Gavin Newsom has the exact appearance and energy of the mayor in an 80s crime film who winds up at the end of the movie saying “Good detective work, Sergeant Bolan … too good” and then pulling a pistol. This is also who he actually is down to his bones.
"We're going to get" Greenland, threatens the President of the United States. Totally normal.
There’s only one headline

Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.
And once he complies they should issue the exact same ultimatum about something else. They need to treat his presidency as illegitimate, which is what it is.

Grateful my best friend has never been accused of being unfit and dangerous by a former national intelligence chairman 🤷♀️
This is ALSO a reminder to ME, Emily St. James. Some things will be awful, and some things will be okay, and we all gotta find a way through this life together.
Also, Conclave is a lot of fun, but I don't know if it was "Watch it two times!" levels of fun for me.

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later
Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner
These are the same picture.
Tweet sent out 14 hours BEFORE the DC mid air collision by Thomas Schaller on X: “An FAA employee I know confirms agency already lacks sufficient air traffic controllers.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

It’ll always be the Gulf of Mexico.
