I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

contemporary conservatives don't do sustained protest, they do terrorism. because to sustain protest you need to care about things, and to do terrorism it is sufficient merely to hate things

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.
I wrote a bit about the misguided effort by Democrats to replicate Joe Rogan the right-wing podcast ecosystem.

A hint of positive news!
!!! The NC Board of Elections reveals that EVEN IF it throws out all the votes contested by Jefferson Griffin and the state Supreme Court, Justice Allison Riggs is STILL on track to narrowly win the race. HUGE news from @bryanranderson.bsky.social: andersonalerts.substack.com/p/riggs-supr...

WOW. Watch a constitutional law expert completely DEBUNK Republicans’ censorship crusade, while articulating exactly how Donald Trump is threatening freedom of speech. 🔥

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?
