These 86 Democrats. That also spent their careers enabling the fascism we see now on behalf of the concentrated capital interests they serve instead of the constituents that elected them.

Fix the City, a super PAC funded by corporations valued at hundreds of billions of dollars, wants you to work for free to help a guy who loathes New York City to become Mayor.
Who do you think he'd be working for, the unknown volunteer, or the billion dollar corporations?

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 next step for Trump is to send a US citizen convicted of something like child murder and rape to CECOT in El Salvador. It'll set the precedent to send citizens there while neutralizing outrage over it because of the heinous nature of their crimes. Then it'll any felony and then protestors.

Finished Words of Radiance today. Wasn’t sure about starting this series since most rec’s were for the Mistborn series and the length of every book so far is 1k+ pages BUT I found the first three in my local used bookstore. So far extremely happy with the decision to send it.
