I did a search on Twitter for the word ‘g!mp’ (for which Jim was banned) and there is hundreds of tweets using that word, none of the accounts who posted it are banned.
I noticed it’s commonly used by soccer fans, ridiculing players who f*cked up on the pitch - literally using the word in the ableist context.
Soccer is like life. If we want to win, we are going to have to get the ball out of the net. We don't want to say that our teammates have gotten the ball. We've done it before with our fans. It was just not as easy when our first match was on the field, going up with 10 people cheering us on. We were disappointed at the last minute when a guy started kicking us in the groin, and we couldn't go anywhere.
I thought the same thing when I tried to pull up your substack yesterday. Then I checked a couple of other substacks and they were down too, so I know it was the system. But for a moment I thought the same thing as you. Glad you are still online!
Don't forget there are also greedy billionaires behind this war on democracy that are finding it really isn't costing them all that much money to buy Washington to ensure that they will never see a rise in their taxes or any meaningful regulations that might cut into their ongoing attack on the finances of the working class. They own the media and the political messengers and it's only a matter of time until we get our own version of Hungarian "democracy" and a glorious Christian leader like DeSantis.

I think they underestimated the warriors nest they smashed. Welcome to the evolution. Power to the People!

This breaks my heart Jim
I just love these trolls using their screen names as criticisms
Thank you for all of the work. I can't give you a Congressional Medal of Honor, but I can get you two tickets to any Broadway show...except Hamilton.
Seriously though,
Fuckin' Thanks Man.
I have a coined another new term:
Putin's Razor
