Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.
It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

Wait the guy who told us to inject bleach and take ivermectin and then hired someone to tell us not to take vaccines, who ran a child sex trafficking ring, who is willy-nilly shooting boats off the Venezuelan coast and taking kids from their parents, is withholding money to feed his citizens?

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...
I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons.

State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations.

easily my favorite moment of #MozFest thus far was just listening to @schock.cc effortlessly connect the long history of globalized racial capitalism, settler colonialism, and heteropatriarchy to our current moment of AI/tech extractionism, oppression, and oligarchy 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

We ran on making Cambridge an affordable and dignified city to live in, and making sure the most vulnerable people are heard. Everyday issues for working people were the driving force behind our campaign, and we will carry their voices into City Hall.

From a friend & client who is the mayor of her upstate New York town. Over the past nine years, her team of community organizers flipped EVERY RED SEAT in the city and county to BLUE, culminating in last night's final tally.

The good news just keeps on coming.
"Good Morning! Last night was amazing in western/central NY - long time Towns flipped - Monroe Cty - outside of Rochester flipped seats Dem from long held Red to Blue. Here’s the best for organizers like husband and me - after 9 years… we flipped every seat in our Town that was still R. Here’s what has changed after 9 years. We started with 1 Dem on the Village Board and our D member of Congress. Village Board and Mayor (me) are all D State Sen and AssemblyMember - D County Exec. - D 2 County Leg for our town -D 2 Town Judges - D **Town Board, Clerk, and Supervisor! ALL D as of last night. This is why organizing, planning, and solid strategy works. 9 YEARS and many races that we didn’t win. So here’s the take away - our area was considered solid R until the last 5 years. KEEP GOING. There’s more of us than them and people need to know that there are good people who want to do good for the community. Sorry for the long post, but AMAZING NIGHT that restored a little more faith in our community and humanity. 🥲🥲🥲."
