I don't wanna COUCH my words here: I know JD Vance, his eyeliner, and absent Ashley Moody are used to running away from people when things get tough because they care more about themselves and their billionaire buddies than the people they represent. But this is my home. /1

This is one of those headlines where, though they are becoming more and more common, it requires such a leap of imagination for normal people, that the scale of it is is hard to communicate. It’s like our world is screaming at us, but it’s in a frequency most of us can’t hear.

This is the meme I made in 2023 and posted on Facebook the day before I was kicked off FB because someone caused a denial of service attack on my account. This has never been resolved. Still super proud of this meme tho. #jacksmith

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Here’s my pledge. If the US goes super BLUE in November, I will take all the blue out of my language. No more f words. No more s words. No more anatomical name calling. It will be my personal effort to return civil discourse into a distinguished and dignified occupation again. Join me? Like if yes.

💚🇮🇪Today at the petrol station Micheál Martin arrived. I yelled “God bless you Micheál!” He started to walk over; I just yelled it again. He thanked me and he and his entourage of one other car left. Then a Traveller pony cart went by. I thought, where do we live? fairyland?!?!? Living in Ireland.🇮🇪💚

Macklemore can sue Robert Kraft for Tortious Interference for economic harm and I hope he does. Discovery would be fun: "Which other stadium owners did you talk to?" and "We need all related emails, text messages and contracts between you and them and you and Sheeran and Sheeran's team."
