Stawman argument.

“None of them are worth a vote” is rarely true, but is the cry of the detached non-voter clinging to some misguided sense of moral clarity.

I used to be one. I’ve grown. It’s possible.

That’s amazing. Meanwhile, in this dystopian society, that’s the percentage who can’t be bothered to vote.

Here’s to changing that in 2026.

ICE, DHS, HSI, Pinal County Sheriff’s Office, or some other group of cruel and incompetent buffoons managed to "lose” his tourist visa card, his I-94, his driver's license (from Mexico), and his voter registration card (also from Mexico).
So... how's he supposed to get *back to Mexico* now?

Whatever our government does to them they'll do to us. This is why I keep showing up, making a scene, and spreading the word.

Nabbed during a “routine” traffic stop for “obstructed tags.” He wasn’t driving. Just a passenger. The vehicle was a work truck, so the cops called ICE on the suspicion he was working. He was not. And, again, valid and current travel visa.

I’m seriously (?) considering making custom “static” RSS feeds (that calls the media files at the hosting provider) that have all the correct tagging (for binge-ready fiction podcasts), and just the episodes of a the finale’d seasons. That has its own challenges, of course. But I don’t need to pull new episodes or try to keep the feeds in sync.

Hey, #Podcaster. You really need to plan for when, not if, the worst thing in the world happens.

Here's an excellent guide that is almost precisely what I do. However, after reading the link below, I'm adding a younger human (or two) in the recovery plans.

One of my favorite things about podcasting is that the word itself says nothing about the content. It simply defines—tho things get fuzzy on the edges but we’re not discussing that right now—the delivery mechanism.

Articles like that be damned. Homogenizing podcasting is a fool’s errand. So is chasing trends in what works best as a niche medium.

Let’s keep podcasting weird! 😁

“How can you go to a ska show when democracy is crumbling before you?”

Yeah, I get it. But you gotta take time for joy.

Also— #ska is the phrase “Man, the world fucking sucks but this guy can play sick licks on a trumpet” put to an off-beat rhythm, so hells yeah.

A serial troller set up a profile on my instance. It requires review, but he was smart enough to make it look almost like he was legit.

He wasn’t.

He posted a slew of ramblings which were more incoherent than anything terribly inflammatory.

Within an hour, four people from four different instances reported the account to me, and I immediately suspended it.

I know others have issues with Mastodon moderation, but it sure worked perfectly today. Thanks!

Every #Tuesday morning, I stand on a street corner carrying flags and signs of #protest against the #Republican regime.

And I’m joined by a few friends and neighbors, as I was #today.

#RhRR is something hyperlocal I can do, so I do it 3x a week. https://rhrr.us

Here are a few shots from part of our group in front of the US Immigration Court in #Phoenix this morning.

Pro-tip: When you're out protesting and someone wants to explain why you’re protesting wrong, go ahead and listen.

And as soon as they tell you that the word "empathy" is satanic, laugh in their face and walk away.

This just happened to me after #today's #RhRR on Melrose.

#Today begins with a #RhRR outside the U.S. Immigration Court building in downtown #Phoenix. Because we still need a near-constant presence on the street. And because fuck ICE.

It’s crazy hot, so we do our events during the morning rush to beat the heat.

The Supreme Court is a farce. So says Justice Sotomayor in a scathing dissenting opinion:

“The Due Process Clause represents “the principle that ours is a government of laws, not of men, and that we submit ourselves to rulers only if under rules.” By rewarding lawlessness, the Court once again undermines that foundational principle.
