In honour of the re-establishment of US fascism here is a brief thread about money and the concept of #basicincome and #crypto 🪡 🧵

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

In twelve days, New Yorkers will begin to cast their ballots and face a stark choice.

A choice between democracy and oligarchy. Between a city you can afford or more of the same. Between the hope of a brighter future or a broken past.

We will choose the future.
Zohran on stage at the rally.

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

Again, every time this happens, we literally have no idea if the masked, plainclothes people are actual government agents, or private citizens acting in party-affiliated paramilitaries. The whole point of IDs & uniforms & no masks is that we know these things.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

These are the same kind of weasels who would’ve called George Washington & America’s revolutionaries “terrorists.” They spend their days sucking up to King Trump & demonizing peaceful protest just as some in America sought to appease King George III. 

Looking forward to No Kings Day.

I wrote about this Mitch Hedberg joke that I love:

“I don’t have a girlfriend. I just know a girl who would get really mad if she heard me say that.”

It’s also about how I DO have a girlfriend and how we created a stand-up special together.

I hope you enjoy the piece AND the special, out 11/19!
I made a stand-up comedy special with my girlfriend about my girlfriend. Her name is Rini and the special is called "Rini" and it comes out next month!
Read about it and also other things here! And also other places probably.

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time.

There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Everyone must refer to the 3 digits on the back of your credit card (or 4 on the front in case of Amex) henceforth as "the switch code". Pass it on!

They all have proprietary names like:
- Card Verification Value (CVV)
- Card Security Code (CSC)
- Physical Card Verification (PCV)

But back in the days when I was a Bank Teller at 48 Martin Place, "Switch Code" was the catch all name on monochrome terminals for this thing.

Alright, from now I'm going to refer to it only as a switch code and correct other people when they use the incorrect terminology.
