When Substack was new, a bunch of successful comics writers who had signed up for significant monetary reasons suggested they also send me an invitation, thinking I would be a good fit.

None of us knew at that time what the platform would become. But I got a note back, very polite, saying no.

Substack's extremist ecosystem is flourishing Yup, they're still at it.

When I left Substack in 2024 I wrote: "For those who are staying because they think the Nazi problem is fake or overblown...just wait. Substack mgmt just put out the welcome mat for some pretty horrible people. Many will surely answer.”

Surprise! A bunch did.

This isn’t about accuracy. It’s about erasure.

The census isn’t just about political representation. It decides who gets funded and who gets ignored.

This move will starve communities of color of federal money for healthcare, education, disaster relief, and emergency response.

Trump will sign an executive order today that allows your 401K money to be invested in private equity. Aside from what that means for your retirement fund, it will also roughly DOUBLE the amount of money P.E. firms have at their disposal to take over companies/hospitals/housing/etc.

Shut fox down. They're still selling yellow journalism as real public information. Fox networks are domestic enemies damaging the minds of it's viewers

Excuse me for my skepticism but I work in the insurance catastrophe industry and there is not an ounce of truth in Chris Wright’s statement. Things are far worse than people realize, because they are so geographically widespread.

I never hear those things bc it sounds like pure crap.

How can families house their families?

Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because the jobs report made him look bad. This isn’t just petty—it’s a direct threat to the truth. If presidents can fire people for facts, how can we trust any of the numbers? #VegasJoePolitics #BLSPurge

RI Man Tied To Racist Group Picked Up On Warrant In Child Porn Case: Cops The Jamestown man was wanted on a warrant charging him with violating the conditions of his bond, court records show.

The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.

Let’s not get so involved in the soap opera that we forget it’s not a soap opera. But a coup designed to destroy the fabric of our nation

If you’re wondering how ICE recruitment and training is going under Kristi Noem—South Park already nailed it.

The trauma immigrant children carry from ICE’s atrocities runs deep. Then folks wonder why our communities “don’t progress”—we do, despite being systemically traumatized. This is how marginalization works: hurt the children early, then blame the adults for the scars they were forced to carry. #Pinks

So, uh, lawyer types, is Tim Apple doing bribery crime on video here
