Since I started the resistance network I have written 425 essays and produced 500 videos. I travel the country encouraging people to build local resistance networks. If you like what I do, please support the work. Here is my latest on why it matters: charlieangus.substack.com/p/resistance...
Resistance in the Age of the Political Pile-on

“The company in January changed its policies, but Grok continued to generate sexualized images as late as April.” It’s a war on women. It’s calculated to subjugate them. It is misogynist.

When we talk about the rule of law, this is ground zero: Alberta’s joke of a regulatory system with legislative restrictions on judicial oversight. The pro industry big firms churning out blogs on this decision, not looking at the board ♟️ . Hopefully the jig is up.

A coal mine expansion!?!?!? Ummmm……Canada is on fire and the government permits a coal mine expansion?!?!?! I have no words….
“Members of the Senate are often advanced in years... more than a third of current senators are 70 or older. The institution also runs on seniority, providing an incentive for members to remain as long as they can as they amass power and senatorial privilege." www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/u...

This has been going on for decades that I know of. And it is why Trump is making up an issue about other countries being “soft on slave labor”. With him and the Republicans it’s always projection; accusing others of what they are doing.

Here’s the thing about Trump and MAGA. They never smear people who are actually corrupt. Those people get complements, jobs, contracts or pardons. If Trump and MAGA are smearing you, you may not be perfect, but you probably have some level of integrity that they really can’t handle.
Dr. Fauci is a hero. He really is. He helped guide America thru a mass death event. Millions more could have died but they did not, thanks to him. Everyone over 70 owes him a debt. It is disgusting that we live in a country that not only dishonors him but actively smears his good name.
“The city’s transition away from the car, tho fantastically chaotic, has become a global role model. Under mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social, Paris was ‘the most influential city in the world’ says Canadian urbanist Brent Toderian. Hidalgo, stepping down after 12 yrs, exulted: ‘The bike beat the car.’”

“Yet climate change and fire suppression practices do not tell the whole story. The other factor explaining the increasing destructiveness of wildfire is the residential development that has marched deep into fire-prone territory”
"Who has the authority to decide whether, when, and where people should retreat? Who absorbs the loss of equity? And is the public willing to finance an exit from places where decades of policy encouraged residential growth?" On wildfire adaptation, in California and beyond:
This is what we need to do. All of us. Grunt work. It will save us. Nothing else will. There’s no Lone Ranger. No Spider Man. No Black Panther. No Green Lantern No Wonder Woman. It’s up to us.
I will accept no slander against this man or his work. He has been doing the work. To be clear, I'm not calling him perfect. I am calling him present and accounted for. Charles is what a large portion of our elected officials should strive to be. Thank you for your work, @charlesgaba.com.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
My unvaccinated brother died of COVID in 2021. I was about a year and a half into my epidemiology career. Healthcare staff did absolutely everything they could but they cannot cure ignorance. They cannot cure an anti-science belief and culture. Thats YOUR responsibility. Not Dr. Fauci’s.
