Ana on the Edge is about a 12 year old ice skater navigating being nonbinary in a gendered sport. The fact that it's considered controversial enough to reprimand and put a teacher on leave over simply having it in her classroom library is incomprehensible to me.

Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t reinstated because Disney executives had a change of heart. He’s back on air because those executives got a wakeup call from the American public. People all over the country showed up, canceling subscriptions, and protesting outside ABC and Disney, Nexstar, and more. 🧵
No wannabe king can match the power we wield when millions of us take action together.

Censorship is here and it’s come in the form of corporations censoring themselves in order to win favor with the regime.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

First, Donald Trump used the Marines and the National Guard to support his mass deportation agenda in Los Angeles.
Now, he's using similar tactics in D.C. like a tinpot dictator.
Don't look away. Don't stay silent. If you do, don't be surprised if it's your city next.

Housework is a scam. You finish one round of chores, then you have to start the next, meanwhile your cat vomits again. 😵💫

A classic coordination failure: everyone makes excuses for why they go along with authoritarianism rather than resisting. And democracy and the rule of law crumble. We thought our institutions and culture were stronger, but we are following Hungary's path.
Former US ambassador to Hungary: "After years watching Hungary suffocate under the weight of its democratic collapse, I came to understand that the real danger of a strongman isn’t his tactics; it’s how others, especially those with power, justify their acquiescence." (h/t @bnovak.bsky.social)
