Unemployed college student Barron Trump made $150m in one year. When asked about it Trump said "It's none of your business". Republicans: Silent. When Hunter Biden sold $40k worth of paintings, Republicans shrieked, investigated, held hearings and said Joe Biden should be impeached over this.

Authors Against Book Bans @authorsabb.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Slide 5: Authors and librarians need YOU. Even just one person speaking up in support of a book or an author can sway opinion at a school board meeting. Book banners win when the rest of us are silent. Don't stay silent. This Banned Books Week, make plans to call your reps, keep track of book-banning attempts in your community, and research the candidates for your local school board elections. Together, we can make a difference.

Before we were Federally Married, even though we were married in MA (a Stare we didn't live in), we had to pay 4 TIMES the tax of federally married couples.. We also had to hire an accountant bc NO ONE could figure it out. So unless your Religious Liberties extend to tax rules, you can get fucked.

If the lessons Democrats (& democrats) draw from DOGE is “right idea, wrong implementation,” we are doomed. Everyone involved in the unprecedented crime that was DOGE needs to go to jail forever, & Democrats need to rebuild all of the programs & agencies first, not do digital management consulting 🤦‍♂️

Political winds do not only flow from voters to politicians, they go in reverse as well. Democrats running ads like these signal to the general public and their voter base that this issue now has support by both parties, and that hating trans people is publicly acceptable. They do harm to us.

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer):  You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.
