A week after the election, I talked with @anamariecox.bsky.social about our race, AIPAC, and how we’re trying to not just keep *our* mutual aid operation going, but make it a nationwide strategy: newrepublic.com/article/2080...

THE TR Q&A
Kat Abughazaleh on Losing, Mutual Aid, and What Comes Next
The upstart candidate for the Illinois House fell short on election night, but she may have pioneered a new way of community-based campaigning.

You closed the gap significantly in the final week. What do you think you figured out too late—or did you just leave it all on the field?
I truly feel like we left it all on the field. But with another week, that's another week of dishonest AIPAC ads, or them straight-up advertising for my progressive opponents to split the field. They had to invent new forms of rat fucking because they couldn't win clean. I was talking to my therapist this morning, and I told her it just feels unfair—we never went after anyone's personal life, we didn't do any dirty tricks. She asked if I could go back, would I have done those things? And the honest answer is no. But it doesn't make it suck less.

What's next for you?
We're trying to figure out how to scale the mutual aid model—not just keeping our hub going but offering it as almost a pilot program for voter turnout to candidates across the country, especially at the state and local level.
A lot of people running have already reached out asking for advice on working with 501(c)
(3)s, making events accessible, keeping the barrier to entry low. We want this to be the expectation, not the exception.

On March 14, 1969, 99 Women debuted in West Germany. Here’s some art inspired by the grindhouse classic!

Midnight Express (1978)

Erich (Norbert Weisser) baths Billy (Brad Davis) while marking the days in a Turkish prison.

Columbia Pictures wanted Richard Gere for the lead but Gere refused to audition for the role. The director Alan Parker and the producers rejected this notion and continued to try out other actors. They were aiming for Brad Davis, who was for the most part "unknown" in the studio's mindset. The excuse that the studio came up with was that Brad Davis appeared cross-eyed and didn't look the part. The director took him to an optometrist to verify that he wasn't.

In real life Billy Hayes and Erich had a consensual relationship while in prison, in the film Billy rejects Erich's advances.

Brad Davis won the Golden Globe for for New Star of the Year and Best Motion Picture Acting Debut.

This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.

When I was getting my broken ankle x-rayed and booted in Bellevue, I walked by a lot of people carrying protest signs and I smiled at them through my grimaces of pain lol. I was with them in spirit with my sign.

I am currently on my way to another hearing regarding my federal charges for protesting ICE. When I say our leaders must be willing to put everything on the line, I mean it. And frankly, I see it as the bare minimum in this moment.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

Re-Watching Spirit Halloween: The Movie (2022)! I would like to believe that kids would love to spend the night in a Spirit Halloween & find it pretty cool...unfortunately, with fewer kids dressing up anymore & 1/2 the costumes in the store being inappropriate, it might be a bad idea anyway!
