Thinking that more guns is the solution to gun violence is like thinking more water is the solution to floods.

From stardust I came, to stardust I will return. In between I try to do good and be kind, mostly.
Pinned
Pity the nation whose people are sheep
And whose shepherds mislead them
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars
Whose sages are silenced
And whose bigots haunt the airwaves
Pity the nation that raises not its voice
Except to praise conquerors
And acclaim the bully as hero....
Lawrence Ferlingetti

We were seeing a 98% drop in exposure over on Twitter. The censorship was so extreme we thought it best to start over somewhere else. We chose Bluesky.

just totted up all the substacks I pay for and found myself thinking ‘wow wouldn’t it be better if all these writers were in one place and I could just pay a flat fee’ so anyway that’s how today I invented the concept of the ‘newspaper’

The art of the deal:

1. Make wild demands

2. Get nothing

3. Declare victory

Having an independent, civilian-led military matters, as we came to learn in connection with Jan 6, in more ways than one. Hegseth's nomination to be SecDef is something we can't ignore. joycevance.substack.com/p/secdef
SecDef
In early 2021, just days ahead of January 6, every living Secretary of Defense signed onto a letter that ran in the Washington Post.

New in PN: Trump is not immune in NY case, and he's big mad about it

"The truth is that as Trump prepares to retake power and tries to convince Americans he has a mandate, he’s furious he’s being held accountable in any tiny way for all his criming."

Evidently the GOP really doesn’t have a problem with foreigners taking over the country.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: The message I’m hearing from people across Canada is this: they’re not afraid of you. They know you’re a convicted felon. They know that the people you’re bringing in to run your, let’s call it an “organization” rather than a government, are grifters, thieves, and thugs.

Fun fact: Service members don’t get paid during a shutdown.
Congressmen do.

The billionaires want you all to be divided to keep the heat off of them.

This nightmare will all be over on the day that working people unite and realize that’s it’s YOU vs. THEM.

I've seen a lot of House Speakers come and go, but I've never seen one as pathetically feckless as Mike Johnson. Letting himself get rolled by a nepo baby who holds no office is really next level.
