Dolly Parton has sent my daughter a new book every month for years as she does for thousands of children. She help fund the development of the Covid vaccine. She’s not a billionaire. I think as non wealthy people it’s hard to even imagine how much billionaires *could* be doing with their money.

As someone who was honestly pretty uninformed on the research around fare-free transit, I *highly* recommend this. It's a really nuanced discussion. I also appreciate that they broadened the scope beyond NYC to include smaller and mid-sized cities. Episodes like this are why I'm a Patreon supporter.

Please do not pay attention to this account on economic data. They're citing layoff announcements published by Challenger, which are not specific to a given month or limited to the US. They've also way overestimated layoffs for years now.

You Must Protect Anyone Chased by the Fascists "We have to define the politics of opposition."

If you're trying to make sense of what's happening in D.C., orient yourself in this moment, and figure out what to do next, you may want to read my latest piece.

Sama'a has a baby coming at the end of the month. She will be born in the midst of genocide and famine. Anything you can give makes a difference.

inspiring

remember on the first two albums when ed sheeran was really good at music

Babe, it was always fascist, from the moment our ancestors arrived started exterminating the Indigenous population & brought over their human trafficking victims they called slaves.

This is what happens when you treat journalism as the “neutral” presentation of how the public “feels” about things versus informing the public with news you have gleaned through reporting that is informed by shared democratic values

You only kill journalists when you want to hide what you're doing.

Professional criticism is not the same as individual reviews. They can both be useful but criticism is a skill-based genre like any other writing. The yelpification of criticism isn’t evolution.

Sickening. Every journalist in America should think deeply about the fact that most American politicians are willing to accept and indeed facilitate the murder of our colleagues.

i do think zack cregger kinda hates women but he makes movies that are good enough that i’m going to pretend i don’t see that part

Watch the moment a group of Israeli activists stormed a live television broadcast to protest Israel’s war on Gaza.

Members of Standing Together, wearing 'Leave Gaza' T-shirts, jumped onto the stage during the airing of the Big Brother show on Channel 13.

LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

I wrote something today and I thought I might share: bit.ly/45oIc8u

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered…Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

- 1984, George Orwell

Fuck CBS and Paramount and David Ellison. Cowards. Collaborators. Propagandists.

Substack’s extremist ecosystem is flourishing The app's recent swastika push alert was just the tip of the iceberg.
