Good time to remember Hong Kong’s excellent protest gear: Helmet, goggles, gloves, sleeves, long pants. Masks (one on your face, at least one sealed in a zip bag or still in the wrapper. More if you can.) Pocket umbrella. hongkongfp.com/2019/08/09/e...

My advice to Democrats would be to stop letting Republicans set the terms of debate, start making it clear you’re acting on principles instead of polls, and fire Rahm Emmanuel into the sun.

If you think ICE agents are justified in disrupting an elementary school graduation to detain parents in front of their traumatized children, we will never see eye to eye on anything.

All the substack deadenders are going to find out in a couple years. They’re fucking around now and they will found out at some point because there’s no way the worst tech bros on the planet are just going to let progressive journalism cook. They are walling you in for a reason.

Now they’re using tear gas & stun grenades on the crowds that witness their cowardly “raids.” They’re shit-scared. This is gonna lead to bystander deaths. Look at these zilches in their Judge Dredd cosplay. This is the happiest moment of their miserable, forgettable lives.

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

Yesterday I did annual repotting of mints. Dump it out. Saw into quarters. Shake out excess soil & reuse with a hint of worm castings. Using up a bag of soil I don’t like to fill in but mostly old soil. Mints like a struggle bus. Replace the quarters so root-bound edges face in. Tada! #gardening 🌱

Stop the @bsky.app bashing. We’re all under a tremendous strain. We’re not perfect. I block when I need to, but ignore most foolishness. Don’t become goaded into leaving a platform that’s doing almost all the right things. To organize for 2026, we need to stay in communication w/each other.

If you're going to watch Murderbot on Apple TV, consider adding it to your watchlist. It's kind of like pre-ordering a book, it tells the streaming service that you're there for our show. Link for US viewers: tv.apple.com/us/show/murd... (You can also search for it on the app.)

Testing men over age 70 for prostate cancer is not recommended, and in Biden's last physical, he was not tested. That media pretends not to know this is disgusting. That NeverTrumpers with big followings are pushing a lie about Biden is also disgusting (same people who pushed him out of the race)

Why in the world would 7 companies donate over $160,000 to Billy Long's DEFUNCT 2022 Senate campaign? And are we expected to believe it's a coincidence that they made those donations right after Long was nominated to be Trump's IRS Commissioner? Looks like pure corruption.
