Oh man, feeling this one. The OG Safety of Death, who paved the road Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor followed. The inspiration for my 21-year Kenny Easley IDP Fantasy League.

And not just any fish.

This is the red mullet, a fish that bankrupted Roman families. A fish that was, at it's height, worth it's weight in silver.

This was THEE FISH at one point.

They are small fish, and apparently especially delicious.

If you've ever wondered why we don't have general strikes in the US, read up on the Wobblies, and know the enormous significance of @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social choosing the Labor Hall for her victory speech.

Freedom of Religion
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.

he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.

situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Bad-ass
Wilson’s choice in venue for her acceptance speech was at the Seattle Labor Temple.

The Seattle Labor Temple is a historic union‑center that has served the city’s workers for more than a century.

One more thing. When I wrote about this study showing one-third of Americans don't drive, people were messaging me saying this cannot be true for LA.

In LA County *23 percent* of the population is under 16. Kids are people! We must plan for their movement, just like all nondrivers. Hope that helps!
Highly recommend diving into NRDC's study on car access, which @keawilson.bsky.social wrote about here: usa.streetsblog.org/2025/10/02/report-16-million-have-no-car-access-at-all

Where Nadir was killed, 14% of LA households are car-free. But the infrastructure does not match that reality

Make it the Billionaires' responsibility to prove they're "one of the good ones" through massive philanthropic projects that benefit society
i personally think democrats are better off campaigning against billionaires than trying to cherry pick the "good" billionaires vs the "bad" ones.

cause yes, americans are aspirational to wealth but theyre also very open to populist arguments about the fat cats screwing over the little guy
