Big Sur

Politics & Bigsurkate

I’ve started a new series discussing Newsom v. Trump and the Posse Comitatus Act on my Substack, as I know many of you did not subscribe to this blog to hear about politics. I understand. Occasionally I will still talk about it here, but for the most part, I am moving it to my Substack.com/bigsurkate. You can find the first post in this series here, I hope: https://open.substack.com/pub/bigsurkate/p/newsom-v-trump?r=f01sg&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

I am new to Substack and trying to learn how to navigate. Took me a few months to figure out I couldn’t post from the app, but had to go into a browser to do that. Join me there and subscribe. As here, it is free.
