Getting a lot of messages. A lot are like "Can I come help?" (appreciated, but unless you know the area very well, probably not THAT useful) or "Can I send money?" (not to me, please).
But the best ones are like "I want to build what you guys have back in my home city." YES, DO THAT. DO IT NOW.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

Reconstruction died unfinished.
The institutions and mindsets of hierarchy need to be rooted out and burned on the pyre of the country's past.
We don't have to keep living this.
We don't have to keep thinking in these old broken ways.
We can be better than what we inherited.
Fuck all of this.

The Epstein files released today did not come from the DOJ's Epstein Files. They came from Epstein's estate. Pam Bondi is still protecting Trump at all costs. Today's release by Democrats was aimed at undermining her efforts. And to make it harder for Donald to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
