No spoilers but there’s a page in this week’s JUDGE DREDD: AND TO THE SEA RETURN which might be the best thing Henry Flint’s ever done, and puts the whole story in an entirely new light.

"Andy Ngo and other far right extremists have been targeting Avalos since at least as early as July and trying to paint her as violent and a 'member of Antifa.' On court record, Ngo has admitted that his social media posts can lead to violence."

It's projection from the right. All the way down.
Portland City Councilor @counciloravalos.bsky.social woke up to her car and home engulfed in flames late last night. She had to grab her cat and escape to safety.

to be honest I've always found it kinda fun to end up being a little bit crappy at whatever I try to do... Takes a lot of pressure off, and I feel like everyone can tell when you're doing something just for the love of the game

A commenter on my essay on the age of alt-weeklies left this comment from "This Woman Votes," which states my premise so much more powerfully than I could--in the fight against fascism, the urgency of stories that linger--that I added it to the post. slowcivilwar.substack.com/p/the-longfo...

JAWS really is the quintessential* 4th of July movie that shows you America. Everyone is stressed out about money and jobs while a giant shark keeps picking us off and it's going to take three people from very different backgrounds in a boat to end this

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president.

And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict.

This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.
Trump called Musk "a big-time drug addict" in a phone call shortly after their public feud. (WaPo)

PJ Harvey opening for U2 way back in the early 90s. (An Achtung Baby tour? I think so?) Her amp blew up three times during Sheela-Na-Gig. I’m old.
Who was the best opening act you've seen live?
