👇
The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.
The president and his allies came after him.
Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.
He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.
His politics can win anywhere.

Republicans who think your seat is safe: no it's not
Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

The fascists are not inevitable. They're not unstoppable. They're not all powerful. They want you to think that, but millions turned out last month to call their bluff. And millions turned out today to claim our power. We will win.

Halloween is the best holiday because it's all about people giving neighbors and strangers treats for free and telling kids how awesome they are.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

this is good governance and smart politics—other states should follow suit. the public and the national guardsmen need to see this in contrast with trump’s illegal acts. i say this as someone who really, really doesn’t like gavin newsom
Right now, our amazing service members with the California National Guard are helping power expanded food bank operations across the state.
California refuses to let the Trump government shutdown's halt to federal food assistance abandon Californians in need.

i'm perfectly comfortable with the twitter/bluesky divide being one will overlook a nazi tattoo and one will not.
that seems like a reasonable distillation of the differences between the sites.

Last thought on No Kings coverage:
If major papers wanted a stunning angle, how about the fact that 5-7 *million* Americans mobilized and I didn’t see 1 significant act of violence by protesters
That is a *remarkable* achievement for a contemporary social movement in a highly polarized society

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

i imagine there’s about to be an influx of MAGA chuds spewing their bullshit but i really can’t stress enough that if we don’t give them oxygen, they’ll get bored and leave. block early and often.
i know the desire to fight with these sick freaks is strong but resist the urge and just block. it’s better for your brain.

Find a No Kings protest Saturday and go!
Don't worry that you've never been to a protest before. Don't worry about being dressed wrong or looking out of place. Don't worry that you don't agree about everything -- or even about much -- with lots of people at the protest.

Delivered latest mosaic today. This one was a commission, on a busted mirror our client pulled off the curb. The best part about this one was it was a joint piece with my mom, who is also my teacher, and the queen of mermaid mosaics (Grandmother Moon Mosaics).
