Folks, Giving Tuesday is around the corner and this is my yearly PSA that while you may be annoyed with nonprofits raising money that day, please be kind especially this year. It's been BRUTAL trying to raise money in 2025.

I understand the reasoning behind zeroing in on ICE & DHS abducting citizens. But when you lead with what's perceived as your most sympathetic cases, you cede the moral high ground & make arguing for others harder. It is wrong for armed, masked gestapo to grab people - doesn't matter their status.

A good friend told me a few weeks ago: "I thought I would be different under fascism but I'm just the exact same person and it's profoundly disappointing to me." I think this is a more widespread view than is publicly discussed. I think that disappointment in ourselves is morphing into negativity.

Trump take bourbon.
As someone who enjoys an occasional Manhattan or Old Fashioned, the downturn in the bourbon business is a double-edged sword. US prices are likely to drop as producers liquidate excess inventory ... and a number of distillers will close their doors. #bourbon #whiskey

Read this great piece by MP Stella Creasy on the UK abortion legislation. Just like here in the US, people keep advancing and celebrating half measures that fail to strike at the root!

“If you draw a line in the law, the state is going to police that line. That leads to surveilling, investigating, and ultimately punishing pregnant people.”
The Surprising Reason Nevada Hasn’t Repealed a 1911 Abortion Ban
The Silver State is the only one that criminalizes self-managed abortion. A bill to change that went nowhere.

NEW: Nevada is the only state to explicitly criminalize self-managed abortion—a woman charged under the 1911 law spent two years in jail after a stillbirth.
A lawmaker's repeal bill went nowhere. Sources say reproductive rights groups claimed it could impact passage of an abortion ballot measure.

To quote the Art of War (bc this is a war against fascism) “tactics without strategy is noise before defeat”. There’s a lot of noise in Missouri rn. My latest column:
Direct democracy alone won’t create change in Missouri • Missouri Independent
The Missouri Legislature is as predictable as a Kardashian divorce. It’s the shock and awe of Democrats and progressives that confuses me.
