I should be threading all of this, but what makes the "he was just faithfully executing the laws" particularly absurd is that a president has nothing to do with elections.

Nothing. That was intentional.

It's the business of Congress, state governments, and the courts to resolve disputes.

That's because a president may be running for reelection.

The drafters of the Constitution didn't htink of everything, but they thought of that.

Don't know why this has to be said but if you don't remove nazis from your platform then you are a nazi platform

it's that time of year when I remind y'all that the Salvation Army actively works to stamp out LGBTQ people with legislation and political support

Happy Holidays!

From the Orlando Sentinel today. What it’s like in DeSantistan.

TL;DR Nazi punks fuck off, sex workers and porn artists are cool, Substack management are spineless cowards.

@Julie I hear you, friend. Hope you are getting breaks from the news, taking walks, looking at art, whatever reminds you of the not terrible.

The problem with ignoring the rise of fascism or deciding it’s not your problem is that when it actually becomes a problem for you it’s way too late to prevent it.

This is why it’s so important that you need to do what you can right now.

Here’s three things you can—realistically—do:

Jury finds 3 officers not guilty in Manuel Ellis' 2020 death https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/jury-finds-3-officers-not-guilty-in-manuel-ellis-2020-death/ar-AA1lRWd2?ocid=socialshare

No matter how cool you are and how much I like your writing, I won't be clicking on your Substack link ever again. You know why.

Move platforms or say goodbye to me as a potential audience forevermore.

Feel free to share if you're in the same boat.

Thoughts and a plea.

I wanna that supper cool Internet back.

2000s.

Everything is searchable. Search results are satisfying, everyone is having fun on the Internet. Ideas are freely shared.
Folks, what happened? Now everyday I am doing my search and I am petrified. I am not satisfied with my search even on the sixth page. I have never opened the second page of the search in my entire life.
All social platforms are being banned, censored. Even through a monitor you don't feel save anymore.
Did I miss something? Did the Interned move out somewhere? Can I get an invitation please?

So guys any thoughts what is going on and what to do about it?

I had forgotten that the 14th Amendment was used last year to remove a county sheriff candidate from the ballot because of his participation in the #Jan6 insurrection. Notable, even though legal issues involved Trump. aren’t quite the same. https://flip.it/.2egoQ #LawFedi #14thAmendment

Some days you just want to lie in bed with an emotionally needy cat purring away on your chest.

Good morning friends, it's Thursday or I think it is. I'm not sure how the rest of you feel but I'm ready to get the holiday weekend started! I don't want any presents, my gift is time away from work with the people I care about. So two more days in the salt mines then I'm out!

Have a good day everyone! Mine started with this sunrise and a mug of coffee so it started pretty damn good.
