Reminder that your platforms/audiences are your stage. when you see a clear grift or rage bait, showing them off to MORE people just helps the grift. Attention is what they want. When you give them your stage, it's free advertising.

Your stage and time are precious. Don't give them to a grifter.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti.
Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti: We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans.

Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror.

Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.

The documents indicate that in nearly all instances, the arrests of the students were recommended based on their involvement in campus protests and public writings, activities that the Trump administration routinely equated to antisemitic hate speech and support for terrorist organizations. They also show that officials privately anticipated the possibility that the deportations might not hold up in court because much of the conduct highlighted could be seen as protected speech.

Great explanation of the right-wing media landscape that encourages half the US to back Trump, with a clear-eyed reminder that “His floor is 34%. He’s above it. He’s been above it for almost his entire political career.” cmarmitage.substack.com/p/how-do-39-...

i'm sure all podcasts now get constant AI-generated interview requests to their email, but our podcast is so stupid that even the AI is like "uhhh i don't really know how to transition this but fuck it"
Alex, Jeremy, and Clare, Your latest episode of Quorators gave me pause, especially when you explored whether hitting your bones against hard surfaces can make them stronger. That playful curiosity about how people look for healing in unexpected places reminded me of Salima Adelstein, whose perspective on inner wellbeing is both surprising and practical. As the only female Shadhiliyya Sufi guide in the US and co-founder of the University of Sufism, Salima has spent the past 35 years guiding over 4000 students—including medical and healing

Cow Tools!

We have lived alongside cows for nearly 10,000 years.
We breed them and exploit them

It is now, only now, that we have discovered THEY CAN USE TOOLS
