Exhausted. Managed to get a draft out of the new essay I'm working on. A lot of research for this one...took me down some unexpected rabbit holes

bro i'm dying

Remember the immortal words of Guitar Wolf

hm. is this going to go hard enough i get to make a single closing tweet full of broadly sweeping (but correct) ideological statements? well, might as well try free palestine, abolish all borders and summarily prosecute all agents of any immigration enforcement force, trans liberation now

this is going off in record time check out my gfm www.gofundme.com/f/help-two-t...

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

hell ya

Alright reading pals! It's time to read the official first book of The Animorphs series! Follow me here by checking out #GlaizaReReadsAnimorphs tag (or mute it maybe?). I shall be adding comments here as well for my small thoughts per chapter!

And will we just vote and wait for our reps to act on this? No. Will we push for ways to get some of this through actions like boycotts and protests and strikes? Hell, yes. Will this take the rest of our fucking lives? Yes, it will. Are we ready for that? Yes, we are, because we love our neighbors.

Get in, losers. We're going to fight.

Will we get this whole list? Even most of it? No. Will we get some of it? MAYBE. If we fight like hell for it. Will we get any of it if we do nothing? Hell, no. Do we HAVE to get some if not most or all of it to safeguard our actual democracy? Yes. So what are we gonna do? Give the fuck up? No.

We have the chance this year to not only take back the House (or if we're dreaming, even the Senate), but to primary the hell of a lot of D losers and shift the party significantly to the left. We have the chance to lean on ALL of our reps to actually do something.

We didn't get Mamdani in NYC by giving the fuck up. We got him because he demanded what people wanted and a bunch of different groups on the left learned from previous fuck ups and united behind him and millions of people said "Huh! We actually CAN do better?" And we fucken did.

Also, for the doomers & deactivists out there... I'm making this list not because I expect the current Democratic Party to fight for any of this, but because WE have to decide what WE'RE going to fight for, and we have the biggest chance to remake the party in 2026 than anyone's had in generations.

I am very wary of new punitive carceral legislation, because as I have learned from listening to folks like @tamaranopper.bsky.social for years, right wingers will eventually weaponize any new law against the people it's supposed to protect. So I'm trying to keep that in mind here.

A suggestion regarding journalism. This sounds good! Ban private equity from a LOT of industries, while we're at it! Why not ban it altogether? bsky.app/profile/dans...

Strip US reps and senators from the right to trade on the stock market, invest in crypto, or bet/gamble through any platform other then penny stakes kitchen table poker.

In other words, you can't own a news org if you make money from any business other than journalism. Because otherwise you can't be trusted not to abuse your power in journalism to support your other businesses. Would that work? Dunno!

Not positive about this one, but something's gotta be done about billionaire control of news orgs. Maybe: Pass legislation prohibiting a billionaire who has assets in any industry separate from journalism from buying any news organization.

Repeal Citizens United.

Tax billionaires out of existence. Break up any company that's "too big to fail."

Pack the Supreme Court. Impeach all members who lied under oath during their confirmation hearings.

Defund corporations that push consumer-facing "A.i." Zero government contracts. Extreme, business-destroying penalties for disinformation, falsehood, and fraud.

Require cable providers to enable customers to selectively eliminate news channels like Fox from their subscription packages for a pro rated discount.

Abolish and defund ICE, of course. Eliminate qualified immunity for all law enforcement, federal and local. Only institute "reforms" that include permanent removal of funding as consequences.

Take every Trump cabinet member and official to civil court for damages against the populace. Strip them of all their assets and nationalize their companies. Leave them with nothing but whatever UBI and public health benefits are passed for everyone.

Cancel all government contracts with Elon Musk and his companies. Shut 'em all down. Remove all government accounts from X.

Ban Kalshi and sports betting and all that scam trash. It's corrupting garbage and there's no reason to let those industries survive.

Destroy the ability of public equity firms to destroy companies and communities. This seems like a good start: www.warren.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

When Ds are back in charge, they have to change everything. No moderate half-measures. Just relentless razing of the corrupt institutions that enriched the worst people in the world and propped up fascism. A few suggestions...

It's like Assault on Precinct 13 in here.

I would like to thank the Halifax Public Liberry system for providing me with a perfect set-up for a random double-bill. You loved Dumb & Dumber, now try

AOC is the best chance that Americans could ever get for real change that would benefit them. The only other person I'd trust would be Ilhan Omar.

Like I dunno man I truly don't think you are gonna find a single better semi-realistic option than the young, nationally recognized woman who has become--right or not--the face of the progressive wing of the Democrats after almost a decade in congress to actually run as a candidate.

Anyone who wants to handwring about AOC--a popular, proven politician who ain't perfect but is close to as Left as Democrats get--as a possible presidential candidate when motherfuckers are out here trumpeting the worst centrist white men alive left and right as The Realistic Choice can sit and spin
