America is not perfect. Far from it. But there are ideals worth fighting for, values worth pursuing, even when we fall short. Don’t abandon it to the totalitarians.

Hey Ken, I know you’ve given up on Mastodon, but I figured it doesn’t hurt to ask - any chance you could post this over there? Your account still has 100k+ followers, and this article is Just That Good, IMO
I did retweet(post, whatever) the one you posted last year, but it’s a substack link. 😬
I’m sorry, I don’t mean to offend, but I really deeply dislike Mastodon’s vibe.
It’s like being trapped at a party with two other people: one who demands you debate them on whether Dick York or Dick Sargent was the better Darrin, and one who becomes irate that you said the word “Dick.”
I haven't been to Mastodon much, but if it's helpful in improving the Bluesky vibe or making the time here feel more rewarding: I get a lot from reading your thoughts on recent events.
I'm glad you post here, and I suspect there are a great many people who feel the same!
