Three Republican-appointed judges just made it harder to cancel subscriptions you don’t want. It's absurd that you can't just click to cancel. Lina Khan fought for that change. But now companies can trap you in subscriptions and squeeze you for every penny.

My buddy said some kind words. @epeppersauce.bsky.social killed it with her amazing design skills and she makes my books look so good. Hope you will pick it up once it’s out. It’s a bit more serious than my last few books, but I hope you’ll dig it. Thanks for the support and encouragement.

North Carolina, we deserve better than this. Jefferson Griffin is still trying to throw away enough of our ballots to overturn the 2024 election. Share this post to spread the word. We will not be silenced.

The Egyptian pro-democracy activist Wael Ghonim said, "The power of the people is greater than the people in power." This is a checklist of things you can do, probably should do, resources, ideas, ways to move forward. “I just don’t know what to do!!” shouldn’t be something you say now. Here:

Overturning Roe was never just about sending abortion back to the states, Democracy Docket contributor @susanrinkunas.com writes.

If federal workers aren’t allowed to work from home then Donold shouldn’t be allowed to work from Mar-A-Lago.

Wow. Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC. “I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!” Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out. We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.

Can someone remind me again why we have the Hatch Act?

What a front cover...

Netanyahu’s extremist government has halted ALL humanitarian aid into Gaza. Starving children is a war crime. UN leaders said: "International humanitarian law is clear: we must be allowed access to deliver vital lifesaving aid. We need to get aid in and the hostages out.”

Opt out tomorrow!

Hamas has returned the bodies of four Israeli hostages, including Shiri Bibas, who was abducted along with her two children during the October 7, 2023, attack. At the time of the abduction, her younger son was only nine months old, while the older one was five years old. My deepest condolences...

An "audit showed 29,972 voters being challenged by Jefferson Griffin did, in fact, provide the requisite identification numbers when they registered." www.wunc.org/politics/202... #ncpol

Free elections are the baseline for representative democracy. If Jefferson Griffin and NCGOP are successful in overturning the NC Supreme Court race next month, authoritarianism will be the rule in NC going forward.

So if Jefferson Griffin in North Carolina is ALLOWED to throw out 65k votes to steal an election Allison Riggs has already won - that’s called fraudulent representation, NOT voter fraud. Republicans being silent about this shows how “constitutional” they really are not.

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

This passage, with a similar message, from Fahrenheight 451, has stuck with me.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

@epetmezas.bsky.social and I made a heart-shaped challah for Valentine’s Day and Shabbat!

Oh, wow… I, uh… haven’t had a Valentine since the early 2000s when my date said they were running to "Blockbuster" to grab us a movie… and never came back. But I’ll think about it. You really hurt me, Wickit411, when you unplugged the printer and ran off with that other app 😒

Because you TOTALLY asked for this… and MapQuest has NOTHING better to do… We’ve granted you exclusive access to a place very dear to our heart: gulfof.mapquest.com Think of it as the Upside Down but more... minimalist. Pls share so we can behold your genius (or judge you, lovingly) 😘

Trump is absolutely without a doubt the worst negotiator in American history and it’s not Even close. Seriously

Check out this cool new Asheville based apparel company. I don't know them personally, but they sound like good peeps from their website info. Please click the link and read about and support them. www.actualityapparel.com

Trump campaigned on lowering costs, but today’s inflation data shows he's failing to deliver on that promise. President Trump should be paying attention to rising inflation instead of trying to gut the CFPB, which saves Americans money and protects them from Wall Street scams.

It was never about “free speech.”

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS. I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.

Tell me how again how Kamala was worse than this?

I'd love some follow-up from those anti-Zionist (pro-Gaza/Hamas) voters who didn't think Harris/Biden were doing enough, so they stayed home or voted Trump. How's it going for them? It's almost like Trump never said he believed Netanyahu was not being fierce enough.

Great weather this weekend! @epetmezas.bsky.social and I checked out the new Seemingly Overzealous location in Plaza-Midwood in Charlotte, NC for some delicious ice cream (minus the dairy and egg).

Not gonna lie I did kinda expect our Democratic politicians to have something like a plan to counter the 920-page detailed fascist blueprint that was published in April 2023

If you’re in Charlotte come on down to the Charlotte Minicon tomorrow. There’s loads of great artists and dealers. I’ll be peddling my wares so come by and say hello and throw me some of that green! 😉

First of all, I don't have to know! I am not a politician. But Dems can vote NO on Trump's cabinet picks, for one. How is this even a question? I feel like I am going crazy.

I will also add that people in Congress are not volunteers. They are being paid. They have health insurance. They have retirement. They have ONE JOB—to serve their constituents. And if they cannot figure out how to push back politically they don't deserve to be in office.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Republicans all of a sudden complaining about gerrymandering is just too rich.

Republicans don’t like when gerrymandering is done to them! Gerrymandering should be illegal in every state.
