From cycling under the light of moon on a beautiful night, to looking around and adding up the obscene amount of money we spend on cars, this article echoes so much of my thoughts about riding a bike and how CONNECTING it is- to people, to nature, to life- and how cars sever that connection.

Well that's tomorrow night's plans sorted. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfF8...

New on Substack: My archival conversation with David Simon on the "Great Algorando" and why he says tech people shouldn't regulate speech. This is the 2nd entry in my Archives series and provides useful background for Part 3 of Godwin's Ethic. Read it here: mikegodwin.substack.com/p/from-the-a...

They did the meme in real life. *** "In this White House, Christopher Columbus is a hero, and President Trump will ensure he’s honored as such for generations to come.” www.cnn.com/2026/03/22/p...

Concentration camps. Use the term. Do not stop using the term until this current American regime falls and the camps are liberated. Then use the term in The Hague. This is Trumpism. This is white nationalism. This is he moral gutter into which America has fallen.

Immaculate aura

Happy Evacuation Day to all who celebrate.

This is a story every American should know, and exactly the kind of story the current administration would literally ban the teaching of if they could. It cannot be reconciled with their view of America.

Before Citizens United, billionaires donated 0.3% of campaign financing. In the last election, 300 billionaires & their families — 0.0001% of America's population — provided 19%. nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u...

If you include all forms of tax which totals roughly $15,250 for a median household: Cost per day: $1,000,000,000 Taxpayers needed: 65,574 median taxpayers This means the total annual tax contribution of roughly 65,000 middle-class families is spent every day.

For @wbur.org, I wrote about something that I would love to see in more American cities; an all-night winter party with minimal cost barriers that brings people together during the loneliest, darkest time of the year. This is Montreal’s version, Nuit Blanche. www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/...

Great interview with Max Cooper here. On Being was one of my favorite albums of 2025. www.ableton.com/en/blog/max-...

Pathetic.

These are the people everyone is so proud of?

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Sir we all agree you can violate civil rights and start wars but we will not stand for you messing with the most important and sacred idea that protects every American citizen: the money

This is the sort of juicy story of government suppressing speech that Bari Weiss loves to cover! [No mention in CBS News or The Free Press]

Add the actual dollar amounts & the average yearly income tax paid per person and this is a winning message.

Please read this long but important thread from an immigration defense attorney. If this administration is permitted to scale its current abuse, neglect, and inhumane treatment of immigrants to the breadth and scope for which they’re currently planning, we’ll all be witness to mass atrocities.

Extremely unlikely but if anyone hears of tickets popping up for this, I will pay a bunch of money for them. www.gardnermuseum.org/calendar/ste...

Finally broke out the Tagz x Kowloon sneakers (created to benefit The Joey Fund)! They are obviously my prized possessions.

Initially thought this was a vape pen.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Paths were finally clear enough to get a small ride in yesterday. Winter biking is completely fine when even a minimum amount of infrastructure is maintained.

It is currently 'packs of coyotes walking across the Charles River' cold outside.

Just the best. RIP.

Wonder who #4 is

Democrats should never shut up about this. One thing even stupid people understand is gigantic wastes of money.

Horrible event & one of my earliest memories, but I do love the Feynman stories about his time working on the commission. lithub.com/how-legendar...

I don't even know where to start with the illegal...The Executive does not have the constitutional power to raise revenue. The Executive does not have the constitutional power to make decisions about expenditures. The Executive does not have the power to privatize the functions of the US Treasury...

With Alex Reinert on where immunity comes from

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

It is important to keep repeating this, because these 23 people continue to get complete free passes every day while the fascism & incineration of American national security keep happening.

A book - particularly one that was important to/meant a lot to the giver - is just about the best gift I can imagine receiving.

Really at a loss for words here.

You can picture how it must have felt in there. Four fucking Nazis with their shit-eating grins squeezing their fat asses into a booth at a family-owned Mexican place poisoning the entire room with their smug impunity. Desecrating a place of community www.welcometohellworld.com/we-must-love...

I wrote about how concentration camp regimes evolve and why it's not too late to stop this, even though we are deep in it now.

Thumbs up to Bandcamp.

No one's life should be at risk for simply existing in their communities or exercising their rights. Learn these. Remember them. Share them with your neighbors. I will continue to use every tool my office has to protect our immigrant community and ensure our residents know their rights.

Does anyone think this guy is going to certify a Democrat as the winner of the next presidential election? Especially if HE is the Republican candidate?

1. ICE will kill you. 2. Trumpists will lie to justify it. 3. Because they are all thug trash.
