It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

If we’ve learned anything these past few years, it's that:

1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires
2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers
3) Poverty is a policy choice
4) Health care is a human right
5) Strikes work

Let's keep fighting for a better world.

HEY I'll be offline 'til 1/2. In the meantime, I FINALLY signed up for StoryGraph. It'll take a LONG time to add all the books I've read (if I can even remember them all). My challenge: by 2027, add everything I've read since opening the store + earlier reads that I still love. tinyurl.com/yst3y5uf

IDK if anyone's into checking out what the bookseller reads, but if you are then I'll be updating the list throughout the year.

I won't have time to do full reviews, but I'll at least rate the books. I'll probably add a short take to most of them, too 👍🏼

Here in the Midwest, data centers threaten to suck up fresh water from our Great Lakes. Just one of may examples includes a Microsoft plant now under construction near Racine, WI that is expected to use upwards of 8 MILLION gallons a day. A day! That is not okay.
Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

We are closing in on $3,000 for our worker-run trans newsroom. Every donation helps get us closer to that and our final goal — and funds hard-hitting journalism.
Our winter fund drive is on. Consider a tax-deductible donation to support TNN (and get a gift).

Our reporting is in-depth, hard-hitting and unrepentantly radical.

Your donations go to keeping trans journalists out of poverty and informing our communities, which is now more important than ever.
This winter, please consider a tax-deductible donation in support of Trans News Network!

"Biden debate bad" was still LEADING the NYT **3 weeks** later & was only knocked off front page by Trump getting shot. They can create & sustain front-page news out of thin air, when they want to!

But Trump's visibly declining physical & mental health gets zero coverage. None at all.

Good morning, all!

I slept a BUNCH & spent some very nice time with my family. Now it's back to work!*

My FIRST task is to finish shipping last week's orders. Then I'll start on this list. I'm excited to get to it! Watch this space for updates.

*with lots of rest breaks planned, for once 😅

SO, when I was 30 I could push through 6 weeks of 8-to-18-hour days with no breaks, no problem! Especially if I knew a solid break was coming at the end of that.

Today my body shook me like a rag doll & reminded me I am fifty-six whole-ass years old, and that is no longer A Thing In My Wheelhouse.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.

When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Kind of wild how the take that some of Trump's supporters were "deplorable" was some huge scandal, but regularly screaming about "radical left scum" is just a thing he'll say with no media backlash.

I firmly believe we're going to survive this era -- broken, hobbled, with decades of rebuilding that will not be finished in my lifetime -- but we are going to survive and every asshole who collaborated in the effort to destroy this country will forever wear the stain of it.

Yesterday played out exactly as many expected a cover-up. When 119 pages of grand jury documents are released entirely redacted, that goes far beyond protecting victims’ identities. A court ordered these records released, yet what the public received was effectively nothing.

This is more of a coverup than an actual release of the Epstein Files.
I guess Epstein isn’t in the Epstein files.

FOUR new deaths in ICE detention. That puts the total this year at 30 people dead; the highest in ICE's history and worse than even during the COVID years.

It's clear that the system is breaking down. Many of these are preventable deaths.
In the 90 minutes since I posted this, I've gotten two more death notifications.

ICE has a responsibility to take care of these people, something they are clearly disregarding. This is beyond horrifying. We must ensure dignity and humanity for detained people in this country.
Within 15 minutes today, I got two back-to-back notifications of deaths at ICE facilities.

28 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. These facilities are overcrowded & are putting their own profits over health and safety. We need oversight & accountability NOW.

This is why we do not and will never carry any JKR or Galbraith books at our store. We don't even put them on our free table. Any of her books that we receive as donations are destroyed, right alongside Nazi apologia and evangelical tracts 👍🏼
JK Rowling is destroying children's lives. Stop buying her shit, watching her shows, playing her games. You're funding her hate campaign. Move on.
Article in the Times today.

JKR has set her pre action attack team on a school supporting trans youth.

A father is threatening to sue for allowing trans children to use the loo they‘ve always used.

“I don’t wish trans people any ill”, he says, after casting them as voyeurs and sexual predators.
