Today is only the beginning. Our time has come, New York. Our time is now.

The greed of the rich will bring ruin upon us all.

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits

The u.s. is rich with violences and it has made us all it’s abundant shareholders.

DST is why most Americans wake by alarm in darkness. Permanent Standard Time would let us sleep longer and awaken naturally to sunlight, for health!

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

Praying for everyone. What a terrible situation.

I have a new piece, read in a revolutionary whisper, up on Substack

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

A reminder in response to demands for reforms that keep expanding the scope & power of policing: It's not simply that ICE wears face coverings & doesn't wear cameras. We can't fix a policing force created to disappear our neighbors by requiring more training, rules, or tech. It must be abolished.

there are no antifa meetings or leaders but there are food kitchens, distribution events, mutual aid resources, thrift shops, and more.

I might have to have this made for my truck since my family did run moonshine

Throwback to my handy graphic from 2024

Just sitting here thinking about how Disney indoctrinated an entire generation of US kids to believe the only way we could build a better world was by “escaping” our communities and families, moving to larger cities where things were “more progressive”.

Michigan Avenue right now.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

If this concerns you please join @interruptcrim.bsky.social October 28-29 for Abolition Means ALL Carceral Spaces, including civil commitment, mandated & coerced medical interventions etc., to strategize to keep all of us from all kinds of control www.interruptingcriminalization.com/events/all/a...

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

I get sad when I see people calling for things like 25a or impeachment. We are past the point where institutional tools can fix what ails the USA. I don't have an answer. We should be suspicious of those who do. Probably mass scale civil resistance is the best option left?

Feeling inspired to write lately. I have a new poem, read in a revolutionary whisper, up on my Substack

I can't post it here because I refuse to have to divide my video up. But my poem for tashlich is up on Substack and Insta! open.substack.com/pub/expertle...

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity. "To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

I was just cooking dinner, thinking about how rich people invented the concept of "networking" so they could pay themselves lavish salaries to hang out with their friends and play golf.

Tysm again to everyone who has already donated to my GoFundMe for CoL/legal fees from being fired for calling out WGU President and millionaire Scott D. Pulsipher for neo-nazi sympathizing during our All Hands on 9.11.25. We’ve raised almost $2k so far: gofund.me/64a7ae0d7

They're openly saying they want to sacrifice LGBTQ people and the planet to appease fascists. This is not only a losing strategy, this is morally repugnant. Every single one of these people should be ashamed, but we know they won't because they are amoral sociopaths.

I’m loath to go to Orwell but I think “duckspeak” is a useful concept for this moment. Kirk was fundamentally a duckspeaker, filling thousands of hours with ambient malicious quacking, which is why his elite allies can’t quote him and never actually listened. www.orwelltoday.com/duckspeak.sh...

Does anyone else ever wonder if the reason we're so obsessed with celebrities is that every single one of us is putting on an act every single day of our lives just to get by, and we kind of think we deserve to be known for our acting too?

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Elon, fresh off attempting to incite race riots in England is now trying to incite pogroms against trans people.

I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?

excellent. MORE OF THIS.

Industrialists pervert the word “accessible” to explain the globally introduced phenomena of cheap plastic products. In the short-term, it filled their pockets. Over the long term, it contaminates, sickens, disables, and kills us, filling our bodies with micro- / nanoplastics.

My neighbor in Orlando mentioned this EXACT concern to me last night!

Trump is declaring war on an American city and American citizens. This is exactly how we spiral into a civil conflict.

Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didn’t believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.

No lies detected.

The administration plans to attack public festivities in Chicago around Mexican Independence Day (which may include this weekend's parade in Pilsen or related activities) because they want to attack folks in settings where people will try to protect and hold onto community members.

I saw that viral video of the most amazingly supportive disabled in-home wedding with close loved ones who all masked 5 days prior to the event and lovingly organized a low-key, beautiful, chill wedding. And it allowed me to sob and scream release my lack of any similar support.

DOJ is openly stating that "trannies shouldn't have guns." The Trump administration is moving to strip trans people of their 2nd amendment rights. Nothing good ever comes out of an authoritarian regime stripping a minority group of owning guns.

You are enough. You WILL make mistakes. It's okay to make mistakes. Making mistakes doesn't mean you're a failure. You can grow and learn from your mistakes. You deserve people who forgive you for your mistakes, give you grace, and help/watch you grow. You are not broken. And you are loved.

"Biological" is a meaningless category wrt sex distinctions. Everyone is biological. "Woman" is not a biological category, but a social one.
