If you can, go after Sinclair and Nexstar's advertisers. Write to the PR office or use the contact form.

Borges' articulation of the future via the words of a dead nazi haunts every speech I see by our politicians, this polyphonic blather about blood & soil. 'If victory & injustice & happiness do not belong to Germany, let them belong to other nations. Let heaven exist, though our place be in hell.'

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

Make lying wrong <strike>again</strike>

I went to the exhibit on broken treaties at the Museum of the American Indian today and holy shit has this never not been a country where white supremacists thought it was perfectly fine to call for the extermination of people in the way of their getting rich and lie, lie, lie, lie to accomplish it

Just thinking about how the golden age of television might have constituted a progress of corporate capture of our imaginations. Read, resist?

Boycotting Disney? Good on ya! Need something else to keep you entertained? Might I make one small suggestion?

I'd rather buy a program for 100€ than subscribe to it for 1€ a month.

I honestly can't stress how important this is. We need to get people off rightwing and billionaire disinformation and on good information. I'm begging you to buy a subscription to a good local paper for your parents/grandparents etc. You can probably call the paper and get a discount

Starvation. Mass displacement. Slaughter of innocent children. A siege of Gaza City. This is wrong. The U.S. should not send one more penny to fund Netanyahu's war machine.

Made it to Capclave! Last night, there was grilled cheese, beer, and donuts. Today I'll be reading at 1pm, talking book and movie/TV recommendations at 2pm, and discussing hopeful fiction at 4pm.

In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Helene last fall, downed trees and destroyed bridges caused 430 miles of the famed Appalachian Trail to be closed. As we reported in August, months of labor by volunteer work crews have brought that down to just five miles. https://to.pbs.org/3JLVpB3

Some urban foraging over the past few days. Apples, crab apples, and pears. Destined for cider and perry.

On Wednesday I’ll be giving a talk on #solarpunk in Las Cruces as part of the Cambios Climate Change Speaker Series hosted by NMSU

So, THIS is happening "Rewild the Internet: How to Resist Big Tech" will be published by Simon & Schuster in NY and Bloomsbury in London. Every bit of power we take from Big Tech takes it away from autocrats like Trump. Showing how is what I'm doing to meet this moment. (tk u @robin.berjon.com)

Okay I know this is a joke but I did 100% download a backup copy of wikipedia back in February (and you can, too!) kiwix.org

Just killed my first several spotted lanternflies ever sitting here waiting for the bus in Baltimore. They are big and cute and I am sad

Fun morning in Detroit. Turns out even people just passing by don't like DTE, who knew?

Hawaiians are coming together to buy land back from a billionaire investment firm in an unprecedented move. One-third of the island of Molokai is owned by Hong Kong-headquartered billionaire investment firm Guoco Group. Now, people have launched a plan to buy back their island.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Last night, a judge ordered recently-released Palestinian activist and former @columbiasipa.bsky.social student Mahmoud Khalil deported Tonight at 6 at Busboys and Poets, I’ll be the first to speak with Khalil since the ruling. We will talk about Columbia, cancellation, and free speech.

There's no pleasure quite like hand selling someone a book.

Let’s mock them still

the asters are about to bloom = phenology you have the head bumps of a laudanum fiend = phrenology

fall/the current political moment is the perfect time to learn the difference between phenology and phrenology

Alright alright I admit it, I told Josh Schriver to "crawl back into your white supremacist hole and stay there" apnews.com/article/mich...

Just like a white man!

Once again, racial profiling. Police will continue to test this theory that following their prejudices will lower crime until ... forever? It's the combination of dumb and evil that rankles. thelandcle.org/stories/cont...

I just called my rep Donni Steele of Lake Orion and also the despicable white supremacist Josh Schriver from neighboring Oxford, who drafted and introduced this awfulness, and asked them respectfully if heatedly not to vote for it. Find your legislators: www.michiganvotes.org/legislators

Chances are, I wrote what I'll be reading while drinking. If you want to come hear some on Sept. 22nd, you'll have the option of drinking, too!

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

Irrealists: Our next reading will be on Monday, September 22nd from 7-9pm at Liquid State, featuring @donfoolery.com and @parkeriswriting.bsky.social! Join us for good fiction, good beer, and good company.

ICE killed a Chicago area man last week. His name was Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez. He wasn't "the worst of the worst." He was a cook. ICE hopes we'll forget about him. We won't.

We are so thrilled to announce another book coming from us next year: A DUBIOUS CLAMOR by @marissalingen.bsky.social! We were delighted by the unusual characters and we think you’re going to love them!

Come and take it, you rouge ghoul And by "it" of course I refer to the tens of thousands of my own hard earned white man money I've donated over 10 years to a non-profit NGO I created for the sole purpose of amplifying the words and voices of people you wish you could expunge from reality

This morning, masked and menacing Homeland Security agents abducted one of my East Somerville constituents. Thankfully another constituent captured this video to document the presumed kidnapping. I’m in touch with colleagues at all levels of government as we work to gather more information.

Have you submitted a comment on the Roadless Rule? It’s not too late! Agency staff have to read and respond to comments on proposed rule makings, so it’s one of the best ways to slow down the removal of environmental regulations: act.sierraclub.org/actions/Nati...
