There is no "platform" and no one on this site can honestly say that they know what they would do if they win the House and/or Senate starting in January. What's the immediate first order of business, for example? No voter can say. It has not been communicated to anyone.

Schumer and Jeffries HAVE said a few things: 1. No Impeachment proceedings against Trump. 2. No Medicare 4 All 3. Continued "support" for Israel Feel free to add the other things you've heard them say on TV etc... over the past 6 months. THAT is the agenda.

“The show must go on!” Despite recent turbulence (see my husband’s recent posts: we are ok but somebody tried to burn our house down), I am still altogether chuffed to perform tonight with John Wiese at this ridiculously stacked bill in Richmond, VA

this summer in Beijing I had my head split open by an amazing festival called You and Me that was organized by 19 year old Zhao Ziyi. I have a feature article in the new issue of @thewiremagazine.bsky.social about this festival and Yan Jun and Mattin’s performances in particular. Check it out!

My partner did a tarot reading for me, soundtracked by “Can Such Delightful Times Go On Forever?” by @drewdaniel.bsky.social, and the first card drawn was Temperance (the card that Crowley renamed “Art”). Auspicious!

Two married professors and their son are being held in ICE detention, despite being legal permanent residents and having no criminal records. All, apparently, because their mom/MIL was a translator for the Iranian hostage takers in 1979, before they were even born. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

This stabs me with guilt because I wanted to see that Orcutt Shelley Miller show badly but also Evicshen and Lexie Mountain were also playing that same night so the actual Matmos guys (at least for now) went to the noise show instead. Sorry! We sent clones to confuse people.

Trump has monetized the presidency far more than any before him, reaping a stunning windfall in his first year back in the White House, including about $1.4bn from his family’s cryptocurrency businesses. All told, the president pulled in at least $2.2bn in 2025, a figure that includes other parts
