Hey Friends, I’m here of Substack, and here is why I decided to leave MSNBC and go 100% independent with all my content.
Podcast posting in the morning.
We’ll be covering a guy who reached out to me about 80 Boxes of cards he found.

Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved.
Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath but never a source of God's mercy, generosity, or compassion.

hello everyone I am still recuperating from a brain injury and hope to be back writing by the end of the month. meanwhile i have been staying at my parents’ house in the longleaf pine stands of North Carolina cosplaying as Siegfried dallying in the forest surrounded by the sounds of birds. (Though I like to think I’m nicer to my parents than he is.)
Israel and the Palestinians: The Road to 7th October, whose bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episo… airs this Monday, is such a travesty, so discredited by the very historical events it promises to explain, that it earns a glowing, five-star review from the Guardian.

The problem with Social Security isn't "fraud."
The problem with Social Security is that as the rich have gotten richer, more of their income has escaped the cap on the SS payroll tax.
In fact, millionaires stop paying SS taxes today.
We can fix this by scrapping the cap.
Imagine reading Exodus and siding with Pharaoh. Imagine reading the Christmas story and thinking King Herod was the good guy. Imagine watching the crucifixion and thinking Pilate was right. Imagine reading Revelation and believing Rome is on God’s side. Because in almost every way, this is how white evangelicals understand reality.

To be a Zionist, in the simplest terms, is to believe that a Palestinian born in Haifa 77 years ago with a long lineage there can NEVER return, but a Jew w/ a biblical claim from thousands of years ago — or a convert to Judaism — gets automatic citizenship. Plainly racist & dumb.

The United States is a rogue state that’s now launched an imperialist trade war against Canada and Mexico.
It’s time for countries, especially its former allies, to form an alliance to make the US feel the consequences of its actions and to break their dependence on US tech once and for all.
In The NY Times today, James Carville proposes a new Democratic strategy: “roll over and play dead.” Let the Republicans wreak havoc. Let them pass more tax cuts for the wealthy and tank the US economy. Let them default on the national debt and tank the world economy. Let them cut Medicaid and food stamps and vaccines. When kids are starving, sick and dead and people have lost their retirement and are living in poverty, Republicans will crater in the polls and Democrats can swoop in, win in the next elections and save the day!
Let’s put aside whether there will be free and fair elections in 2026.
Our strategy is to let kids get sick and die? It’s already happening in Texas: 100 kids with measles, a quarter of them hospitalized. The Dow and NASDAQ and S&P are down already since Trump took office. I went grocery shopping the other day. It’s not just egg prices that are at an all-time high. Inflation, which seemed finally to be coming under control, jumped to 3% since Trump took office, and that’s before the effects of tariffs have kicked in.
Are children and retirees the collateral damage we’re willing to accept in favor of the long game? And that’s just the US citizens. How many thousands of Ukrainians will die because of Trump’s cozying up to Russia? What country will Putin invade next? How many people are already starving in Africa now that USAID food relief has been halted? How many family farms in the US are already going under?
Carville speaks of rope-a-dope: take the body blows and knock ‘em out in the 8th round! The only problem is, the ones taking the body blows will be kids, and the elderly, and the sick and the poor. Who are we willing to let suffer and die in hopes of a glorious comeback years down the line? Are we willing to trade “above all else, do no harm” for “the good of the many over the good of the few?”
Measles outbreaks, inflation up, economy down… why can’t Democrats unify behind these simple and powerful messages and go on the attack? Repeat them over, and over on every platform like the Republicans do so effectively.
God knows that I support trans rights, my friends are being erased, but we need to focus on messaging that resonates with middle-America right now. There is blood in the water, Democrats. Be a fucking shark.
