China Wields Security Laws to Cow Hong Kong’s Once-Free Literary Scene
Hong Kong once published books on topics such as the Tiananmen crackdown. But new arrests show Beijing intends to bring the city’s booksellers and publishers to heel.

the situation in venezuela is infinitely complex. we venezuelans have been stuck with this regime for decades, our biographies have all been irreversibly changed (and in many cases fucked over) by it, no other nation has as many expats as we do proportional to the total population--for good reason.

i won't say much on this since it's an emotional topic for me, but i'd like to encourage folks--especially europeans and americans due to the shared media landscape--to listen and talk to venezuelans while forming your opinion if in any way possible.

It’s not mean or unkind to live in reality. Lament the state of our political discourse, but don’t give our reality-based truths away to someone’s misfortune or tragedy. Does anyone deserve to get shot for being cruel? Not necessarily. But being a cruel person who gets shot doesn’t make you good.

ALSO, he’s not a politician. He has been elected to no office. He worked some campaigns in college then dropped out to become a full time political violence agitator. Does he “deserve” to be shot? Who cares! He got shot. And it’s not wrong to keep in mind that, had it been you, he would not care.

And FTR, whether or not you believe he “deserved” to get shot (few victims of gun violence “deserve” it), these are his words: "I think it's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.”

Whether or not you support political violence won’t change where we’ve come to, nor where we’ve been for some time in this country. I am quite taken aback by how many people only invoke the term ‘political violence’ when it happens to a person with power. It’s political violence the other way too.

If you unironically believe that making schools function more like prisons is a good thing, please unfollow me. I can’t believe any self-styled progressive in 2025 is arguing for a total phone ban for kids during the only period of time when they aren’t being monitored by their parents.

My biggest disappointment about Kamala not clearly breaking with the genocide is how much it was not reading the room. The palestinian friends had suffered with loved ones bombarded, starved, killed for a year. They weren't debating, they were crying in grief and terror.

I don't by any means think this reflects on her personally, but I think it's *extremely* telling that she doesn't want to see a single person saying this...and turned off the replies, which was certainly the only way to ensure that.

This doesn't make any of us safe. This doesn't help any of us. My heart breaks every single day when I see what is happening in Gaza. I feel helpless. I know many of you do too. But when people enact violence in our name, it makes everyone less safe and it makes peace less likely.

Antisemitism breeds extremism, cruelty, and conspiracy theories. Equating Jewish people with Israel's far-right government inevitably leads to antisemitism. It leads to innocent people getting hurt, more Jewish organizations being targeted, *and* Netanyahu using fear to gain more control.

I don't want to see a single person saying this was warranted by the carnage in Gaza, that this was for Palestinians. I am a Palestinian person and I do not want senseless acts of terror committed in my name. I don't want Jewish organizations to need extra security because of fear of violence.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

Some people think they've broken the code: They took each country's 2024 trade deficit divided by US imports and then divided that by 2. (with min 10%, even with surplus) I checked a few, and it works!

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

I agree “liberal isn’t a slur and that’s too strong a word to describe it, but I also think that using “liberal” to refer to basically everything politically bad just confuses the hell out of + helps alienate a lot of useful normie Democrats who could be brought around on leftist ideas.

If you use the term "liberal" as a personal or ideological slur it might make you seem in and cool to your lefty mutuals but it is destructive to any broader coalition building that might help the left flank build political power so really it's all about what your goals are
