the most important thing in 2028 is electing someone who is a true believer in the project of dismantling right-wing power. if you don't get that, then nothing else will matter very much.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said β€œwe should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

"You want your tax dollars going to feed a kid that's not yours?!" Yeah. I do. A bit weird you're mad about feeding KIDS.

I step from silence
to inhale the shape of sky
etched beneath her skin
and seek no answers
only the stillness of being

I also have no nostalgia for the road to fascism, which is a trap I think a lot of liberal and progressive folks are falling intoβ€”romanticizing the conditions that preceded this moment of acceleration. The path that led to this mess is not the way out.

I didn't dream it, exactly. I wouldn't have known to. Yogurt piled onto a spoon, a little salt and honey. In my other parts of the world this house would have long since given itself to darkness, but tonight it is not yet night, not according to the sky, gradual reveal of its moon like silk dropping from the body. The other moon rippling in the water below. Glasses clink, a mouth opens to release a laugh, teeth catching in the light.

In a world of
constant distraction,
being present
is like finding
the last cookie
in the jar.

Truly listeningβ€”
to Mom’s
recipe stories
or your sibling’s
quirky jokesβ€”
turns ordinary moments
into unexpectedly
delightful treasures.

Two trees ascending to a blue sky

Two trees ascending to a blue sky

There is nothing more true,
More free
Than the tree.

It breathes,
Therefore I breathe…

It need not be asked,
Or brag of its gifts,
Or guard its air with fences.

I look at the tree
To see
What I need
Of empathy.

Black and white picture of Woody Guthrie with his iconic acoutic gutiar, the words: THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS written on the body.

Black and white picture of Woody Guthrie with his iconic acoutic gutiar, the words: THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS written on the body.

Upon the stage
A soft machine
One button on its top

You press it now
And life comes out
A copy of what's not

And on the side
A sticker stuck
By rebels, true and brave

THIS MACHINE
FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
PUTS ARTISTS
IN THEIR GRAVES

~ Woody

German does yearning so well. ’Fernweh’, β€˜far-sickness’, is the longing for distant places, while β€˜Sehnsucht’ is a wistful desire for something intangible. #shoutoutforgerman

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc β€œnational security,” YOU can be disappeared.

When is writing just an excuse
An excuse to be me
An excuse to fight molds
When is writing a flowing river
Being able to ripple through time
Being able to turn on a dime
When is writing a dream floating
Clouds, freedom and no horizons
Writing my excuse

The sun shines on a river flowing through the forest.

The sun shines on a river flowing through the forest.

I found my soul shining
By the sun-loved water,
Beaconed by the shrine of stones
Beyond the fox trail.
They will tell where I met them,
The Jealous Gods
Who hid their eyes in the river.
