These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

The reaction from the right once again shows that like all cringy edgelords, they simply cannot handle the consequences of their own behavior. Stop voting for shit and then complaining when shit happens to you personally.

Lol these jackasses imagining "power" in a label describing the beliefs and behavior of villains and scum. "Nazi" is not a natural state, it is a coward's world view, the thoughts and actions of no-accountability losers who blame their failures and shortcomings on anyone but their own sorry selves.

I'll be quite honest, as an older millennial I have no idea how to raise my children in this day and age. I've had several (hopefully age appropriate???) conversations with them about what's going on, and subsequently they've invented a game I can only describe as "That's What Happens To N*zis!"

I truly and sincerely hope that every single ICE goon is unmasked, photographed, and named, so they can be shunned by family and former friends, spat on by strangers, refused service by businesses, and denied entry at every threshold for the rest of their miserable lives.

The ICE camps are concentration camps. They should be called concentration camps. It is, of course, important to distinguish between concentration camps and death camps, but also, I am not sure we will know when or if we undergo the transition from concentration camps into death camps.

It's awkward going, "Hey, I fell off the face of the earth but I have a book coming out tomorrow if you're interested" but... Hey, I have a book coming out tomorrow. It's a MG fantasy inspired by 1001 Nights with a Blasian heroine. Might be fun? Might distract from the horrors?

Asked my 5th grader for permission to volunteer with his class. He granted it, as long as I 1) didn't talk to him too much 2) didn't tell anyone he was my kid 3) did not so much as imagine uttering the word "rizz" As such I carefully but casually avoided eye contact with my child for the duration.

I loved this one, such a great book. Myth in a modern setting (which is my jam), a trash golem, deeply satisfying linguistical plot points for word nerds, and a battle of good versus evil.
