I read an article a couple days ago where Pike said she was ready to accept death. She said her only fear was a botched execution.

I talked with Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson about how our communities can defend the voting process this November. Some folks reached out and asked me if I could make an episode about this subject because they were tired of simply being told to vote harder and wanted to know what more we could do. ❤️

On Twitter, many years ago, I suggested that the GOP had to be completely destroyed as a U.S. political party. This was PRE-TRUMP. This led to SEVERAL days of a pile on by LIBERALS who tried to run my off the site, lol. Good times... [turns out I probably should have left the site, LOLOLOL]

Public opinion doesn't DO anything and is not correlated with policy. BUT it can be a resource if people want to organize.

I am incensed by sexual violence, and also angry that the systems that have disappointed people are actually working as intended. A system's purpose is what it does. It's pretty hard to make progress without acknowledging that.

I posted in my newsletter about an incarcerated comrade named Kenneth who is running a mobile library in prison. He needed a new cart and some readers generously donated. Here's the new cart! Thanks to those who supported him.
Two men in striped pants and white shirts stand by a cart with books, under a colorful “Perfection” sign on a white brick wall. One holds up two fingers in a peace sign, the other displays a book.

I was excited to go see some new and old horror movies at the theater this October, but between looming deadlines and this messed-up ankle, I will not be getting out much. What new and old horror movies should I stream at home? (Halloween-themed/adjacent TV episodes also welcome.)

I live in one of the city's few low- to middle-income co-ops, and it's a delightful community. We live in separate units, but have a shared yard and a lil garden. At yesterday's monthly meeting, one agenda item read: "[Name redacted] keeps eating all the kale! All veggies are available to everyone!"

Following my recent ankle injury, I will not be leaving my third-floor walk-up for a bit. Yesterday, a bestie stopped by with some chocolate and this card.
Kelly's hand holds a greeting card featuring four startled-looking chickens. Large distressed red text at the top reads, “WHAT THE CLUCK!?”Inside of the card. Printed text reading “YOU’RE A YEAR OLDER!” is crossed out and replaced by handwritten text: “messed up your ankle?” Below, the printed message says, “YOU STILL LOOK LIKE A SPRING CHICKEN.” At the bottom, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” is crossed out and replaced with the handwritten message, “I love you!”

A thing I learned about Meta when I was trying to understand how their statements relate to their actions a few years ago is that *they just tell absolutely indefensible lies* and journalists almost always let them. They believed no one would ever punish them for it in any way that matters.

I haven't had anything to add re: Cornell, because I don't think anyone wants to use this space to reckon with the fact that none of these systems are meant to help you, unless you are a university seeking to minimize your legal exposure. It's not fair to ask strangers to reckon with that here.

Whenever you see a pollster or consultant give a take like this, it’s always worth following the money. In this case, Emanuel has paid Anzalone’s firm nearly $300k (maybe more but that’s what I found so far). A consultant class is devouring the Dem Party www.elections.il.gov/CampaignDisc...

He knows how to win. He knows how to fight.
And he knows how to message.
And no one will out work him. Regardless of whether he wins the Democratic nomination in 2028 he will make an impact on the race. You can be sure of that. Don't take your eyes off of him. At the minimum, learn from him.
