Much love to my writer friends, but please stop using Substack. I get the appeal, but there's no reason to get that company involved.

This should be the bare minimum for any national dems from here on out. It will of course not be. We will hear so much about ICE reform.

San Francisco Bay Area, PLEASE retweet - here's the front desk phone number for KPIX. It's buried deep in the website. 415-362-5550. Press #3 to leave a comment. Call them, say you are boycotting all CBS and Paramount properties until Bari Weiss is replaced
Just as in the case of Jimmy Kimmel's suspension, a consumer backlash is now underway: CBS fans are hearing about the "60 Minutes" imbroglio and calling/emailing local CBS stations to register their concerns. "We have no real support," a reporter at one of those stations told me.

The early web was driven by curiosity & openness, not monetization.

Audrey Witters reflects on that era, using her now-famous animated alien GIF as an example of how playful, freely-shared work helped shape digital culture & why preserving it matters.

Gonna print this out and stick it to my wall every time a person says that "the market will crash" or "innovation will be stifled" because of the smallest tax increase for the wealthy.

Imagine: 7 years developing a rich narrative universe, complex character arcs, millions of readers, never monetizing it — then 20 years on no one remembers it because it was just a Sprite Comic.

Good morning! Woke to find that it’s apparently now December, winter solstice within touching distance!
Somehow I know I’ll dreaming of the light all day!
Happy new month to you!

The victory of progressive candidates is a byproduct of our work caring for one another and building a better world, not the goal of our work.

I'm ecstatic over Zohran's election, but I agree, and people need to prepare for how much opposition there will be from the machine.

Being very vocal and organized for the policies (less the politician) is VERY important, otherwise Zohran will just be this century's John Purroy Mitchel.
Zohran's success will hinge equally on what he is ABLE to do and how effectively he messages to voters when the federal govt of wealthy interests / police, etc in NYC deliberately sabotage things.

we've seen this shit in oregon with elites lining up to torpedo progressive measures
The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line.

My former proximity to this one moment of ICE barbarism is not the point—the point is they’re enacting violence all over the city. It’s like nothing I’ve seen before.

Witness video shared to Facebook shows feds swiftly grabbing someone off the street at Lawrence and Kedzie this morning and putting them in an unmarked car. Locals know this is a busy intersection, the beating heart of Albany Park:
