Artist and Native Texan. Probably about to be a Texpat. Believes very much in the role that art plays in the progress of a civil society and the development of democratic philosophy.

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Im just a lowly artist, but it seems to me that the strongest position is to use the label of “Epstein Class” from Sen. Ossoff and run with it. The American myth likes wealth accumulation, but it doesn’t like greed and cronyism. We should be pounding that Republicans protect the Epstein class.

Abbott and his ilk are part of the Epstein class, who think that money buys freedom from accountability. Texans don’t mind wealthy people, we mind very much greedy people, and the Texas GOP definitely protects greed.

I think you should leverage the looming water crisis in Corpus as an example of failed republican leadership: they have known for decades that climate was an issue , yet their myopia allowed a permission structure of unchecked capitalism…

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.

But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.

That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

A rogue president with a loyal DOJ isn’t unstoppable, unless we act like peasants. Courts can stop him. States can sue him. Whistleblowers can expose him. But it takes all of us, loud, sharp, fed up. Power bends to pressure. So push. Hard. Clean House with your votes, or get steamrolled. Our call.

Remember that several people asked Pam Bondi during confirmation SPECIFICALLY what she would do on matters pertaining to Qatar (which she did not disclose) or GEO (pertinent to the Baraka arrest). She said she'd consult top career lawyer at DOJ abt recusal.

Then she fired that lawyer.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago.

It also received $22M in federal aid.

While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

Go to the online DC or Florida Bar orgs and file a complaint against Pam Bondi for not complying with the Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador. Her bar # is 886440.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

Fired But Fighting

Dear CDC friends. Today was the most foolish of April Fool's days. We have not just lost jobs. With entire teams and offices being cut, we have lost vast amounts of institutional knowledge. Take the time you need to grieve. Then join your fired colleagues in the fight.
