Let us be clear: Zohran won because of DSA. This is just the start. Let's fucking go.

Really hate that some organizers are using AI to generate art and posters for their actions. Like seriously, a quick poster on Canva with key info would do. You don't have to enable a system that steals work from artists.

Good for the NPC to put out this statement. Certain members of our org do not consider the consequences of the shit they say, and it puts all of us in harms way, particularly our more vulnerable members.

Democratic Socialists of America seek to democratically transform our society and reject vigilante violence. We condemn the murder of Israeli embassy workers. Any statement otherwise is not the stance of DSA.

Met some dude talking out of his ass on China stuff and when I went in and tried to explain he was like "oh no no I know what I am talking about I am Peruvian and 1% Chinese"

I have protested at Delaney Hall several times where Ras Baraka was arrested. What they don't tell you is that Delaney Hall is situated in the middle of an industrial park. The air is saturated with the smell of chemicals and you feel immediately nauseous after exposure.

Loving how we are descending into a fascist nightmare with people straight up getting disappeared and some are just like "nah I'm not into politics"

Babe wake up new Carsick Cars single just dropped www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNkj...

About to fall asleep on this air conditioned bus

me fr fr

Smug bearded white dudes is my least favorite genre of human beings

Just realized that I never posted pics of my new cat that I adopted 2 months ago. Here is the idiot in all her glory.

Pretty sick of this narrative of "China will be fine the US is just hurting itself look at how the Chinese foreign ministry trolls Trump on Twitter." China will not be fine. The country is already experiencing economic downturns and unemployment, and a prolonged trade war will worsen everything.

So, uhh, brownshirts?

Now both countries have: Illegal detention due to your political views A non-functional government that bootlicks billionaires and corporations Erratic policies that are changed on a whim No rule of law Not that these phenomena are new in the US but we are entering a new era of bullshitery

Every day I wake up and realize that I immigrated from China...to China

This new band slaps youtu.be/qpfzxXl_-Ow?...

There is such a thing as trying too hard. For example, the headlines on the front page of People's Daily: Investing in China is Investing in the Future Trust in China, Trust in Tomorrow Stability in China's Import Export 4 Dimensions Contributing to China's Steady Growth in International Trade

Why can't the IRS just do my taxes. Stupid ass backwards system.

Remember - it's all connected. China imported tactics from the US war on terror, Israel imported surveillance tech from China, China then imported "counter-insurgency" tactics from Israel.

Date night

The acceptance of censorship in the United States began when people allowed it to happen to Palestinians and their allies and anyone with a conscience should record history as it happened bsky.app/profile/adha...

Just in case you are struggling with recent events: The only way out is to organize. Join a political organization, fight for change together, find community in each other.

Me when I was 2: I want to become an astronaut and be the first Chinese person on Mars. Me now: documenting societal collapse in the US as a documentary photographer / organizer.

Remembering my grandma telling me stories like "yeah when the Japanese came to my village I just fled to the mountains with nothing but a wok" and now I might need to flee to the mountains too with nothing but a wok

Yeah, no. The newer generation has experienced hyper economic growth right up until COVID. Hyper consumption driven by e-commerce has become the norm for urban middle class. Take that away and people are going to be mega pissed.

AmCham: we take money from ExxonMobil and Amway and spend them on more evil advocacy shit AusCham: g'day mate we take money from Austrian companies and spent them all on a bar wanna go grab a pint at 1pm

Thinking of people I know who work for the American Chamber of Commerce in China atm. Most of these people are dicks whom I have zero empathy for but they must be panicking hard rn Missing the good old days when I used to hit up AusCham cuz they have a bar and they people there are goofy af

Maaaybe I should move back to China. Maybe.

Not that China wasn't banning foreign films before lmao. To enter the Chinese market your film has to be co-produced with a Chinese company, go through censorship, and not conflict with any domestic releases.

I've been away for a bit because I've been really busy with my local electoral campaign. If you can, donate to Jake Ephros, a socialist running for City Council in Jersey City. secure.actblue.com/donate/j4jcb...

Current mood

I feel like there should be bigger protests

Every day I wake up to new horrors

It's hot pot day

Today is the 30th birthday of my friend Jake who is a socialist candidate running for city council in Jersey City's Ward D. Calling everyone to donate $30 for Jake's 30th to power our campaign! secure.actblue.com/donate/jakehbd

Not my Egyptian cab driver yelling at me "everything will get better under Trump you will see!"

ICE raids: happening Me sitting in O'Hare eating a Chicago hot dog while it's -20 C outside: ah yes, America

Me coming out of a full day organizers strategy retreat without checking social media:

Ok have to admit Chicago hot dogs are legit

Then why can't the Villagers of Village Earth in China access Facebook, X, Instagram, or Google?

Flying to Chicago today gonna get me some deep dish

Getting blocked left and right because god forbid the Chinese person actually speaks and has opinions

My local city council race is such a caricature of America. You have the "Police captain for 30 yrs" candidate, the "VP at some department in Morgan Stanley" candidate, the "Progressive NGO manager" candidate, and the "incumbent bought out by Jared Kushner" candidate. Nuts.

I need to start a substack on China or smth because white people writing about China is driving me up the fucking wall
