Grateful for Discourse Blog every single day of my life, and grateful for the support of our audience, which has sustained this wild ride for the past six (!!!!) years. Thank you all one trillion times over.

one of the best, and most rewarding things i've ever been a part of.

Discourse Blog is exactly six years old today! This was our very first blog, back on March 23, 2020. It was called "Let's Keep Going." And six years later, we're still going! Thank you so much for helping us make it this far, we love you all. www.discourseblog.com/p/lets-keep-...

YES. this has been a discourse blog position for years, let's make it happen www.discourseblog.com/p/pet-icare-...

Nobody wants this war except for the psychos in DC and Jerusalem and their clients in the murder industry. People know that a war with Iran is an act of total insanity by a ruling class that will destroy us all. (Me in @discourseblog.com.) www.discourseblog.com/p/nobody-wan...

Wrote for @discourseblog.com about the historic levels of loserdom wafting off the MAGA people melting down about Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show. This is why we will defeat these dopes: because they are losers!!! www.discourseblog.com/p/do-you-peo...

tapping the sign www.discourseblog.com/p/enough-is-...

Enough is enough. Politicians can either support the complete abolition—not "reform" but *abolition*—of ICE, or they can get the hell out of the way. (Me for @discourseblog.com ) www.discourseblog.com/p/enough-is-...

I wrote for @discourseblog.com about abolishing ICE and the Democrats standing athwart history yelling "reform and retrain" www.discourseblog.com/p/the-anti-a...

Revolutionary HQ does not have a glory hole

"How can I not feel a swell of pride at the fact that one of the major bulwarks against ICE locally is a coalition between the Smitten Kitten sex shop (no glory hole!), the Twin Cities Leather fetish-wear supplier, and Wrecktangle pizza parlor?" www.discourseblog.com/p/in-minneso...

"So how do you describe a hurricane while you’re stuck in its eye? How do you describe getting kicked in the teeth while you can still taste leather? You can’t, of course—not completely." open.substack.com/pub/discours...

i haven't even read this yet and i'm still gonna say there's no one else i'd rather read than @therafischwartz.bsky.social as my state is under siege

plz share @therafischwartz.bsky.social's Twin Cities dispatch with people in your non-Bluesky life. they need to know what's happening www.discourseblog.com/p/in-minneso...

Tried to describe what life here is like these days, and why, despite it all, I'm optimistic and so, so proud of this community.

"if Minnesota has demonstrated anything since being turned into a microcosm of this broader struggle against totalitarianism, it’s how to turn despair into not only action, but genuine solidarity — the kind that better worlds are made of."

So sharp from @caitschneider.bsky.social in @discourseblog.com on the dreadful both-sidesing of Renee Nicole Good's murder www.discourseblog.com/p/renee-nico...

Despite what the government and far too many media outlets would have you believe, the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good is not up for debate www.discourseblog.com/p/renee-nico...

The Word For This Is 'Coup': www.discourseblog.com/p/the-word-f... @jackmirkinson.bsky.social @discourseblog.com

Wrote for @discourseblog.com about why it's important that we call what Trump has done in Venezuela by its proper name—a coup—and why (surprise surprise) our major media outlets have universally failed to do so www.discourseblog.com/p/the-word-f...

He's the worst Jimmy Fallon Is the ChatGPT of Talk Show Hosts www.discourseblog.com/p/jimmy-fall...

Sam Altman is a ghoulish villain, sure, but let's not discount Fallon as the real stinker of the pair.

Jimmy Fallon doesn’t really tell jokes, or conduct interviews. He just rattles off pop culture references and slightly rewords whatever someone just told him. In other words, he’s ChatGPT. www.discourseblog.com/p/jimmy-fall...

THIS. Entirely this:

He's a human ChatGPT (janky, annoying, a net negative in the world at large)

Under Trump, things are simple, clear, and concise. If you do what the president wants, you will be rewarded with money and status. www.discourseblog.com/p/quid-pro-q...

Megyn Kelly had some thoughts...and we have some thoughts on them.

ALERT: Discourse Blog is officially Podding now...and on video too. Listen to us talk about Graham Platner, the Louvre heist, and, last but not least, CORDS. www.discourseblog.com/p/discourse-...

I don't think graham platner is necessarily a nazi, but i'm pretty sure he's too much of a dipshit to be a united states senator. www.discourseblog.com/p/graham-pla...

Theres a right(ish?) way and a wrong way to handle a Nazi tattoo scandal. Guess which one Graham Platner chose. www.discourseblog.com/p/graham-pla...

Alright, fine. I blogged the goddamned Nazi-adjacent oaf and tried to unpack how his sin isn't getting the tattoo—it's everything he's done since. www.discourseblog.com/p/graham-pla...

Kamala Harris says she wants the world to "be honest" about what happened in Gaza, but she refuses to do it herself. Gimme a fucking break!!!! www.discourseblog.com/p/give-me-a-...

Oh well…

Sometimes you gotta find pleasure in the simple things in life

Oh well…

ty to bari for providing much-needed comic relief this week www.discourseblog.com/p/bari-weiss...

Wrote about the temptation to put Gaza on the back burner now that the ceasefire is solidifying—and why we can't let that happen. Gaza still needs you, and me, and everyone to fight until real Palestinian liberation is won. www.discourseblog.com/p/gaza-still...
