what do we do about the fact that every publisher is publishing conservative “celebrity” slop. those are the publishers whose books we are arguing over buying at indies vs amazon. i refuse to buy books at amazon! but publishing itself is also a problem!
The front page of the Hachette Book Group's website urges visitors to "join the fight against censorship" by buying banned children's books that feature LGBTQ characters. This fall, Hachette will publish a book by Sam Alito, who just wrote a Supreme Court opinion making it easier to ban these books.
Sam Alito’s Publisher Wants You to Buy the Children’s Books He Just Made It Easier to Ban
The author of Mahmoud v. Taylor is writing a book for a publisher that calls the push to ban books with LGBTQ characters an attack on “one of the most important foundations of a free society.”

I understand folks are scared but I want you to think about the mechanics of this.
There are more polling places (>100k) than ICE and CBP agents combined, so they can only pick a few districts to try to intimidate.

The thing a lot of people are missing in all the billionaire discourse is subtle but important. I see a lot of “wouldn’t they rather have 500 million dollars and no calls for guillotines,” or “how do they expect to stay rich when no one has money for their products.” It’s not money, it’s power.

There's a weird amount of Newsom glazing that comes from people who are unfamiliar with California politics and I can assure you that a hypothetical President Newsom would be the American Keir Starmer
Gavin Newsom is enough of a charmless dolt without the righteous hatred in his heart that he doesn't have much hope of surviving a primary. He'll eat shit in a debate with some mealy-mouthed bullshit that misreads the public hatred of the right and that's how we get someone better.

A creator I support on Patreon shared a Harry Potter fandom thing as part of a roundup, and I messaged her my disappointment. Her response was “Wow, I really hear your hurt and it’s clear you think deeply about this. I’m sorry I can’t engage further on this topic, this space is about crafting”

Insane this is framed as argument over languages they hold Mass in. The group in question has opposed democracy and is antisemitic. The rejection of Vatican 2 is almost always about rejecting the Church's declaration of religious coexistence & that not all Jews can be blamed for the death of Jesus.

I'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.
You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity
