Insecurity is the root of all evil. It’s helpful to remember this.

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown.

Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

the Star Tribune just called me and told me they would not be publishing the obituary I wrote for my father as it is “unfair to him” and “in poor taste” so here it is and fuck the strib ✌🏻
Charles Dudley Krenz, 72, died from complications of bile duct cancer on May 29 at his home in Winston, Oregon. Charles spent the majority of his life making poor use out of every opportunity and privilege awarded him and attempting to make everyone around him as miserable as he was. Bright but lacking curiosity, confident but devoid of empathy, Charles was given second, third, even fourth chances throughout his life, but squandered them with a predictable consistency that borders on deliberate. At the time of his death, he had alienated himself from almost all who cared for him. Those people will not be surprised that there was no deathbed change of heart here. Chaz remained unpleasant until the very end. Charles is preceded in death by his partner Jacquelyn Sullivan, whose warmth and good graces provided a reason for others to tolerate him for 27 years until her death from ovarian cancer in 2017. He is survived by his two children, AC Sullivan and Hank Sullivan, who, in the years since their father stole a bunch of money from them and skipped town, have been both relieved and dismayed to learn that breaking generational curses only really takes a modicum of personal effort.

Maybe we should all make or stock little libraries with only banned books.

I ask the people in power, with large platforms and public profiles: For the last few years, you have been saying what everyday Americans need to do. With Trump coming:

Isn't it your time to stand up?
Isn't it your time to show some heroism?
Isn't it your time to do what you expected from others?

I was hoping someone was going to do the math on how much overtime Trump stole from workers. The number's only getting bigger!

A Trump-appointed judge just struck down a Biden rule expanding overtime pay to 4 million working people.

It's really surprising how little media coverage this has received. Trump faced no real questions about this issue during the campaign. 1/

A Trump Judge Just Nixed Overtime Pay for Millions—and Media Yawned
Remember the right-wing frenzy over “Rich Men North of Richmond”? Well, this ruling exposes Trump-MAGA hypocrisy on the working class—and reveals a big media failure.
