This happened during the Nazi regime in Germany, too -- people using the situation to steal from neighbors and family. Truly evil.

I left there over a year ago. Spent too much time blocking nazis and other bigots and too little actually reading content.

Merry Christmas to all.

also once you find out that even MORMON access to whiteness is conditional and has been REVOKED in the past, you will start to understand what's happening right now

Exactly this

Trump says he’s designating Antifa as a terrorist organization | CNN Politics President Donald Trump said he is designating the far-left anti-fascism movement Antifa as a terrorist organization, announcing the move on his Truth Social platform in the early hours of Thursday mor...

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”.

They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left.

This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up.

Writer Beware Shining a small, bright light in a wilderness of writing scams

Let me be blunt, newbies: Nobody who works with a "big name" like me would be hitting up self-published authors in a completely different genre. That smell? It's bullshit.

And if you aren't already, follow SFWA's Writer Beware blog and learn to smell it from a mile away. writerbeware.blog

Saying this again: there is a scammer out there targeting newbie authors, claiming I'm one of their clients. They use different names, and I'm already pursuing legal action. But I have never worked with a PR company, editing service, or book packager, so anybody saying so is lying, period full stop.

One easy way to support a banned book: Tell the world you're reading it! If you share on social media include a link to somewhere people can get it. Word of mouth is a powerful way to draw attention to books & that takes readers like you shouting about the books you love!

I'm sure that's factored in to the plans of the billionaires who are behind the Heritage Foundation and its Christofascist agenda. Likely part of why Vance has been on a vacation trip once a month.

They set it up for the next generation of dictators. With his obvious dementia and bad health, how can anyone expect him to be around long enough to enact all the heinous crud in the Heritage Foundation manifestos? Vance is going to be a placeholder for the next one, likely Thiel.

The key word here being “idiot.”

I said 'help the homeless' not 'criminalize homelessness' you absolute goblins.

At some point (nonBlack) people need to accept that this is the only thing cops have ever done in this country and move accordingly (abolish them)

From @juddlegum.bsky.social : “Hegseth is a member of a church that is part of Wilson's network, the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), in Tennessee.”

Wild that the Sunday shows ignored Hegseth promoting stripping the right to vote from Women.

One interesting thing about Trump randomly imposing tariffs on every country on earth for any reason or no reason is that it is illegal

He is given too much credit. He's not that smart. He's the point of the spear. The Christofascists in the Heritage Foundation are holding the spear. Bill Gothard and the Koch Brothers had more to do with taking over the GOP than felon47.

He wasn't shot. He didn't win. He's on the list.

Release the Epstein list. Otherwise, the GOP is a cult of corrupt fascists Guarding Old Pedos.

I just ordered the paperback. Thanks for putting this here, as I would have missed it otherwise.

Once they start spending that huge increase in funding, I'm sure the gestapo will find enough sadists and bullies to give SM a raging boner. Some agents had a conscience. Next group won't.

If you know you will be punished, that means your parents are going to make it worse. You may trust them in some areas and not in others. And the ones where you don't and think you can handle it may be the very ones where you can't and need their help to avoid harm to yourself or others.

I recall several times where I went along with what my friends were doing and I knew I'd get in trouble from my parents if they found out all the details. They'd punish me if they knew, so I kept those secrets. Not about trust. /2

Relationships between parents and teenagers are rarely as simple as trust equals they tell me everything. Peer pressure or adult predators can lead kids into dangerous situations that they lack the skills to see as dangerous or get out of without harm. /1
