Way too many folx are still proudly sharing their Substacks, so I am reminding folx that they remain a Nazi bar, and there are some decent newsletter alternatives like Ghost, Beehiiv, Buttondown, etc, so please finally exit the fucking Nazi bar that remains Substack as you can do much much better! 🙏🏽
Are you aware that Substack remains a Nazi bar?

Substack Has a Nazi Problem
The newsletter platform’s lax content moderation creates an opening for white nationalists eager to get their message out.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Hey, #Lynnwood, WA! A colleague of mine lost a necklace that is very important to her at our conference at Lynnwood Event Center last weekend (11/8).
It is a gold necklace with an uncut ruby that isn't quite facet grade so it's a pink/red color with lots of ridges.
Please share so this gets out!

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

The fact him or one of his staffers would post this on *this* platform is yet another sign of how unfit this man is to do anything other than retire.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

I’m tired of people acting like the shitty status quo is a fact of nature instead of something humans can change
The people in charge know that it’s not
That’s why they’ve put so much time, money, and effort into convincing us otherwise

This is probably not incorrect.
Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t constantly demand it happen and toss aside Democrats who won’t do it.
Some form of justice has to occur in order to move forward.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Extraordinary how many establishment Democrats really wish they didn't have a talented rising new star who connects to people by talking to them and understanding what their interests are, then speaking to those interests. Like a job where the new guy makes everyone look bad simply by doing the job.

Adam Ant is 71 today. Hard to emphasise how seismic this was in playgrounds across the country in 1980. For a period he was as big as any act has been. Was he the perfect pop star? I think so. It couldn't last but if you were there you'll never forget it.

It’s wild how casually we say “42 million people are on SNAP” like that’s just a normal statistic.
That’s 12% of the entire country—in the richest nation on earth—relying on government help just to eat.
That shouldn’t be a data point we shrug off.
That’s a national emergency.
