I have suspected for awhile that we are already seeing the violence that runs downstream of (mostly) privileged (mostly) men with gambling addictions. And it will only get worse.
Everything will, in the end, have been about crypto and fossil fuels and we are mostly just casualties. Sigh.
Every time a new story about this comes out I feel better about moving our newsletter off Substack. I'm happy to talk to anyone who's interested in learning about moving to Ghost (what we use) or other platforms. It was easy and we didn't lose subscribers
Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude
"but my packages!"
bro you just post videos of your packages being stolen now, it's not a deterrent at all.
On a similar note, as Mamdani continues to notch W after W you’re going to start seeing opinion pieces about how this could never work in any city other than New York, etc., etc. Do not engage! It’s just entrenched power bullshit and that’s all! Don’t let them make that a conversation!
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."
There’s nothing to conspire about when it comes to sexual abuse, particularly of young women like many of Epstein’s victims were. Nothing happens to perpetrators the overwhelming majority of the time. It’s almost legal in practice
There doesn’t have to be a conspiracy around what Epstein was saying in these emails because the reality is that sexual violence is enabled at every level of society, so he had no reason to hide what he was doing. The government, the powerful, even many in the media knew the truth
Booo. Hate this.
Y’all rode right past my house!

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis
is the cure for male loneliness showing up early and setting up chairs?
His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.
NEW: A police officer in Colorado used evidence from Flock cameras to wrongfully accuse an innocent woman for package theft, then yelled at her on the phone when she told him she had evidence that exonerated her, according to body camera footage obtained by 404 Media.
The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”
People will walk themselves into totalitarian surveillance if they think it’ll catch a few rowdy Black teens.
Fuck, yeah.
I Lived It: I watched The Family Stone six weeks after my mom died and still retained enough hydration in my body to stay alive.
Not convinced that these answers weren’t produced by a chatbot given the prompt “provide the most anodyne corporate-speak possible.”

I can’t believe my mom didn’t call me on my birthday.
Jk jk I can believe it she’s dead
solidarity with trans people and death to fascism
If you are next of kin to someone who owned any real estate when they died you will be descended on by vultures from every direction. Bereaved beware.

NGL gonna do drugs & drink alcohol for a bit. Love is big & changing & means lots of things but for most people, their mothers are the first people in the world any of us ever needed. She’s probably the person you’ve known longest. The person who has known you literally your whole damn life.
Also she outlived Dick Cheney so… slay.
I don’t post on here a lot but my mom died yesterday and that only happens to you once. She was very loved. And she worked very hard to give me and my sis a more expansive life than she had.
