Detroiter Nicole Williams when asked if Abdul El-Sayed is ‘a bit too left wing to win in Michigan’: “At this point what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have. We're on our way to hell, so at this point: socialist, socialize, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living!”

This afternoon, my husband & I walked up to a newish pharmacy in our neighbourhood to get flu & Covid shots. The pharmacy is located in a long-vacated branch of the Royal Bank, in a slightly tatty strip mall. The young pharmacist told us he emigrated to Canada 10 years ago, from Nigeria via the UK.

one big priority for the next Dem congress should be knocking over the Ellison empire somehow. it's plenty rickety

Obama’s Cheesecake Factory decor joke is going to continue to get far more play in the media, days after it happened, than RFK Jr being openly racist. Draw your own conclusions about the press based on that.

“One of the problems we’re having in America is that there are a lot of people who are still under the if-but-for Netanyahu fantasy” Ta-Nehisi Coates on the inherent racism of Zionism. From the powerful conversation between Coates, Tareq Baconi and Nesrine Malik last week.

Is it really a Culture War when one side has no discernible culture?

You can do the same thing, buying a house and borrowing against it—ha ha, just kidding, normal people get taxed annually on their wealth via property taxes, the "you can't tax wealth, the economy will collapse!" rule applies solely to the super-rich.

I have court documents from a Trump and Epstein mid-1990s child rape case in my 2020 book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT, which was a bestseller. Folks pretending they just learned about this are full of it. They refused to pursue it and let victims suffer in silence, fearing no one cared to hear the truth.

Not a big story, it's just the Attorney General working with an imprisoned pedophile to help cover up the pedophile President's crimes conducted with his best friend for 15 years, a pedophile who the President sent, as a birthday card, a drawing of a naked adolescent girl.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Very keen to hear Mickey Amery explain how the hiring of his cousin Sam Mraiche's nephews would square with this DEI policy, and for Danielle Smith to explain what experience Michaela Frey, who stepped aside to give her a seat in Brooks, had to be hired in the premier's office as a policy advisor.

MJ: In the last six decades, there’s compelling evidence that they’ve tried to rig national elections at least five other times – in 1968, 1972, 1980, 2000, and 2020. Most of these plots you know about; some you may not. open.substack.com/pub/stopthep...

The internet can be pretty gullible about tech products, but congrats to everyone who called exactly what this was going to be used for from the first moment they saw it.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

There can never be another "water under the bridge" administration ever again, and part of that is going to involve shaming everyone on board with this one - voters included - as the disgusting pig racists they are

Practicing Grace by knowing there is a ton of overlap but still asking MAGA folks if they identify as the Nazi kind or the Rape kind.

It's really damning. The accusations are numerous and well-supported. But I was really struck by the descriptions of Trump's behavior -- the name dropping, strong-arming, and attempts to buy off silence. His gross rivalry with Epstein. It's all so familiar. It's shit he's been doing his entire life.

Elizabeth Holmes is not the face of motherhood for incarcerated women. Jazmin Valentine wailed in agony for 6 hours in labor while staff and nurses LAUGHED at her. She had to resort to sliding her amniotic sac under her cell door to prove she was in labor.

the one who had to tell him. He was so instantly struck. "No. I wasn't supposed to outlive him. He was supposed to be Checkov. That's not fair." He told me about getting to meet him & we had a pretty heavy talk about life & death. A beautiful soul. Our world is a bit dimmer without his light today.

Walter Koenig and I were guests at the same convention a decade ago. At lunch the first day he asked if he could join me and Jess, and I was like, of fucking course. We ended up hanging out and chatting all weekend. Wonderful man. Sadly was the weekend Anton Yelchin passe and I ended up being...

New details about another rape allegation against Trump, this time from a former Miss Switzerland.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Reposting as Canadian, where the independence of my country is threatened because of polling data from an Ohio diner.

I spoke to the mom of the 3-year-old soccer star who was left "thinking he did something wrong" after a league official called police "due to a disturbance between parents" The youth sports league said they launched a review and reached out to the family

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

The achievements of the Serbian student movement will be studied for decades. This was their blueprint for revolution. The recipe for throwing a corrupt authoritarian from office. Read, learn, implement. (📸 Save and Saclony)

Note the key phrase "so many people." Yglesias thinks it's fine—good in fact—that American billionaires are very interested in foreign elections and routinely influence them to promote corruption and fascism. His concern is that filthy plebs like you and me might want better things for everyone.

We should check and see if this wasn't just a pre-scheduled meeting on the Klan calendar.

This is one good example of how appropriations hardball can work if you're willing to not blink first. Another: take your pick for demands and restrictions on funding Executive Office of the President. Yes, literally defund the White House. EOP is the central hub of the assault on the Constitution.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

‼️ SO many myths about immigrants. ⚠️ Don't believe the hateful lies (looking at you Alberta UCP 👀) Migrants use significantly less NHS care than they effectively pay for, analysis finds www.bmj.com/content/395/... "...pay 60% more towards the NHS than the cost of healthcare they use."

I think this becomes quite understandable in the context of an international fascist movement that has swept much of the planet in a decade, with horrifying and very extreme consequences for the entire species

AK's had more notice but CA is more worrying. Equally insane and delusional as litigation, but CA tells us something: It doesn't have any close races so it's not about flipping a seat or two. There's only one reason to target CA: it has enough House seats to cover the margin of any Dem majority.

The fact that we've agreed to call these gambling sites "prediction markets" furthers their bullshit. They predict nothing and it's a disgrace that news orgs have partnered with them and pretend they have news value. THEY'RE JUST A BUNCHA LOSERS GAMBLING.
