Hello. They are going to try to fuck with your vote, and we are NOT going to let them. Last week I pinged my friend Dana Chisnell, who knows how elections work, and said "Hey, let’s make it hard for them to fuck with us.” Today, we are very proud to announce the HOW TO VOTE zine. howtovote.tips

How to Vote / Cómo Votar
A free field guide to what stops people from voting, and what to do about it. English and Spanish, ready to print.

To folks who think caving on things like “Lake America” doesn’t matter in the long run… It does. It invites more such ego-serving It suggests that there’s no push back. It teaches people to expect more of the same. It matters.

Monsters are in charge, and absolutely everyone has lost their goddamn minds. So, follow your dreams, friends. No one should have imposter syndrome or an inner saboteur at this point. Friendship is magic.

This video clip of a swan landing on a lake is best enjoyed with AUDIO ON. Mute swans (Cygnus olor) are among the heaviest flying birds & require a long runway, which means we get the majestic approach, a few furious moments of webbed feet slapping on water, then the majestic splashdown.

Jesus definitely did not say rape is no big deal. (Also pretty sure none of the women in the senate are rapists.) So tired of the whataboutery and excuse-mongering.

Most people have been Prime Minister of the United Kingdom by now I was prime minister back in 2025. I was appointed at 3:17am my time, then removed in a vote of no confidence at 3:19am, so I slept through my entire term but I’m honored to have served

Two things are true at once: we really shouldn’t have trillionaires. And we really, really shouldn’t have a trillionaire who is an openly racist & deeply dishonest person with the charitable instincts of a rock. Even if it’s fake worth, it’s real leverage and power. Anti good

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

The guy sitting behind me is softly talking about AI to his buddy. Something about breaking down tasks. His German accent makes it sound better. Lol, I just heard “fix your agent”.

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

I decided to give the National Design Studio its own page, so I could better track all the 1-page websites they've created dogetrack.info/agencies/nds/

National Design Studio
In August, EO 14338 created the National Design Studio, with DOGE member Joe Gebbia subsequently named Chief Design Officer. Is this really something new or just the old DOGE playbook under a new name...

The night after the murder of Melissa Hortman, the Democratic legislator in Minnesota, the Yankees were at the Red Sox and neither team requested a moment of silence. For an actual public servant. Who we choose to hold a moment of silence for and who we do not are silences that speak volumes.
