Due process is now out of style. This is more worrying than I think the average person knows. Judges without ethics can override judges with ethics, and any political affiliation or ethnicity that doesn't match with who the government values or trusts is reason enough to eliminate all their rights.

Hard not to look at coverage of Hegseth's "narco-terrorism" strategy and wonder how much sympathy the media actually has for the over 87 people murdered opposed to finding Trump's erratic behavior to be a subject that gets clicks.

Would love to have the optimism that Republicans will view the Caribbean strikes as war crimes or extrajudicial murder, but so far there are a lot of GOP congressmen who are making excuses. The Democrats seem to still not realize that we're playing Calvinball, but Trump is making up the rules.

I explore how "narco-terrorism" is a term used for sleight of hand to hide the possible real motives for Trump's moves in the Caribbean and Central and South America.

The Red Press Anthology, a community-based Substack with guest authors from the left, is now live with its first post!

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

Well Pluribus just solved the air traffic controller crisis

SNAP benefits and free breakfast and lunch programs in schools both being cut means children are going to starve. The cruelty is the point. It's not even okay to blame impoverished adults, but starving children is evil.

I know I have limited reach here, but I'm still reaching. I'm interested in starting a leftist community Substack where people would submit content and it would all go on the same blog, totally free. If anyone is interested in this project, please DM me. I'd like a variety of voices if possible.

Kandinsky is one of my favorites. If you get the chance to see any of his stuff up close, do it. It's all very intricate and you can almost see him thinking.

Starting to think all of this Grok drama is manufactured just to keep Elon's stuff in the news tbh

Give the photographer the Pulitzer Prize

Sinners (Coogler, 2025):

I've begun volunteering at my local library, and I am amazed at what it does on a regular basis without seeming to notice how incredible it is. I don't do much, but I'm glad to help, because I can't overstate - protect your local libraries

My tepid take is Yoko Ono is an internationally famous conceptual artist who’s career was ruined by some boy band

Looking into past and present antifascist groups to research. Some are more obvious than others. Any suggestions would be welcome.

The kids are all right

So Ramona Flowers is trans, right?

Love Minus Zero: a kinky love story with an autistic cis boy artist and his trans polisci-loving beloved facing family drama and political intrigue together, and growing as a result. Light BDSM content and phobic language used against the leads. #romancelandia #booksky books2read.com/u/38qpOa

Nobody asked for this so here it is

Hot take: Mushroom Kingdom is an ethnostate But Bowser does the same with Koopas so there are no good guys here

When people claim they "worked hard" to make an AI prompt, I laugh. You wrote down some words to get what you wanted. You didn't make art, you ordered from McDonalds. Congrats on them getting your order right.

Wild to think that back in the day dudes were gooning to chicks named Phyllis and Gertrude

Antifascist podcast in the works, covering what fascism is and the movements that have fought against it. If you have any interest in having a conversation with me about this on the podcast, or if you have any questions, please let me know.

NEW: X has become a hotbed of neo-Nazi content under Elon Musk. We identified the operators of four anonymous accounts that share racist, antisemitic, and neo-Nazi content. Three live in Texas. Musk has replied to two of them. One works for the Navy. www.texasobserver.org/revealed-ope...

Her: You'd better not be a pair of cunty mummies from a GBA Castlevania when I get there My embalmed ass:

Steve the Demon pt 3

One of the biggest problems with running as “republican-lite” is that if a voter is attracted to Republican policies they will simply vote for the Republican 99 times out of 100, and if a voter is turned off by Republican policies, embracing them will make that voter less likely to vote for you

Steve the Demon pt 2

“Ceding ground” is a false analogy. Twitter is not land being fought over, where you win by conquering. It is a product that millions of consumers have decided they no longer want to use, much like people decided to stop buying cathode ray tube televisions

We've got 4 years to create a third party that can actually do something. I'm not about electoralism but this seems like the only way to live in a somewhat functioning semi-democracy. The Dems have officially proven they can no longer be trusted. Ever again.

Feeling like I should do something. Blog. Podcast. I'm smart enough and savvy enough with what's going on. It's just a question of me being settled into a routine of things I know I'm good at and about to add a whole new thing to it. Blame the autism. Thinking I might start with anti-imperialism.

This comic was made for me and I love it, hope you enjoy it too

I am extremely plugged into the news, and lately it's just been the most doom-inspiring venture to check my email only to find nothing but bad news. I want to know what's going on, but at what cost? Morale is low.

I'm back I guess! Fleeing toxicity on Facebook.

listening to my husband being polled by a republican pollster and it's fucking hilarious. they're trying to seem nonpartisan and neutral but all of the issues and language they're leaning on comes out as conservative buzzword vomit.

my immediate thought is, i don't think i could handle being high in this room

LETTERS FROM THE SOUTHERN BORDER my dearest Gwinifer, it has been a fortnight since I gazed upon your stock photo. my University of Phoenix degree did not prepare me for this, but knowing you are safe in Canada keeps me going. hope we can meet in person when this civil war is over. MAGA, Wade

watching john wick for the first time

i called this months ago

i will say it's wild that ramaswamy did as well tonight in iowa as he did - 7.6% is actually a lot and should have narrowed significantly, the majority going to haley or desantis by now. it hasn't. people love his asshole schtick. he's the veep.

"did you ever think of doing standup" no because i'm not trying to be funny and i don't think i could do it on command bro

the last count i found said 650,000+ people were homeless, so don't let anyone say that this is a limited problem to just a couple of lazy bums. they'll reduce it to the percentage, but there are a lot of people living in the us. .2% of 330,000,000 is still a big number.

putting on "look around you" for the kids and seeing how long it takes for them to catch on

i will face god and walk backward into hell
