If we just offer up 2 or 3 of our children to the Hungry Wolf that prowls outside our village, I'm sure he'll leave us alone after that

this may be controversial but if we do wind up holding Nuremberg 2.0, can we also purge the guy from the Liberty Mutual commercials? The one they think looks like Tom Cruise.

Real, "we killed Osama bin Laden, thus defeating him" energy here

we've moved from "shooting yourself in the dick" to "pouring lemon juice into the hole you shot in your dick"

The conditions at the Mesa Gateway Airport ICE concentration camp are torturous. The severe overcrowding reported by Reps Ansari, Grijalva & Stanton earlier this month were about double the max capacity and people could barely sit down then.

He would have loved Vietnam. He shouldn't have gotten that doctor's note.

I’m losing it reading about journalists having meltdowns bc someone in the same building as them on a different floor and the other side of a secure perimeter had a gun. Cannot wait for everyone to move on.

The issue IS NOT whether the correspondents dinner would be held in the ballroom. What the headline SHOULD say is: “Trump and allies waste money on unnecessary luxury instead of spending on healthcare /education. Ballroom will solve problem, not gun control.” So sick of media ignoring the issue.

"Revolt, General Strike, May Day!!!" Seen in Minneapolis, Minnesota

How do you know that Trump is a dangerous demagogue? It's the ad baculum.

Remarkably high number, given how relatively marginal most of the GOP’s “divisive concepts” are in most disciplines.

I am approaching the Outlook Event Horizon -- the moment when I have to re-log in every single time I need to check a message. I expect by October I will have to log in four, five times to read any one message.

please no more dinner talk

Because of course they did. 🙄

Ahem.

Spoke to NPR about what we do and don’t know about the suspect in the WHCD shooting www.npr.org/2026/04/27/n...

Article explaining why it's easy to believe that the thwarted shooting at the WH Correspondents' dinner on Saturday was staged (because everying seems like kayfabe when so much of what we see is) — and why that "staged" belief is almost certain wrong: www.thedailybeast.com/i-get-why-pe...

Museum: Could you come and perhaps bring a few things to teach our visitors about what life was like during the war? Me: Sure!

I know I complain a lot about the Victorians, but at least they looked much better while committing and being the victim of crime, than we do today.

I know that I, as a history addict, am prejudiced, but I really do think that if everyone in the world got proper evidence based basic history lessons, a large percentage of all the problems we're dealing with in the world today could be avoided.

Tomorrow I go back to work after a week of caring for my parents after my dad had brain surgery. I told my uncle that this kind of care work isn't dissimilar from the movement work I do every day, but goodness is it easier without the particular expectations that come with family. Anyway, onward.

Stop talking about it. Yes you know what I am talking about.

Katy Tur owes her fame to Donald Trump going ballistic at her for just reporting what he said & did and then not backing down trying to appease him. Can't even frickin' remember her own origin story. 🙄

"The results suggest that, in the first few months after vaccination (September–December 2025), this year’s vaccines were 53–55% effective against hospitalizations among the study’s population of adults without immune compromise." insidemedicine.substack.com/p/exclusive-...

Pretend adults say "Be reasonable, compromise" or "Don't ask, that'll never happen," but they have the patience & long-term vision of a two-year old.

We're not here to persuade evil motherfuckers. We're here to fight & EXPOSE evil motherfuckers.

One wonders what Bari thinks is the point of this half-assed cover-up of Trump's mendacity and incoherence. Everyone already knows that Trump is a shit-thick, bigoted, pathological liar with galloping senile dementia. They either know and don't care or know and can't do anything about it.

Nah, it's getting Rothko'ed at scale

Almost 7 million adults live in NYC. The air taxis seat...four. What am I missing? youtu.be/IOSIfvQVi3k?...

This happens when social systems indulge, elevate, and insulate their most morbidly sick and destructive elements, and leave intact no effective legal, democratic, or even establishment mechanisms for change.

Already have another update on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. They are painting over the bright blue that Doug Burgum originally shared. Unclear if the brighter blue is some kind of primer and this was always the plan, or if they changed the color.

I feel like Substack is just an even more corporatized 2010-era Facebook. Fragmentation forever!

Imagine calling Renee Good and Alex Pretti “domestic terrorists” and calling immigrants “animals” then turning around and telling people they are the ones who need to “tone down their rhetoric.”

On a podcast last week, election denier David Clements said many people he's "talked to are ... national security clearance types" who've "closely worked in conjunction with Tulsi Gabbard & ODNI," & Trump's "messaging seems to be in lockstep with the findings that we've made" about election fraud.

To date, MAHA groups have endorsed 25 GOP candidates. Of the 10 who have completed primaries, MAHA candidates won 8, lost 2. 5 of the 8 GOP primary winners were incumbents.

New: President Trump lied on TV about the origins of Unite the Right, feeding his base a narrative that "Southern Law" did it. But the white supremacists who planned UtR still talk about their involvement and the facts aren't up for debate. Me: michaeledisonhayden.substack.com/p/white-supr...

One of the most baffling things in our time is watching people in power roll back environmental protections, healthcare, and food assistance, then hearing others say, “they care about me.”

Very interesting article on the revival of meme based Francoism. Includes influence on RAC bands

Many people are talking about a general strike for May Day. How do we shut down the economy in 2026, when it functions much differently than it did in time of the original general strikes? Here, we propose some some starting places for action and offer a handbill promoting them.

Tried Nirvana out on the two year-old and she spent the entire composter pick up trip yelling "too loud" But then on the trip to the preschool she started singing along to Smells Like Teen Spirit so I think I won

Delts starting to delt.

The Trump ballroom obsession seems psychological. He's had multiple attempts on his life. It's become harder for him to physically move around. He has to live in a city that hates him, and wants to leave his mark on it. And he thinks people should be forced to come to him, not the other way around.
