Nurses have been walking out at several hospitals across the country to protest against Prime Healthcare — and a new day of action is planned for September 15. Why isn't the mainstream media covering this? eclecticmisc.substac...

First there was the Gulf of Mexico becoming the “Gulf of America.” Now Trump has signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America.” Is there really nothing more important for him to do?

The big winner in this year's primaries: the progressive movement. The big loser: AIPAC. Track AIPAC highlighted 45 races where the candidate refusing AIPAC money (mostly progressives & DSA candidates) beat out their AIPAC-backed opponent. Voters are waking up to the corruption!

Leave it to the media to turn what was a week of impressive wins by progressive & DSA candidates into a focus on one razor-thin loss. What they don't realize is the more they cover & try to villify the true Left, the more people are interested in kicking the corrupt establishment out.

The Free Press and others in mainstream media are trying to tell us we should be happy cities are putting Flock cameras everywhere to track all of us without a warrant. Spying on everyone 24/7 is creepy and illegal. #flock #flockoff #surveillance #bigbrother #privacy

What the difference between AI and a politician? AI makes crazy sh*t up accidentally. A politician is paid off by donors to *purposely* tell us crazy sh*t. Not saying AI should take over— I for one do NOT welcome our AI overlords—but hallucination & corruption aren’t the same.

The energy was off the charts when Rep. Summer Lee took the mic in Memphis. She didn't hold back on Elon Musk or establishment politics. She talked about real solutions to address real economic pain. 🧵

Memphis is now Ground Zero for the fight against gerrymandering after the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. I was at Justin J. Pearson's huge rally to get out the vote, which also featured speeches by AOC, Summer Lee, and Ayanna Pressley. 🧵

This was on a slide from a US State Department presentation they gave in Rio de Janeiro earlier this week. Can you spot which of these African countries is labeled wrong? (Hint: it’s kind of a trick question.) #geography #trivia #maps #oops

I don't want the Trump admin spying on me. You don't want Democrats spying on you. So we all agree — the government should not be spying on us, no matter who's in power. #flocks #surveillance #spy

The reaction to the Mitch McConnell hospital photo shows just how deep our collective AI paranoia has gotten. But is that paranoia justified? When we can't believe our eyes about what’s fake or real, how do we navigate the news? Link below 👇

In this week's Finally Fridays on Substack, I cover what led to the end of the ceasefire, two more fatal shootings at the hands of the so-called Memphis "Safe" Task Force, and how I tried to find my inner soccer fan while fans tried to find their way to the stadium. Link below👇

Continuing the war with Iran isn’t going to benefit the US in any way. The real lesson to learn from this is not that we should attack Iran in hopes of bringing gas prices down a few cents. It is time to stop attacking Iran and find a path towards a long-term peace. 🧵

Summer Lee, AOC, and Ayanna Pressley are coming to Memphis next Friday (July 17) to stump and help get out the vote for Justin J. Pearson. Here is Pearson laying out his vision for Tennessee’s District 9 and the country if he gets elected to Congress. #memphis #progressive #aoc #democrats

A majority of Americans don’t want our money going to fund Israel’s immoral, offensive wars that do absolutely nothing to help our national security. We need Democratic leadership to actually *lead* on this issue and stop aiding and abetting the crimes of our “special ally.” #israel

Disappointing that AOC has chosen to endorse Hakeem Jeffries—a centrist establishment Democrat—for Speaker. This primary season voters are saying loud & clear they want the kind of change progressives & DSA candidates can bring, NOT more centrists like Jeffries and party insiders. #AOC #socialism

The Supreme Court just handed down some more bad decisions today, on top of other horrible ones this year. None of our branches of government represent the will of the people right now. It might take decades to undo the damage this Supreme Court is doing. #supremecourt #news

What an exciting change now that Mamdani & DSA candidates are taking on the Democratic establishment and actually winning. Voters want new leaders—not corporate-friendly insiders and donors—who will bring us real change on affordability, taxing the super wealthy, Israel & more.

They still haven’t released the details of what happened Feb. 28, 2026 when an Iranian elementary school was bombed, killing 175 kids, parents, teachers, and emergency workers. If the US wasn’t responsible, why won’t they investigate and tell us the facts?

Anything Trump touches just eventually gets worse and worse… Millions of taxpayer dollars, all that paint and hydrogen peroxide, 80+ dead ducks — and the reflecting pool looks way worse than ever. Let's hope he doesn't f up the 4th of July.

Breaking news—the Strait of Hormuz is closed again, because Israel refuses to stop attacking and occupying Lebanon. The US and Iran both want the war to end. Israel is the ONLY reason there isn’t peace right now. #lebanon #israel #iranwar

The Democratic establishment must be tearing their hair out right now since it looks like Janeese Lewis George—a democratic socialist—is going to win the Dem. primary for Washington, D.C. mayor. How much do you want to bet they'd rather have a Republican than a democratic socialist as mayor?

The war is over!** **Fine print: Refers to a 60-day "ceasefire"—not peace. Full terms not disclosed. All parties must abide by agreement or it becomes null & void. Israel has said it is not bound by the agreement. Does not include nuclear deal. May be ended at any time via insane Truth Social post.

Processing the insanity of the daily news cycle is one of the factors behind my first adult ADHD impulse buy: one of those viral TikTok squishy dumpling fidgets. I'm breaking down these three stories in today's issue of Finally Fridays—link below! eclecticmisc.substack.com/p/graham-pla...

Meanwhile, a new TN law forces AI data centers to pay for their own power grid upgrades. It's a good start, but it doesn't give communities a voice in whether they actually want a data center in their backyard, or the major environmental impact. 🧵

The political establishment spent months running a witch hunt against progressive veteran Graham Platner. The decision of Maine Dem. voters was clear — a massive 72% landslide victory for Platner and against the Epstein class. 🧵

We currently have U.S. forces launching a new round of airstrikes overseas — while the White House is using seven different federal agencies to stage a literal UFC cage match in an octagon on the South Lawn. You can't make this stuff up…

A GOP operative was behind both the tattoo & the sexting stories. The GOP, Dems, & legacy media mischaracterized both. People have a right to judge him based on both issues, but it was blown up to be more than that (like this poll). But yes, I think many ppl thought his pros outweigh his cons

Fun fact: 72% of Maine Democratic voters have zero F's to give about the Epstein class's smear campaign against Graham Platner.

Netanyahu's open defiance of Trump last night was so bad even the legacy media had to call it out (well, at least some of them did). How long will the new ceasefire last?
