Hey you with the pro-democracy anti-authoritarianism newsletter that you’re publishing on Substack!
Yes you. Move your newsletter to Buttondown, Ghost, or beehiiv. Why are you intentionally publishing your work on a platform that funds Nazi speech?
Stop doing that please.

Seattle friends! Are you a local sports fan, resident or business owner? I'm writing A Thing about preparations for the World Cup. Were you one of the people excited to bring the World Cup to our city? Have your feelings changed over the past few months? Are you willing to be quoted?

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.
Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP.

Let’s be clear: if the Palestine Action hunger strikers die, the government will bear moral responsibility | George Monbiot
The three remaining hunger strikers have been convicted of nothing. Yet with astonishing cruelty, ministers refuse to listen to their reasonable demands, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Friendly reminder that Starbucks baristas are still on strike and still asking you to support them by not patronizing *any* Starbucks in the US.
Try a new place! Get a home coffeemaker and a thermos that will pay for themselves with all the Starbucks you won't be buying! Don't cross picket lines!

Only 4 people walked out of our theater of 30 people watching Anaconda, so I think that means it deserves way better than 51% on rotten tomatoes.
