Swear to God I'm not a robot, or at least don't think I am. Used to be certain I wasn't, but then took to wondering what kind of idiot I'd feel like if it turned out, later on, I'd actually been one all along. So, hineni, a human person, pretty sure.

On Disintegration and Return (part 1)
A Form for Living
open.substack.com
Given this moment of national disintegration, here's the first in a series of posts about disintegration and how we might make our way back from it (first post looks at this idea on a personal level, the next posts will get into the same idea on national, cultural, and societal levels)

Queens runs this city.
And that’s why I’m running for Congress in NY-6.
Because it's time to give power back to the working people of the world's borough.

We don't need Trump or Bondi to sift through the stack and tell America what they think is “credible” in the Epstein files. Thanks, but no thanks—we’ll decide ourselves. The president should stop playing us for fools and suckers. Release everything—now.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

does anyone know: can individual members of Congress sue the President? Personal harms caused seem pretty plain to see -- emotional distress, coercion, retaliation, violent threat. (if they use "novel" legal theories, can't dems?)
