What a great victory, I've been following this closely 🌱
"An Ontario court has struck down part of a Mississauga bylaw that requires homeowners to keep their lawns below 20 centimetres, in a victory for natural gardeners who argue the municipal rules violate charter rights."

I don't like the way my neighbour Adam down the road mows his lawn and he's got a pool too, so today I am going to go take over his property, which is a very righteous and brave thing for me to do.

The newsletter has really struggled to attract new subscribers since I left Substack - while the monthly churn (existing subscribers canceling their subscription) has gone up significantly.

But the country needs a democratic transformation rather than merely a restoration of the pre-Trump status quo.

America is no longer a democracy. Authoritarianism has not won. But merely restoring the pre-Trump status quo won’t work. The country needs a democratic transformation.

New from me: The mysterious tale of Bill Pulte and a memecoin named after Zack Morris from Saved by the Bell www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Bill Pulte promoted a memecoin run by an influencer facing fraud charges
“Getting involved in that space,” said one expert, “is not the best sign of sound financial judgment.”
