Really seeing once again, it seems, that the real divide in the Democratic coalition is not left/lib/moderate or anything like that.
It's the fight/no-fight divide. And the 'fight' dems are the ones winning elections.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

This is my whole vibe right now
I am of two minds right now.
1) I have no belief nor do I have any faith in the two party system, and 2) GOD IT FEELS GOOD TO SEE THE REPUBLICANS GET DOG WALKED AT THE POLLS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY TONIGHT.

We keep seeing startups who want to replace something valuable (therapy, counseling, tutoring, artistic expression) with some tech bullshit under the banner of democratization. But why do we need to invest so much in bad tech that doesn't work instead of just giving people access to what they need?

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

I found an Iron Age Sarmatian woman who wore a hoodie decorated with gold embossed decorative plaques! So fancy!
She was a tattoo artist. We got the drip, since the 5th century BCE.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)
As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

I’m resharing this again because it’s so good that it made it into my dreams last night. I dreamed some needed project was being cancelled bc its directors thought fascism had already won & I was pleading with them. “There’s always a next right thing to do! Don’t give up! We need you!”

important to note that, after people in oakland IMMEDIATELY threw down on day one, trump was eager to make it appear that it wasn't this promise of an indefinite uprising that made him pause, it was the advice of bay area tech lords, who he wants to be seen as having the power, not the people, etc.

At Request of Billionaire ‘Friends,’ Trump Pulls Plug on Troop Deployment to San Francisco - For Now
October 23, 2025 - After threatening for days to deploy troops to San Francisco, President Donald Trump announced that he would pull back for the moment, apparently after some of his billionaire “friends” in the city called him and asked him not to.

We should stay alert because this can easily be a feint or a tactic to get folks to stop paying attention.
ICE was already present and doing small raids here before the “surge” so this does not mean we will not need to keep working to protect each other.

@governor.ca.gov this is what your CHP officers are aiding right now at Coast Guard Island. DHS violently attacking protestors, shooting a peaceful praying pastor directly in the face at 5 ft range with riot munitions. Your CHP are aiding them right now to brutalize and arrest these protestors.

Btw here’s the pic from that Oaklandside article of the moment DHS thugs shot a peaceful praying pastor in the face with riot munitions.
Also kinda looks like this agent pissed himself. He probably wouldn’t want you to make this pic go viral.
