I’m immensely proud of B’s book on ADHD. I’m reading the chapter now on social systems and my heart is breaking for Darius.
This book will change things. And man, do things need to change.

It seems that today is another day where I have to remind people that if you want to be on the right side of history, you don't want anyone to be sent to a foreign gulag to be tortured and raped.
ANYONE.
ANYONE.

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

Nepo babies don't write books. They get jobs in publishing because they are the only ones who can afford to live in big cities while being an intern.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.
📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.
Prosecute her and everyone involved.

It’s really interesting to see which government officials and members of Congress are comfortable publicly writing on social media that they’re fine with service members carrying out unlawful orders and abandoning The Constitution. Someone should start a list.

They’re just brewing up a revolution.
Electric bills are up 11% this year, and shutoffs are spiking across the country.
At the same time, corporations are building hundreds of energy-hungry data centers, and working families are being forced to absorb the cost. Higher bills for us, higher profits for them. seiu.co/3M71usW

More Americans are getting their power shut off, as unpaid bills pile up
Average electricity costs have risen 11 percent since January, more than three times the rate of inflation.

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

Nathaniel Hawthorne added the “w” to his family name because he was ashamed of his great-great-grandfather, a judge in the Salem witch trials.
it is interesting, all family trees have that one ancestor they're really ashamed of, and now we're seeing the making of those ancestors in realtime. three, four, five generations down the road these will be the people everyone wishes they didn't have blood-ties to and skims over their lives.
DOJ is now recruiting for immigration judges by calling them “deportation judges.”
That’s seems really bad.
