When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies. It was a "sideshow," I was told.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Devastated to see what’s happening at a place that I loved because it was the writing home of so many people I loved. what a gutting week

NEW: Florida voters have sued Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) over his unilateral effort to launch mid-decade redistricting in the state, arguing that the governor lacks the authority to issue orders to the state legislature. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

When you're so coked up and stupid you put the scope on backwards:

the $75 million Jeff Bezos set on fire for that Melania propaganda piece could have funded most independent newsrooms for literally decades

Cry me a river, Pam Bondi. Unless you criticize the wrong person, aka Ron DeSantis, the right kind of Florida lawyer can do anything. Like using drugs and ditching ethics. Looking at you, Matt Gaetz. My column on the Bar's Ain’t-Been-Misbehavin’ Hall of Fame: www.sun-sentinel.com/2026/01/29/c...

Sometimes you have to say it out loud to appreciate how dire t all is: The president just openly declared his plans to steal the midterm elections — in an interview with the former number two person at the FBI.

Happy Groundhog Day to people who reject climate science, but do believe in weather predictions from captive rodents.

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

“If people are afraid to leave their homes to go to work or school or get groceries, they’re definitely going to be afraid to leave their homes to vote.” From Minnesota to Georgia, Trump’s plans to interfere in the midterms are becoming more dangerous.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Enjoy your MAHA-approved affordable dinner during the Golden Age. It’s your patriotic duty to ration and fight inflation for Dear Leader. The nation is counting on you.

This is why we celebrate the Boston Substack Party, when the patriots wrote strongly worded pamphlets about tea.

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

"Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him." Kamala Harris at her closing campaign rally

"I will not be f*cking gaslit by these people. I will not calm down the rhetoric and tone it down....Jonathan Ross murdered her." @timmiller.bsky.social on the new footage of the Renee Good shooting:

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” —George Orwell (1984)

A federal agent killed a U.S. citizen in a state that never asked for federal involvement — and now the federal government is blocking that state from investigating the killing. That isn’t federalism. That isn’t public safety. That is occupation.

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

Cut and dry murder. Arrest the officer right now.

This is exactly the state of American politics right now:

Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him. Put this photo on the front page of every newspaper in America.
