harry potter fans in 2025
people DESPERATE in the notes to explain why the way THEY engage with harry potter is morally pure. It's like white people talking about rap music in there! Libraries buy the books! Fanfiction maintains a conversation around the IP! There is NO WAY to enjoy harry potter in 2025 without publicly supporting JK Rowling!

BREAKING: 21-year-old protester, Kaden Rummler, was shot point-blank in the face by ICE. he just spoke about how he’s blind for life and almost died:
“I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.”
What the hell is wrong with these people?
GoFundMe for Kaden Rummler, the young trans man blinded by ICE agents this week.

Rodden’s X account, GlomarResponder, has been set to private but is still active. On September 28, 2025, the account responded to the question “Can anyone point to me exactly where America started going downhill?” The account responded: “November 6, 1860”—the date that President Abraham Lincoln, the president whose administration ended slavery, was elected.

"Friends outside of Minnesota please read. I'm sharing a post written by a personal friend and medical doctor: Friends outside MN, you need to know what is happening here. Everyone knows that ICE shot and killed a woman here on Wednesday. But that’s not the only thing that’s going on:
- ICE agents are cruising areas with immigrant-owned businesses, and kidnapping patrons and employees alike. Yesterday they abducted two US citizen employees at a suburban Target, one who was begging them to allow him to go get his passport to show them.
- ICE is going door to door in immigrant-heavy neighborhoods, asking residents where their immigrant neighbors live. Read that again. If it sounds like something out of your high school history textbook, that’s because it is.
- ICE is targeting schools and school buses. They pepper sprayed teenagers and abducted two school staff members at the high school up the street from me on Wednesday. Police are literally escorting school buses to ensure children can get to school and home safely. The Minneapolis Public Schools have moved to virtual learning for the next 4 weeks because it’s unsafe for children or teachers to physically come to school.
- They are targeting hospitals and clinics. Patients are scared and are cancelling their appointments or just not showing up. Kids are missing their checkups and vaccines, folks aren’t getting their cancer care, etc.
- They are smashing windows in cars and homes.
- ICE is increasingly picking up Native Americans—again, targeting folks based on skin color alone.
- They are arresting and beating legal observers. A friend of a friend had her arm broken yesterday. Folks are showing up at local hospitals, brought in in ICE custody, with severe injuries that are absolutely inconsistent with mechanism of injury reported by ICE. (Think: patient appears to have been beaten unconscious, while ICE agent says he slipped and fell.) I can’t emphasize enough that these ICE agents do not have warrants. There are 2,000+ agents here and they are simply hunting for anyone that’s not white. It doesn’t matter if you’re a citizen or a green card holder, they will kidnap you first and ask questions later. But the community is fighting back.
- Protests are happening every day.
- Community groups have been leading know-your-rights sessions for months, often to packed venues.
- Whistles are being distributed by the thousands, carried on keychains and worn on coat zippers, always at the ready to be blown in warning if ICE is spotted.
- Drivers are following ICE vehicles, blaring their horns in warning.
- Businesses are locking their doors even while open to keep employees and customers safe. As I type this, I’m standing guard at the locked door of our neighborhood burrito joint while I wait for my takeout order, so the employees can focus on their jobs. The place is packed with neighbors supporting this small business.
- Anti-ICE signs are posted everywhere. The community is making it crystal clear that ICE is not welcome here.
- Parents and neighbors are standing guard outside schools, organizing carpools, and escorting kids to and from school on foot.
- Parents of kids in Spanish-immersion daycare (there are a LOT of these daycares here!) are keeping their kids home so the teachers don’t have to take the risk of coming to work.
- Churches and community groups are holding fundraisers to buy and deliver groceries to families who don’t feel safe leaving home.
- Mutual aid money is going out to folks who can’t make rent because they can’t work or because a breadwinner was abducted, or who need a warm place to stay after their home’s windows were smashed. THAT is what is happening here. This fight is ongoing and it’s horrifying to watch. But we are not backing down. To my friends in other cities and states, don’t think for a minute that this won’t happen in your town. It will. Be ready. Learn from us, as we have learned from Portland and Chicago and New York. Fight back. Don’t let us get to the last line of Martin Niemoller’s poem.” -Grant Boulanger
Here's an AP news brief with a little more info. It's limited in the way major news outlets are right now but provides context that supports the personal account shared.

Underneath the ubermensch tones, this feels like a precursor to food safety standards being lowered for meat. They're just tapping into toxic masculinity as a way to repackage what they want.
Americans, if you're able to shop from local processing butchers, especially halal/kosher ones, I'd suggest preparing to make the switch.
I see in the notes people engaging with the White House's announcement at face value and pointing out this is hypocritical/nonsensical.
Of course it's both.
"The War on Protein" is just a slogan to make it look like the previous administration and the Left in general were/are deliberately trying to keep the nation weak. (This slots in well with white supremacist fears about the Great Replacement, etc.)
This is deliberately to rile up folks and further draw Us vs Them lines. In addition, their current base that actually knows science will be forced to parrot this nonsense as a loyalty test.
It doesn't matter that we see protein added in all sorts of things these days, even bottled water. It doesn't matter that America is the land of burgers, hotdogs, and steaks.
Treat this as an example of how this regime tries to sell its bullshit as "beneficial". See how everything is now a "war", and how America needs to be "strong".
This is most likely propaganda to disguise a campaign to lower food safety standards. Probably also to change requirements for food lunches to favor corporate donors whose food is unhealthy/unsafe.
The formula that worked so well to cast public doubt upon COVID and vaccines is being used here to do the same food safety. Expect to hear that regulations are "unreasonable" and actively hurting America.
Again, do not engage this regime with the surface content of their messaging - treat everything as propaganda and look for who stands to benefit.
Guys, it's not about deregulation. It's about the new food pyramid guidelines. The "war on protein" they're talking about is previous guidelines that recommended limiting red meat and had a lower protein recommendation.
I don't know enough about nutrition science to say if the new guidelines are actually healthy - per the article the response from nutritionists has been "mixed." My guess is no, but my guess on this is worth very little, given I have no training or background in this area.
I agree that the language used is intended to evoke reactions, and plays on associations between meat and strength.
But please stop telling people they can't trust their food to be safe based on vibes and assumptions

But regulatory oversight and testing literally has been cut in 2025. In part because there is an effort to shift regulations at the federal level to the states, many of which are underfunded.
Many things can be happening here at once. In fact, a new food pyramid combined with easing regulations and testing sort of goes hand in hand.
Some events from 2025 and early 2026:
Deregulation is moving through legislation at the state level, such as in New Hampshire. This is currently at odds with federal standards, but only as far as those standards continue to exist, imo.
Pesticide tracking requirements have been rescinded.
The feds hadn't been using this data for years because of lack of funding, but now preventing any future studies via a data blackout is concerning.
Pork and chicken processing speed has been increased. Faster speeds = more chance for error and worker injury.
Not all of these examples are directly meat related, but it still points to a pattern where public safety has been impacted.
There have been enough listeria outbreaks since 2025 to where I will no longer buy bagged salad.
And from where I sit in federal space and the cuts and sleight of hand I've personally witnessed on my own program - even while not CDC or USDA related - I am inclined to believe many decisions by this administration are to line pockets at the expense of public safety.
Call me paranoid, fine, but as has pointed out in the notes, making at effort to patronize local butchers, especially those from underrepresented communities, is good from a community-building standpoint.
I'm not done with the connections behind this announcement.
This promotion of protein also ties into rewarding the production of meat, which has climate and labor impact.
And with immigrants being so under attack in the US, that means a huge source of labor is dwindling, likely to be picked up by prisons. (Tyson foods is a big offender here.)
We already know this administration is denying climate change, which is convenient for an industry that contributes so much to it.
This isn't "just" a new food pyramid. It seeks to prop up a system that is already rife with abuse.
Am I saying you should be afraid of your food? I dunno, maybe a little, to where you need to be more keyed into recalls and the like. The quality of consumer goods has dropped so much due to capitalism that it feels naive to assume food won't follow suit.
You definitely should be more mindful of where it comes from and make the choices that are the most positive and impactful for you and your community.
