We made a site - Resist2025.org
#California can take a seat. People who protect their own rights but then fail to protect the rights of vulnerable others don’t get to crow about their own enlightenment.
Thank you to @brian_goldstone for bringing that to attention.

voters in one of America’s bluest, most "progressive" states rejected a measure to cap skyrocketing rents — and now, it seems, one to ban *forced prison labor*

in retrospect, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords really might've been a better basis for a system of government.
This is a really painful moment for every working-class writer who begged editors to publish our critiques of that fraudulent book we saw through immediately.

The same state that gave us JD Vance gave us this BS.
Oregon interception. Let’s protect those Big Ten manbaby feelings.
Despite numerous attempts to deactivate my account here, suspicious error messages leave me to believe that nobody is allowed to leave.
I’m over on the site that references sewing and I should be easily searchable (afraid to post any more info because of algos.)

And today, Joe Biden signed an Executive Order preventing 700,000 Teamsters from taking cuts of up to 75 percent of pension from ex-employers, and affirming that Sean O'Brien, @Teamsters president and special guest at the RNC, is a soulless, craven, back-stabbing mook.

Just heard from Fadi that I was the first journalist in Paris to interview him. That staggers me and it says so goddam much. He has a story unlike any athlete in Paris and yet remains deliberately unheard. Makes me want to holler.
Just interviewed Fadi Deeb, the only Palestinian Olympian from Gaza as well as the only Palestinian Paralympian. An incredibly kind, incredibly resilient human being. Thank you to @leylahamed for the introduction.

A little story about my #LifeBMemoir that I need to get off my psyche's shoulders:
Earlier this year a neighbor asked if I would be willing to speak with neighborhood book club, in June.
I said yes, put date on calendar. Thread. . .

Trump agreed on a September 10th debate.
It now appears he's backpedaling.
Voters deserve to see the split screen that exists on a debate stage.
I'm ready. So let's go.

Could not agree more. Brooks is an intellectual lightweight who's never worked a day in his life.

I will stop caring about JD Vance potentially fucking a couch when JD Vance stops caring about whether people who won't fuck him have children.
Until then, my official position is that people who can't be left alone in Raymour & Flanigan shouldn't be Vice President.
