My wife took this great picture of the moon Sunday evening. I appreciate the patience it took to capture these migrating Canada geese. Rodman, NY #birds

My kind of veteran. And I know for a FACT that he’s far from alone.

Canada doing what the U.S. military should be doing instead of blowing up boats in the Caribbean and attacking U.S. cities

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

This is an important interview. A couple stopped and profiled by border patrol comes to a realization: who they voted for lied to them. It takes courage to admit it, and more to go public. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

David Ellison is betting on with a $150 million deal to acquire the Free Press, the popular news and opinion site Weiss founded in 2021 as a check on what she saw as the media’s “woke” orthodoxy. The Free Press is known for railing against what is called “woke orthodoxy.”

We’re two weeks away from the largest day of peaceful protest in American history. No matter where you live, there’s probably a No Kings Day event happening near you to show we won’t cower in response to Trump’s authoritarian takeover: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)

Working on a new book, “The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government.” Drawing from my experience as a prosecutor, the book offers ideas to take back our democracy and a vision for the future. Available June 9, 2026. Here’s the cover. What do you think?

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

Anyway watch the whole thing from Broadview. "Proud" isn't even the word, it's nowhere near how I feel about how strong she's been in the last month.

“We have tried negotiations and the three-man picket line, Mr. Charlie didn't see us and he might as well be blind. Now our new ways aren't nice when we deal with men of ice, But if that is Freedom's price, we don't mind.” James Baldwin - Blues for Mr. Charlie
