“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.

3. It finally resolves.
But I kinda don’t want to have to do that. I just wanna see the quoted toot in the list, w/o having to interact.

So... how's he supposed to get *back to Mexico* now?

He’s 27 years old. Lives and works in Rockey Point (Puerto Peñasco). Visiting his family for the holidays. Like he does every year.
No criminal record. None.
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.
And now they’re just fucking with him. And us.

This is the same location I’m out in front of every Thursday, protesting against the American Gestapo using this 24-hr holding facility to inhumanly hold people for a week or more.
And now we’re told he’s not getting out tonight. We’re back on the phones with Senators, Consulates, and anyone else.

We would be, in essence, curating a playlist of select episodes of a show. Nothing odd about that from a streaming platform perspective (read: Spotify). Happens all the time. Artists still get (poorly) paid when the track plays.
But will that translate to podcasting? Is it similar enough to RSS feeds of trailer episodes?

My hat is off to you fellas. I struggle keeping a directory of 1,600 shows properly updated.
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.

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.

“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!

So far, so good. Not having to see machine-generated, fabricated summaries is blissful.

Slippery and sloppy play in #Dublin so far.
Which pretty much tracks how I spent a lot of my time in Temple Bar a few years ago.

Actually, the Irish contingent watching #IowaState and #KansasState run around the field with possession changing back and forth and little threat of scoring is pretty much the type of football they’re used to.

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.

Initial reaction—Holy shit.

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.

That's kinda like the old adage “The most money you'll make in podcasting is by selling back the gear you bought that you didn't need." 😆

Spot on.
There are ways to make high-quality, high-value shows pay for themselves. But those ways are alien to the big-money players trying to turn podcasting into something it’s not.
Niche, FTW.

#MorningAll who made it to Tuesday.
#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.
Find a place near you where you can make good trouble.

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.

In case you didn’t know that Felonious Trump’s spectacle at Ft. Bragg on Tuesday was a painstakingly manipulated photo op that should piss off every active, inactive, and retired military personnel (looking at you, Dad)—it was.
Read it and literally weep for what we let happen to our country. 👇

No, that’s not the way it works. We don’t wait for perfect candidates. We vote for those we directionally agree with the most.
Non-voters are what got us into the problems of USA politics as long as I’ve been alive.

It’s fun(?) to read the sub-bullets in Point 2 but substituting “USA” where they currently read “India.”
Or any country also crumbling into fascism, I suppose.

I wonder if that Greenway IPA is the one from Phoenix?
And yes, I watched the same game. Probably on the same network, because I’m sneaky like that.

More folks need to see this—and spread it. We’ll see more of these this year:
“Somers, NY – In a shocking turn of events at a recent Republican town hall in Somers, New York, constituent social worker Emily Feiner from New York’s 17th Congressional District was violently ripped from her seat, manhandled by several men, and forcefully carried out of the venue.”
