2/2/26 - No. 33 “EFTA00004012” This is a redacted photo from the most recent Epstein files release. The title is the first page of this set indicating it’s a roll of film; the photo itself is actually labeled EFTA00004034. The monolithic black bar covers the identity of whoever is in the photo.

I painted 31 watercolors for January. I am painting a 2”x 2” watercolor every day for all of 2026. I am doing this to create a habit of making art every day and to keep a visual record of the year.

1/1/26 No. 1 “Our New Mayor” Zohran Mamdani being sworn in as New York City’s mayor. I zoomed in on his hand placed on a Quran held by his wife ramaduwaji - he is the first Muslim mayor of NYC and the first to use a Quran for the swearing in.

Would be great if people in our community stopped treating unpaid activists being treated like a public service. If you think someone isn't doing this work well enough, go and do it yourself. Backseat driving is always easier. Sorry, but this stuff is a real problem. This work is really hard.

The trope is usually that there’s an evil advisor vying for power from a naive, but kind, leader. The leader isn’t supposed to be stupid and also evil?? Also the advisor is not supposed to be stupid either.

PERSONAL: today is my infusion day (a delightful immunosuppressant for treating my chronic illness) but that means I have LOTS of time to really look things up. What do you want to know about the US Department of Education and/or public K-12 education in general?

While we wait to see what happens with ED and related funding, here are some things you can do: 1. Find the percentage of federal funding schools near you receive 2. Follow your school district and teachers union on social media/their newsletter 3. Be loud with your support for trans students 🏳️⚧️

So this guy is a self-described Christian nationalist who wants to use federal funds to enforce far-right Christian beliefs. Doesn’t bode well for public schools!

Be careful organizing with parts of the left who repeat Putinist talking points. (I’m not relitigating!! but I don’t believe that people who align with Trump’s bff are all that bothered he won. Or very motivated to fight against him 🤷♀️)

Friends: I do not want to see any kvetching about people on the left who didn't vote for Harris. Those mistakes didn't decide this. White supremacists & whoever else wouldn't vote for a Black woman did this. Misogynoir. The enemy is WHITE SUPREMACY and FASCISM. Solidarity time. Now. Shore up.

Some of you have not obsessively read Wikipedia pages of historical/current dictators in an attempt to fall asleep only to stay up planning how you’d survive under their rule instead and it shows.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate.

Do I think the “both parties are the same” argument reduced voter turnout? Yes. Did the Democrats also fail to make a good enough case to counter this? Yes. But ultimately I’m most angry with actual Trump voters. They did this.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder

People really out here acting like a genocide announces itself like “Hello my honey hello my darling, I’m a Holocaust” They don’t walk up to you and introduce themselves as “I am a genocide.” You have to recognize the pattern and name it yourself. This is what Raphael Lemkin wanted us to do.

An actual literal coup attempt was made, and immediately the Republican Party normalized it to maintain political power. And then Democrats, like the fools they are, insisted upon normalizing Republicans.

I oppose authoritarianism across the political spectrum because it serves nobody except those in power. I do not want to work with or support those who promote authoritarian theory and tactics. We NEED a leftist coalition, but I don’t believe the authoritarian left can safely be part of that.

I hear this, I really do. But Democrats can make the lives of every Republican in both chambers a living hell until they break. I would like to see John Thune cry on national television. I would like Mike Johnson to beg for mercy. I want every minute of power to be like nails on a chalkboard.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

Leftist men who act like assholes then threaten “wait until you meet the assholes in ICE” when they’re called out are… not allies of any sort. (I’m assuming he’s threatening ICE bc of my last name, but I’m American! Some real freaks on bsky!)
