TAKE THIS DOWN IT IS FAKE.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIXED FEELINGS?
So the womenβs team only inspires the next generation of girls to play hockey but the menβs team inspires all Americans, got it got it got it.
Trump Administration Officials Describe A Routine School Drop-Off
Me too
That last line ...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.
Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.
Sanders: These projects have been appropriated. They were signed by a president. It is illegal to rescind them. And to say to people in Vermont, in New York and California, oh, you didn't vote for Donald Trump, we're going to take away funding that was supposed to go to your state⦠illegal
The "common good" is a set of shared values about what we owe one another as citizens who are bound together in the same society. A concern for the common goodβkeeping the common good in mindβis a moral attitude. It recognizes that weβre all in it together.
Missed the game, saw this, and then held my breath as I checked the score to see in what direction you were screaming. Whew! Then looked at the box score and pitching lines, and yeah, wow. Screaming time indeed!
A Substack model is fine for one person writing, but hundreds of writers, researchers, photographers, etc, produce this news, and they deserve to be paid for their labor. It would be nice if your model could achieve that, but I don't see that it would.

Just for those who may be a little confused: This is how an American president should treat Putin.
βPutin would eat you for lunch.β
Today, exactly that happened.
Good morning. Trump is protecting Epstein files. The confederacy lost and they were traitors, mRNA vaccines are the future, cops shouldnβt wear masks, Trump cut taxes for the rich and ripped benefits from the poor.
Have a weekend
Brilliant.
CBS canceled Colbert. Now thatβs cancel culture.
Writing is thinking.
Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies canβt keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.
Musk cannot be βturnedβ, βflippedβ, βalliedβ with. He is a Nazi and heβs killed 300,000 people, mostly children. Anyone considering taking his political contributions or discussing allying with him has no moral compass nor should they be near power.
That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists β and that they both individually wield such massive power β is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

"Well, we are all going to die." --Senator Joni Ernst
That has to be the glibbest way any politician has ever told a constituent that they didnβt give a shit about them.
GOP legislatures in Alaska, Nebraska, and Missouri are trying overturn voter-approved referenda requiring paid sick leave.
And in 9 other red states, Republican lawmakers are trying to restrict citizen-led ballot measures altogether.
The GOP can't stand the will of the people.
I have listened to and enjoyed @podsaveamerica.crooked.com for many years, and respected the guys knowledge and thinking, but when I hear:
BlueSky bad
A.I. good
I feel like I'm in opposite world. Really at least expected @jonlovett.bsky.social to have a more nuanced skepticism, especially on A.I.
As a fourteen year old, I did that in 1973. (Didn't stick too long, as an adult I became more of a baseball fanatic, but I shared the 73 Knicks with my dad who died several months later.)
Eric Carle's estate should sue.
So happy for you! Can't wait to read your work there!
Make it make sense
