Reminder: you should absolutely start wearing the best mask you can find in public spaces, even if you stopped before. We have no public health at the top level & repeat infections have ravaged immune systems. If someone gives you a hassle, say "even if it's just a cold, I DON'T WANT THAT EITHER!"

Truly excellent work from Gustavo Martinez Contreras here on the gentrification of Santa Fe, cop watching and Our Lady of Guadalupe: sfreporter.com/coverstories...

There's a media blackout on the FBI's new enemies list and cash fund for snitching on people harboring things like "anti-Americanism." What little coverage its gotten has been laughably bad: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-ene...

When tens of thousands of Kansas City residents take to the roads and skies this holiday season, they will unknowingly spread germs as they go. That’s where the Kansas City mutual aid group 816 COVID Crew comes in — by helping provide free, high-quality masks to the public.

In Ep 230, "How To Oppose Genocide Without Opposing Genocide (Part 1): Biden World's Reputation Laundering PR Tour," we detail attempts by ex-Biden officials to distance themselves from the horrors of Gaza and lay out the emerging Dem-aligned media industry of vibing past Dems' support for genocide.

I wrote a book about US media’s complicity in the Gaza genocide. It's available for pre-order. It’s a data-driven and, I hope, thorough account of how center-left media sold the American public on mass death in Gaza. Out 4/21. 100% of royalties go to @mecaforpeace.bsky.social.

Epstein And The Elite Shadow State

‘By the #s: New Mexico mentions in recent Epstein email release’

Living with Long COVID often feels like living in a horror movie. Along with your disease comes a creepy Hive Mind refusal to acknowledge the dangers of COVID infection. In Vince Gilligan's new Apple TV show Pluribus, the Hive Mind comes to life: www.thegauntlet.news/p/pluribus-c...

AI is the death of everything that affirms life: pain, suffering, joy, silliness, peace. AI is being forced on us as authoritarianism rises. A polity intertwined with LLMs is the death of society. AI is an attempt to kill the essence of what it means to be alive. open.substack.com/pub/kandist/...

Jeffrey Epstein's newly-publicized emails implicate the entire elite class that he operated in. "These circles that he moved in, if they have any superpower, it is the ability to hear the cries of people without power and close their ears."

Top story for the Guardian right now-- www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The New Mexico Foundation for Open Government is suing the state Department of Public Safety over its excessive delays in providing public records to journalists, including myself.

Public school died January 2022 when children were sent back to school during the worse covid surge of the pandemic without any mitigations like mask requirements, updated ventilation, or virtual options. That's when we crossed the rubicon, and the evidence continues to mount confirming it.

do any freelance reporters know how to make a pitch and prevent the prospective publication from just rejecting you and scooping you?

Palestine’s most popular leader, Marwan Barghouti, was beaten unconscious and has his ribs broken by Israeli prison guards and his family fears for his life, his son has said, citing evidence given by former Palestinian detainees released this week as part of the ceasefire deal.

People continue to call COVID advocates’ pleas for masking “unreasonable”. Yet people who’ve already been disabled by COVID have no choice but to live with the “unreasonable” burdens of constant COVID safety. My latest: substack.com/home/post/p-...
