It's embarrassing that our state still hasn't taken action to disentangle state and local law enforcement from ICE. Let's get it done already. #mapoli

Reminder as we enter peak gift-shopping season
Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

So @alexvitale.bsky.social, who wrote THE END OF POLICING (which I cite heavily in my forthcoming book THE OVERSEER CLASS), has been tapped to join Mayor-Elect Mamdani’s Transition Team to work on “community safety issues.”

This is an extremely promising development.

This world carries darkness in abundance, shadows that stretch long and cold. Joy is the medicine that mends what breaks, the balm that soothes what aches, the light that refuses to be extinguished. Seek joy in each dawn that breaks—let it be your daily practice, your ritual.

Yes. If you ever think banks should be allowed to cut off financial services for "morality" reasons, just note that neither Epstein's pedophilia, nor Miller's Nazism, nor RFK Jr's eugenics, nor Musk's destruction of USAID caused banks any "moral" concerns whatsoever.
We cannot allow financial institutions which regularly cross the line from amoral to explicitly immoral to hold a dehumanizing line against people who do sex work.
I don't believe for a moment that this debanking effort is because of Ana's sex work rather than her reporting, but also even if that was the reason it shouldn't be allowed.

None of the content Ana has ever made is illegal. There is no justification to cut her off from the banking system.
