My latest newsletter is a friendly bit of political advice for Democrats.
Don't Surrender On Trans Rights
Many Democrats are running scared on trans issues. They shouldn't be.

Democrats who are abandoning trans people — looking at you, Sherrod Brown — might as well join the GOP. We need everyone.
Candidates being open to taking away human rights for people just because they’re trans is a deal breaker for me.

I retired from a public library after 25 years. Over the weekend, I visited @hclib.bsky.social while in Minneapolis and thought how fortunate we are that people in previous centuries placed a premium on free public libraries. That kind of investment in a public good would be impossible today.

Once again I must note that a major goal here is to destroy women’s sports.

By redefining any woman who defies their strict rules for femininity as a “man,” they basically deny that women’s sports are real.

Because, to them, a female athlete is not a woman.

Gammons. “I am worried about all of the ‘men’ playing in women’s sports. We have to support the women in women’s sports.”

Normals. “Name three ‘men’ in women’s sports”.

Getting no-hit by a guy no one knew this morning is such a Phillies thing.

H.W. Bush did the same thing to Noriega in Panama. (Search for Operation Just Cause.) Put him on trail in the US; was also tried in abstentia (and eventually did time) in Panama and France. There was a little more nuance in that regime change.
If Maduro is in custody my expectation is the admin will try to hold Dumb Nuremberg. They'll make it a judicial referendum on fentanyl and try to blame Maduro for the deaths from the opiate crisis.

Progressives could make the Mummers Parade more fun and inclusive. Imagine a Gayborhood String Band playing "I Will Survive"and a Kingsessing Fancy Brigade marching to George Clinton. I'd go to that. (Before hating on me, I have been to the parade many times, including a few on psychedelics.)
second place in the comic division for an overtly left-wing political message??? including a costume that says “go birds fuck ice free palestine” on the back????? WOKE 2.0 IS HERE. WE ARE NOT ASKING.

If you suspected we see more sports betting ads than anywhere else in the country, you're correct. Also, it appears more lives being destroyed by gambling than ever before, which seemed inevitable, given the first part.

Just another holiday flag … But upon closer inspection, it turns out to be a 1910 Phillies logo and typography. Subtle. #Phillies
