America: land of the free. Home of the expanding police state. And the “Don’t tread on me” crowd is suddenly silent.

Sunday overnight is the new top of the news-cycle, with the 1st circuit refusing Trump the stay he thought from having to make SNAP payments & now, Justice Jackson ordering briefs in SCOTUS. Get up to speed on what it all means here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

This is a classic form of voter intimidation—making people feel like it’s not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.
Breaking from NJ AG Platkin:

"Early this morning, law enforcement responded to threats that were received by email involving certain polling places in Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Passaic Counties. Law enforcement … have worked swiftly to secure these polling locations."

Hm. I think I’m gonna try sort of the inverse of this.

For the first 10 people who…

1) Watch my movie *Hide and Creep* on Tubi (or at least send me a photo of it playing on your TV)

2) Recommend the movie to a friend

I’ll donate $20 to a food bank of your choice.
Joining the cause: For the first 10 people to reply here with a verification that you donated at least $20 to a food bank, I’ll write a feature-length review of the movie of your choosing (presuming I have access to it; back-up choices may be necessary) to be completed before year end.

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Why every website you used to love is getting worse

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

@maklelan.bsky.social Hey Dan, I don't know how feasible this would be (or your interest), but I would love to hear a discussion between you and Richard Carrier about the Christ Myth Theory.

Dear national media: Instead of using photos of LBJ signing the Voting Rights Act, use this one of its bi-partisan reauthorization. It does more to show how far we’ve regressed in a few short years.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
