Ah, the struggles of a good society. How very different than those in collapsing empires.

On the good side, if you've ever dropped popcorn or chips, your mousengers will clean up.

Sorry, I wasn't making light of this infestation! The cats are as likely to go missing (check the back corner of the big closet). There are disease risks w mice, not to be minimized by my sillyness. I hope you're able to deal with them soon!

I confess my ignorance of the law, but wouldn't ONE file of CSTrafficking be *sufficient* to indict, arrest, and bring to trial the suspect? Are we to believe that file content searches require-what-Braile conversion or resolving Helvetica v. Times New Roman disputes first?

Email from my grandfather, who likes to say he's lived for a third of the time that America has existed: "America was nice while it lasted, although it's really hard to believe a criminal narcissist TV show host that paints himself orange was all it took to take us down."

#MarginalTaxRate is the way to fund #MedicareForAll the way that civilizations do across the world. The US is a 3rd world nation of dazzled, partisan slaves...without the respect for our labor that slaves get.

Tell us what things are like in your neighborhood. Almost none of your followers live in DC. We live in our villages. Tell us about yours. That is how we hold the Republic together. To hell with DC. Tell me about your neighbors. I'll tell you about mine. That's what a United America looks like.

I don't denigrate anyone on the FO side of the FA equation. But how about, next time, looking at history rather than expedience?

When do you DO something to help. One more millionaire rich-splaining to me how bad I have it while nodding sagely at the others of the Avocado Toast Class. Please, Senator. Tell about that time you passed #MedicareForAll or #StudentLoanCancellation or #MarginalTaxRate or #GreenNewDeal

Right. I'm a DemSoc boomer. This is Ds keeping the $$$ coming. They don't really care much about policy, voters, or winning. Boomer to Gen Whatever. Born to lose elections bc apparently that's how the coastal "libs" stay rich.

As a fellow writer, this is critique, not criticism: Quite a list *and* far too long. Pick any 2, reveal a tension point in the piece they provoke. Bon chance on your release.

You're still thinking we have a functioning democracy here, with free and fair elections. That we'll even have midterm elections. That "will of the people" means much here anymore. To finish where I started: cudos for PM Starmer. Canada will remain my touchstone over winter.

Paul E Shinkle @paulshinkle.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
Your points are solid; respectfully, I have been pummeling my local, state, and national electeds with exactly them. We are woefully behind a robust resistance. Summer elections show DemSoc candidates winning. T is alienating his base. Too little, too late? Ur PM is the best voice for freedom rn.

Paul E Shinkle @paulshinkle.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
You might read the 2nd half of my post. Our midterm elections are closing in fast. Early elections are showing wins for Democratic Socialists. This is causing backlash from well-heeled Democrats who prefer a money-making staus quo. I'll support Starmer as I choose. We're fighting on all fronts here.

From an American and unabashed fan of Canada: I am sorry for who we have become. Many of us, maybe most of us, are doing our best with this coup. We aren't winning against fascism. But we're leaning into the defense of liberty as we can. And we do not forget our stalwart friend to the north.
