Good morning to the men who are doing the work of dismantling the toxic structures installed in them by violence!

Citibike should cost the same as the subway!

The study Olúfémi cited here is long and detailed, but I want to highlight two specific paragraphs which get at why, like him, I know we will win.

FDR won 42 states in 1932, it wasn't by pandering to Hoover voters. Then Republicans called him a socialist for 4 years. Then he ran for reelection and won 46 states

The yearning to begin, the aching to understand, with love and hope in our hearts

Can't believe the FBI busted this guy taking a $50k bribe! They clearly could have got him for a jug of hooch

In conclusion

Maybe it was a mistake to let 8 companies own everything

Your moment of zen

The Democratic Party does not exist to stop the Republican agenda. It exists to stop a leftist alternative. The sooner we all recognize this the sooner the terrain of conflict (and our path forward) makes sense.

Good morning friends

🧵What I said in the wake of January 6, has sadly held up. The brownshirts are getting out of prison, pardoned, the oligarch class is bowing before the tyrant to preserve their profits and suppress an alternative left, all that remains is a Reichstag fire

Even benefiting from huge electoral advantages and a decades-long oligarch-funded propaganda ecosystem, Republicans still barely squeak in. *They don't have a mandate for their extremely unpopular policies.* If Democrats ran on Left Populism they'd be putting up FDR numbers by comparison.

Real gecko hours who's up being a weird little guy?

People want everything to be a binary between dooming and “we’re so back” but I’ll just say this is both a really troubling attack on press freedom and an open admission that your regime is fragile enough to feel threatened by Jimmy fucking Kimmel

Goodnight friends

Come hell or high water

It took only minutes for beams of light to travel 93 million miles to us, to wash over our planet, providing enough food and energy to create a sustainable life of plenty and leisure to everyone everywhere. A better world is possible and we can choose to use our boundless resources to build it.

The overwhelming human experience across the entire planet is love and laughter and desire and pleasure. Hate is momentary. That's why it's all the more important to quarantine those that insist on stirring hate, especially those that can only derive their own pleasure from conflict.

Or he could be a lifelong satanic piece of shit energy vampire that feeds off of conflict

This quote hits hard

I'm glad Biden had a good nap for 4 fuckin years. Meanwhile Korea and Brazil are handling it:

El Camino baby

On this day in 2001 I was holding Katie close in Hell's Kitchen as fighter jets roared overhead and the air smelled of electrical fire and human ash. We were thankful to be alive. I'm thankful I can still hold her in my arms today.

"From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs" is one of the least controversial sentences ever written, if you're not a sociopath

I was on my bicycle and a cybertruck stopped to let me pass

After many requests, here are the files to print three different anonymous Chicago contractor-style flyers about ICE, as well my new zine of Tasks for the National Guard in Chicago. Print and resist, friends! drive.google.com/drive/folder...

New Orleans cats live very cat lives

Terrifying bumper sticker?

Giant frog head emerging from cracked sidewalk, New Orleans

You deserve to be able to pay your bills and have time off and take care of your family without any side hustles. You deserve to survive and thrive safely without risking your life for someone else's profit or comfort. Immigrants deserve this just as much as citizens. We're all humans just the same.

It was epic! A dude was hollerin "that's the greatest moon I ever seeeeeeen!" to anyone who passed

Idk if ai is inherently fascist (jk it is) but the fascists are definitely whole hog for ai (pigs, slop, etc)

Lace just hits different in New Orleans

Moonrise New Orleans

Bugs don't stand a chance against my homies posted up

After Katrina they used the disaster as an opportunity to mass fire all the unionized teachers (mostly black women) and replaced all the public schools with charters. As I said at the time, New Orleans is the canary in the coalmine for what's coming to the rest of the country.

When it happens he needs to be entombed in the bass pro shop pyramid along with his entire cabinet. Kitsch pharaoh, nuked from space, the land then used as a windmill farm.

Sending love to my New Orleans people today. And sending love to all the people that love New Orleans and helped keep it alive through the darkest days. I'll write something bigger (much bigger) soon, but today I send love and gratitude for the city that made me and the people that I love.

Hello friends I hope you have a trusted IRL community and a plan that doesn't rely solely on outraged posts on social media!
