level of their marketing team. I am the exact and precise target audience for this. I am one of 20 people total who remembers this show.

People had family members back in Europe writing to tell them about how things were getting worse but the borders of almost every country on earth were closed to Jews. The US government knew about the camps but didn’t consider them a priority.

Just to note, people definitely knew about the atrocities because boats full of Jewish immigrants were coming to their ports to flee the atrocities and they were turning them away, leaving them to die in camps of The Atrocities. It wasn’t a secret.

The fact that both are quite experiencedβ€”8 years and 12 years with CBPβ€”is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.
