Visiting LA means loading up on products we don’t have in NorCal. (Yes, I can get nopales in NorCal, but the spines are already cleaned off these bagged ones.)

Fruit: black sapote, mangosteen, and a variety of mango I haven’t seen elsewhere.

Always proudly Other!

Plenty of Fish deleted my drag performance video off my profile. I appealed the decision. I just saw their response and final decision, refusing to restore the photo.

I wrote them back, saying I found their decision hypocritical and frankly discriminatory. Then I deleted my profile.
A brown person dressed in a tropical button-down, red tie, blue vest, and red pants with a straw fedora on an outdoor stage, dramatically gesturing while lip-syncing. They have a drawn-on beard. Text: We have reviewed your account for a content removal appeal and have determined you have violated our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service. Your photo will remain removed from your profile, this decision is final. If you would like to add new photos to your account in the future, remember to review the “why was my photo removed?” page for additional photo guidelines. I understand this is not the outcome you were hoping for but we appreciate your cooperation in this matter. This matter is closed and not subject to further appeal.

From AP today, and nary a peep from folks who jump all over me when I say anything about Mamdani or Gaza.
The headline and top photo on the AP story: Trump‘s comments about Fuentes and Carlson could prolong a Republican rift over antisemitism. The caption on the photo reads: Nick Fuentes, far right activist, holds a rally at the Lansing capital, in Lansing, Michigan, Wednesday, November 11, 2020. Photo credit: Nichole Hester. A paragraph of the article that reads: the threat of antisemitism, which has percolated across the political spectrum, will likely be a recurring political issue in the coming year, as Democrats and Republicans battle for control of Congress and the midterms. Although Trump has targeted left-wing Campos activism as a hive of anti-Jewish sentiment, Fuentes‘s influence is a test of whether conservatives are willing to accommodate bigots as part of their political coalition. The photo below it is captioned: Tucker Carlson, left, talks after president Donald Trump posthumously awarded the presidential medal of freedom to Charlie Kirk in the Rose Garden of the White House, October 14, 2025, in Washington

New name for the GOP just dropped:

Group Of Pedophiles

Inspired by Colombia’s president…

Seriously, what politician bothers to make up imaginary constituents when there’s so many REAL ones he should just TALK to?

And YES, this is 100% emblematic of what is wrong with the bulk of the Democratic Party: listening to consultants, media, & fictional people instead of actual voters. #Schumer

My Filipino American grandfather was posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor today for his service in the US Navy during WWII.

I consider myself a proud inheritor of his legacy in fighting fascism, defending Americans and immigrants to the US from tyrannical, oppressive rule.

DEAR EZRA KLEIN:
A post by @ Jenn Schiffer. com: I hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

Two school visits today:

- One junior high GSA to talk about our resources for LGBTQ+ youth and listen to their experiences with homo- and transphobia.

- One high school for their Vote Local project on how best to support our immigrant community.

Kids want to be heard and help with real solutions

Anyone can get their shirts modeled by celebrities.

I got mine modeled by the roadie for Las Cafeteras: my friend Emmanuel.

And somebody asked him where he got his shirt!

For Halloween, I was going to dress as our local Mom for Liberty-

-who went viral recently as “stripper mom” for taking off her clothes at our school board meeting.

My family said it was too scary.

Here’s how I did it:

Mochi is unimpressed with my cheap, last-minute costume.
A white husky mix looks askance at a brown human wearing a white hat with ears and a white sweater with gray spots and a painted-on dog nose. The human is smiling at the camera. Don’t make me describe the state of the house.

CALIFORNIA! Have you voted yet?

Mochi wants you to know she is a Dire Wolf and not a bubble bath. She is a fierce beast, not an adorable plush puppy to dress up.

She regrets every decision by her ancestors that have led to this moment.

As usual, @tressiemcphd.bsky.social makes her argument persuasively and beautifully.

I just want to point out that this hard, necessary political work she describes? My organization and so many under-funded nonprofits do this all the time.

Imagine if we were supported the way the GOP funds bigots.
“It is going to take hard politics. The kind that shows up in communities between elections and solves problems that don’t sound glamorous on television talk shows. It looks like facing down the Klan in a trailer park, not complaining about racism while doing far too little to avert it. It means believing that racism is not a natural condition of poverty but a political weapon that rich men use to constrain poor people’s political power. And — most critically — it looks like not wanting, even for a second, to be confused with the people who would do that. You don’t wear a red hat as a joke. You don’t fly the ironic flag of historical hate to get a rise out of people. You don’t wear the cool tattoo for over a decade that maybe, kind of, possibly, probably looks like something horrible and hateful.” The first half of the text is highlighted.

Have you gotten your booster?

I visited a friend, and on the last day of the visit, she came down with COVID-19.

This is my third and last test, confirming that I didn’t catch it.

I was boosted; she was not*.

Get boosted, and get your flu vax, too.

Arrived in the mail today: my latest t-shirt design!

A sneaky take on the Iron Front logo, the three downward arrows representing opposition to monarchy, Nazi fascism, and Stalinist communism, popular with anti-fascist groups worldwide.
