Woo hoo!!!

Truly sad. Heartbreaking.

When you’ve lost Sorbo.

It begins. Clearly incriminating evidence against president of the United States. Epstein to Maxwell, April 2, 2011: "i want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump. [VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc."

Without anyone saying a word, everyone involved in this episode knew the risks and the safest path forward. They know, instinctively, how to survive in a declining media organization for one more day — please Trump, Weiss, and Ellison, and everyone’s happy. Piss them off and watch out.

The day clownish Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton files a ridiculous, performative lawsuit against Tylenol seems a good day to re-post this:

It’s been one week since Republicans shut down the government. And they won’t even show up to work. Democrats are in D.C., ready to negotiate on a budget that protects your health care and lowers your costs.

The most effective pushback against Trump. amymacdonald1.substack.com/p/first-thin...

“This is about the President of the United States and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.” – Gov. J.B. Pritzker

As Trump continues his authoritarian power grab by militarizing cities, your voice is critical. Contact your local leaders to demand protection of local autonomy and democratic rights. indivisible.org/camp...

"In case there was any doubt as to the motivation behind Trump’s military occupations, take note ... 8 of the top 10 states with the highest homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states is Illinois,” Pritzker said. trib.al/zwDW2vg

To quote Siegfried Sassoon, "The singing will never be done." open.substack.com/pub/amymacdo...

An interesting factoid I unearthed today. The NY Times no longer calls Epstein's death a "suicide." An article today said he "died in a Manhattan jail cell." But (a search shows) until July 24, the Times routinely called his death a suicide. Language matters. What changed their editorial policy?

An important read to help understand this current madness: bsky.app/profile/levp...

Amazon chickened out on showing tariffs' effects, but my local Hannaford's made it pretty clea: 20% increase in bananas (from Honduras) in a week. #tariffs

Resistance is NOT futile

Huge shoutout to everyone this is what a global boycott looks like. Tesla just reported a staggering 71% drop in profits compared to Q1 of 2024. It’s working. Keep the pressure on.

BREAKING: A court ruled that our case challenging Rümeysa Öztürk's unlawful detention should move forward in Vermont, instead of Louisiana, and that ICE must transfer her there. Nobody should be shipped to a detention facility halfway across the country for writing an op-ed.

Mainers for Tax Fairness protest cuts to vital programs for working people to give tax breaks to rich campaign donors like Elon Musk.
