Welp, now seems a good a time as any to unequivocally state that I am an anti-fascist and that I oppose any form of authoritarianism from the right, left, or center.
We cannot allow supposed threats of being labeled as terrorists cow us into silence!
Unfortunately, the Democrats will take more from the victories of centrists A. Spanberger and M. Sherrill than they will Mamdani.
Therefore, we can expect more centrist positions from the Democrats in the 2026 midterms.

Inspiring stuff.

In the past week we’ve sent:

$5100 in SNAP support

$2350 in monthly stipends to unhoused & recently folks

$1100 for eviction prevention

This week we will send:

$2100 to reconnect recently housed people’s power, who are without necessary medical equipment while it’s shut off

TOTAL: $10,650 🖤🏴
Finally read the entirety of Galina Rymbu's article. One of the best advocacies for leftist resistance in 🇺🇦 I've read to date. It also effectively explains how far-right actors infiltrate leftist spaces.

Love seeing the National Guard operating out of an unmarked van at the McPherson metro station in DC.

This whole frozen funds debate is also reinforcing your argument that Western Euros are suicidally unserious. "My banking sector relies on letting the fascists that want to kill us all park their money here" is pure insanity made into policy.

Editors would reject this dinner "scene" in a book's rough draft for being too on the nose.

Parks Police is notorious among the unhoused community in DC for being particularly brutal.

We did a camp defense years ago on NPS property & a resident who’d been unhoused for decades said we had to be ready for them to “come in batons swinging… they’ll crack skulls.”
The potential ramifications of media consolidation and subservience will only increase #Trump's and #MAGA's power.
Evidence of this can be seen in 🇭🇺 and 90's 🇷🇺.
Amid the praise for #Poland's economic performance is a dangerous increase in radical right sentiment. The cancelation of this concert coincides with an increase in popularity of the far right Konfederacja and the even more rightwing KKP.

Yesterday marked the first formal opportunity the D.C. Council has given residents and activists to sound off on increased cooperation between MPD and ICE since President Donald Trump declared a crime emergency in mid-August.

More than 50 people signed up to speak, the maximum allowed.
D.C. residents speak out against MPD’s work with ICE at D.C. Council
Local cooperation with immigration enforcement has become a flash point since the federal surge in D.C.

If someone is advocating for doing high risk activities, esp if it's someone you're new to, STAY AWAY from that person.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.
Sometimes I see the prices of tattoos, legos, and whisky and think about how easy and lucrative it would be to become a rightwing grifter...
