I don’t understand why so many of you seem to think that the Trump administration is either made up of clowns OR genuinely evil people

Didn’t “It” teach you those aren’t mutually exclusive

It's frustrating that people are only now expressing shock at Chomsky when his Bosnian genocide denial has been public knowledge for years. This excerpt is from an article I wrote last year.

I might have had all my pitches rejected so far this year, but I had one follower tell me that he found my writing accessible, and another friend said he feels like I'm in the room with him when he reads my work. So I'll end this week on a high note.

These people are sick.
Kindergarten teacher called a prank ICE hotline thinking it was real. She called to report her 6 year old student to ICE to try to get them and their family deported.

6 years old.

She does not enjoy hearing her own words and actions played back to her.

For those still trying to claim that Chomsky stood up for the oppressed, I’d like to remind everyone that the Wikipedia pages for “Cambodian genocide denial” and “Bosnian genocide denial” include entire sections devoted to Chomsky’s commentary and genocide denialism.

This video was taken during my keynote talk on Jack Chick and the Satanic Panic at Boston College. I concluded with my personal reasons for wanting to study it in the first place. With the latest release of the Epstein files, I felt it was appropriate to share. Alt. text in the following posts

Renée Goode and Alex Pretti likely had rules they lived by. They are both dead.

Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche probably had rules, too, and he's dead.

Still, I reflect on what he said to the woman rendering him aid as he bled out:

“Tell everyone on this train I love them.”

As a white leftist some might see my hot take as the pot calling the kettle black. With that being said I think a lot of white leftists with a large following think they’re the guy on the left when in reality they’re more like the guy on the right.

We can build beautiful things in the darkest times. I’ve seen this all over the world, in Kurdistan and the Darién Gap and in the mountains and deserts of the borderlands. You can do it on your block now, it’s not special or hard, it’s how we are supposed to be and it’s inside all of us.

@transform6789.bsky.social once again dropping some excellent knowledge on the subculture I grew up in. One day I'll write about about how I think the sXe movement was a product of suburban liberalism or how some kids who glorified FSU for beating up racists are now MAGA. For now, enjoy this!
My new, free access Patreon post is an overview of Hardline, based on Phoenix X Eeyore's "Total Revolution?" This bizarre micro-subculture promoted straight-edge, veganism, militant animal rights- & was anti-abortion & homophobic. Most fascinating book I read in 2025!

Just finished my first book of the year.
- Not the most illuminating book, and at times the author comes off as self-aggrandizing
- The two zines in the appendices, especially the one titled "Witchcraft and the Illuminati," are invaluable to my research. Hopefully, I'll publish my findings soon.

Hey so antisemites are tapping into niche interests on instagram that’s way harder to detect than I’ve previously seen and if someone with a bigger platform than me can bring attention to this that’d be great.

I’ve been sort of paralyzed with geopolitical takes as of late. So much redundancy that there’s nothing for me to constructively add other than this: all people deserve dignity and justice. They absolutely do not need nor deserve Western cynicism that swings both left and right.

I think anarchy appeals to me because it is the root of human society.

When you strip away all the trappings of society... when there is a natural disaster and all traditional leadership is destroyed or absent... when there is a crisis... when there is nothing left...

Who are you in that moment?

I always tell people this sentence by Linda Gordon's "The Second Coming of the KKK" is the best I read in grad school.
