🧵 Been trying to read more books in general, a hobby I enjoyed immensely when younger & had fallen to the wayside. My tastes run towards Sci-fi, fantasy & general fiction. Many resonate with our current political situation. So, if you’re looking for some inspiration, here’s what I’ve read lately 🧵

If your institution is subpoenaed for this, the proper answer is GFYS.

"Subpoena seeks contact information for employees who have filed complaints about discrimination based on Jewish faith, those who belong to Jewish clubs or groups on campus, [staff in] ... Jewish studies program."
If the government asks for a list of Jews in your organization, you have an absolute ethical obligation to refuse that request, regardless of who is asking or what they say it's for. They have no right to ask and you have no right to comply.

We don’t need to reform ICE.
We don’t need alternatives to ICE.
We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.

ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

Imagine warning ppl about the dangers of smoking a plant that doesn’t give you cancer or respiratory diseases, while advertising gambling apps that will have users homeless with their pockets turned out. Alcohol, tobacco, and gambling are ALL more dangerous than cannabis.

yeah tbh I’d really rather be on ADHD meds and NOT have to develop a two pack a day cigarette habit as someone who’s never smoked before just to function
I guess I can drink twelve coffees a day while chain smoking if you want me to do this in a socially acceptable manner, I just don't see how that's better for my physical or mental health than Vyvanse, y'know?
