This week at The Sick Times, Elizabeth Pugh argues that labeling people with Long COVID as “patients” is stigmatizing and personally and politically harmful. “It strips personal agency,” she writes. “And frankly, it’s bad PR.” Read more: thesicktimes.org/2026/08/04/t...

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

NEW: Police in Wisconsin used Flock to determine that a man “travels to Michigan frequently,” where marijuana is legal, then back to Wisconsin, where it is illegal. They then used his travel across state lines as tracked by Flock as part of the probable cause justification to search his car.

"The vehicle travels to Michigan frequently which is a known source state for marijuana as it is legal there," a probable cause justification reads.

[Today’s poster’s madness includes “Riff on Kendal“ Day] This is why I call Almanac, the Strib editorial page, the old-guard Senior Caucus “The Lagging Indicators” - despite the fact that we can learn from the past, status quo forces will always tumble for a circumscribed nostalgia
Kendal Killian@kedrickillian.bsky.social · 3h agoName a Minnesota political pundit and I will tell you which election they lost to move them from being relevant to being a pundit. Why are losers seen as credible? When you lose it means the voters are rejecting your point of view. Yet on the Almanac couch your rejected perspective lives forever.

And how much exactly did the search for a new #Minneapolis #FireChief cost? Why did they need to go after a guy who was working in Saudi Arabia? Did they pay for his flights? Seems the now-assistant Fire Chief & then Interim Fire Chief Melanie Rucker was a very well qualified & deserving candidate.

I think one helpful—hopeful—analogy between Minnesota and Michigan primaries is that the insane, egregious ad spends and reprehensible ad content didn't tip the scales in favor of the monied interests' preferred candidate: adimpact.com/blogs/michig...
