👀 hmmm, seems like if some people can leave substack then others could follow their example.
I want to talk about my move from Substack to Ghost for a second, and what it's been like working with a nonprofit tech company that actually lives its values.
Especially if you're a writer still on Subtack, please read. 1/x
First of all, about the org: They are a nonprofit, I just met employee +

Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.
ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

We’re in a moral fight, and Democrats in Congress need to start acting like the opposition party on every 👏🏽 damn 👏🏽 thing 👏🏽
Opposition isn’t about polite press releases and sad cable hits. It’s about using every procedural tool available to slow, expose, and force accountability.

🌡️ Warmer with lighter winds, and mostly sunny skies. Highs will be near 50° in Denver, about 15° warmer than yesterday.
❄️ A cold front tonight will bring a chance for light snow/flurries around Denver and notably colder temps for tomorrow (highs near 40°).

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

Another day, another betrayal of the Constitution meriting impeachment
About 1,500 soldiers w/ 11th Airborne Division in Alaska have been placed on prepare-to-deploy orders with a mission in Minnesota in mind, defense officials tell me tonight. Unclear if some or all of them ultimately will go.
News reported tonight by ABC News, too.

Hi Donald, should you execute your ridiculous tariffs plan re. Greenland, do say goodbye to:
-US military bases in Europe'
-European investments in the U.S., give or take USD 14.5 trillion;
-Airline flights to Europe;
-U.S. tourist visa to Europe.
Want more? Just say so. We'd be happy to oblige.

People criticizing the lack of proper training that ICE have received, and arguing that “training reform” is required, might be missing the point that ICE is doing exactly what the Trump regime wants them to do in exactly the way they want them to do it.
