The news of Rob Reiner's death has really shocked me like everyone else and I cried last night finding out. One of the worst nightmare tragic ways to pass through this world. He seemed to live a good and fulfilling life. Trying to do meaningful things and able to exist in a creative paradise and it was taken away violently and coldly. I guess the only consolation is he had many years that fulfilled all of these aims and dreams. I hope light and peace are on the other side of this cruel and callous plane. R.I.P. to him and his wife.

A lot to say but so much in the meantime of each time want to go and write, yet the Trump news timeline waits for no one to take a breath. However.... wow New Yorkers 😍

My four blisters from canvasing for Mamdani was well worth the win and the days fretting over if it was possible in believing something hopeful being fulfilled. 

Fuck your bitter zionist racist bloodlust Cuomo and the billionaire ghouls eager to have funded you. 

To contribute in crushing an entitled predator with his greedy dreams of continuing his family's dynasty into the political dirt is heart warming indeed. 

💖

Oh New Yorkers you have the chance to do the right thing tomorrow/today and I happen to be here to possibly witness it in real time, to grind your parasite ex-governor into the dirt politically or do the worst thing....

I've done canvasing shifts and while they have been mostly positive yet you do get some people who look at you as if you just asked them to be beamed up onto on a spaceship. 

Cuomo I was thinking about it a couple days ago after observing his Instagram, that like is this even a real campaign or a money laundering scheme? Mamdani is running a marathon of a campaign while Cuomo is in one of those rowing boats in the Central Park lake waving at spectators saying it's fine everything is great. 'Here's a poll that says I'm only losing by 7 points now!' Maybe us Mamdani supporters will get shattered and the groping sex pest is on to something we don't know. Yet who thinks this creep is actually running a campaign that he believes he can win and doing everything possible? What are Cuomo and Trump doing behind the scenes and what lobbying job is lined up for him after he has lined his pockets from this?

I almost wish that so much wasn't riding on this politically, bigger than Mamdani, and yet that this what the fates have decided, so New Yorkers are you listening?

If you could allow the political powers that be to go after children, one of the most vulnerable and oppressed groups in the world, whom are trans, one of the the most stigmatized identities, than what's stopping them from coming after you eventually? Or if that doesn't matter, your loved ones? Do you people ever think for more than a minute? Or is it all reactionary panicking constantly under the guise of smarmy intellect, hierarchical games, and paper tiger morality for you?

 

If the Democrats think abortion rights can be settled in the manner similar to a hostage negotiation to get their voters to compromise on this human right, they can think again and eat shit. I will watch that party burn itself to ashes in their billionaire donors' hands.

What will you the Democratic party, and your smug pseudo intellects, technocrat columnists, corporate neo fascists backing the professional 'polling tells us...' groups, and Weekend at Biden's collaborators say when abortion is banned? Maybe that's what is going on...they are waiting for the hammer to come down and they don't have the backbone or the courts or backbone to do anything about the courts, so they are repositioning. 

Could they be this stupid, certainly they could be this immoral but to be this politically stupid? I don't trust you politically whatever side you position yourself to be on if protecting reproductive rights aren't important to your political plans and fight. Women and girls don't need more sacrificing since the fall of Roe by the party that pleaded only they could restore the rights lost. And you wonder why people don't trust your party and/or hate the DNC? 

Would you Erza Klein and Neera Tanden like to explain your position by going to host townhalls explaining why we must give up and give in to welcoming politicians who are forced birthers into the Democratic party? Will the NY Times pay for that Ezra or you just want to stay huddled inside your podcast? Will Butcher Blinken be assisting you Neera, since you assisted him into a cushy position at Center for American Progress as he helped assist your genocidal boss into annihilating Gaza? Would you care to help incinerate the Democratic party as well Neera?

I am really baffled by this idea that Kirk was assassinated by Israel coming from left wing online media type figures. Like can you slow your roll or just stop the stupidity altogether? Occam's razor anyone? Do you think Butcher Bibi doesn't have other things he's concerned with, with a literal holocaust he is caryying out, then Kirk souring on him? That maybe he is giving condolences to suck up to all the right wing figures and donors? Do you think "we" the United States (and broader West in general) are the puppet of Israel or the one pulling the actual strings? As Israel is a colonial outpost for eyes, ears, and Nuclear weapons in the Middle East, and training ground for police, war games, and surveillance. It's not some boogeyman hands of the Elders of Zion conspiracy. The West want to rule the world and pillage it through colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, supremacy, and surveillance. Israel is the vessel for all of this. Ironically same people who thought people speculating Trump having any suspicious connections with Russia was dumb libs pacifying themselves, are the ones like 'Omg Mormon kid who loved guns a patsy for Mossad? And Candance and Tucker actually on our side?' Bfr. 🙄

No one who capitulated and humiliated themselves to sign up for honoring Charlie Kirk day, will help lead you out of this. That's all the Senate Dems by the way. We are in the wilderness and when you don't feel the road ahead is anywhere nearby, nor that it will lead eventually to good and fruitful prospects, people stop walking, stop aspiring, quit long term planning, halt their hopes and kill off their dreams. They merely get enough rest to rise and survive. Going further is too much strain on the heart and it's broken so much hasn't it? Too much of America exists in an inertia they themselves don't have the willpower to get up and move on from. We as Americans and the world had ten years to work this out and instead we ended up hauled into an active volcano.

I think very often of a quote back in 2015, of a man re-accounting being at a pizza parlor with the guy behind the counter looking at the TV watching Trump and saying it's over. 

The customer asked "The election?" 

The man responded "America."

If neither the party, nor progressive groups and organizers on the ground, couldn't organize to do everything to stop a comeback, well maybe the playbooks needs to start over. Yet we might not be granted that leeway nor time. However...Maybe...We are just another sorry arc in history and a blip in the tragedy of the human experiment. Perhaps one day people can take our sorry hard learned lessons and fight for everything they believe in and desire, when dangers arise in their own particular times and troubles.

Somehow we survive

and tenderness, frustrated, does not wither.

Investigating searchlights rake

our naked unprotected contours;

over our heads the monolithic decalogue

of fascist prohibition glowers

and teeters for a catastrophic fall;

Boots club on the peeling door.

But somehow we survive

severance, deprivation, loss.

Patrols uncoil along the asphalt dark

hissing their menace to our lives.

most cruel, all our land is scarred with terror,

rendered unlovely and unlovable;

sundered are we and all our passionate surrender

but somehow tenderness survives.

First they came for those Free Palestine people that were very loud and inconvenient, that were deemed expendable threats for state and higher institutions purposes almost 2 years ago. Then in the present day they came for one of the biggest comedians on television because he quipped in his monologue about MAGA online demanding their side had nothing to do with the shooting. Though not everyone knew the who and what fully, yet people in the frenzy make narratives and people react to them, even though Kimmel said he wished prayers for Kirk's family. If they can go after this guy you're not safe from getting a crack down. Wonderful! 

All the wealthy and bloated crybaby anti woke comedians/corporate comedy sports and LOL commentary mouthpieces, happen to be mysteriously silent on the firing and deflecting blame that what is occurring actually isn't! 

It seems like a lot of you are not principled in the slightest?  🤔

On another weird upside down note, some of the far right media figures are going with 'Charlie was maybe taken out by Mossad?', while their online supporters say it was the leftist trans agenda that did Kirk in. Strange and dangerous times. 

Very embarrassing people on the left flirting with the Israel angle, make it make sense. 🙄

"it's always two dumb bitches telling each other exactlyyyy…."

black-pilled by Charlie Kirk death seen as comedy, but not Gaza genocide as an ongoing tragedy

You were black-pilled by some people on social media happy/relieved/making fun of/not caring/not upset about what happened to Kirk but not the genocide going on in Gaza, that we ALL can see on our phones 24/7 for almost two years? And I'm suppose to take you seriously about this outrage radicalizing you when you don't take your own humanity seriously? 

"It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible"

 

As for both journalists and everyone else who were (and still are) acting like sociopaths the last couple days online....If you can't participate in talking about politics without endangering the lives of trans people maybe fix your hearts? Isn't Jesus about that? Wouldn't Jesus say 'I think David Lynch had a salient point there'? Why do you believe in Jesus anyway if you're so cruel? Are you waiting for him to save you? What makes your hateful self worth saving in his name? I'm not even religious like that and yet I think I'd at least be a better candidate for that kind of life. One of the best pieces of advice my father ever told me was to not trust people who say they know God and say they speak to him, those are things not accessible to us in this life. And yet I definitely know that man who left this mortal plane a couple days ago was not some vessel for God's love. The hagiography around him is shameless but I expected it though from his side, it's how it goes the myth making on that side, however some of you foolish liberals...

The treatment of trans people merely in retaliation to him is fucking sickening. For those of you who choose to remain this way, I hope the God you desire for acceptance and forgiveness and his love never finds you. That the God you crave looks down on you in disgust and mortification. That he recoils hearing your words and pleas to him, because he can't believe he crafted such vengeful abominations, that have the nerve to describe themselves as caring human beings all in the Lord's name. 

The Unforgivable Sin of Ms Rachel

Maybe I'm being too dark in my speculations, but I wonder if we are in the early days of a militant anti-vax movement taking shape in the same way the forced birth movement manifested. People likely don't remember a lot of the violence and threats in the early years of Covid, screaming and threatening school boards kind of things. Plenty of healthcare workers were threatened and physically assaulted as well. A friend of mine who was going to an appointment for their Covid shot had it delayed due to a bomb threat called in. Almost a month ago a mass shooter attacked the CDC building in Georgia. I met a man at an event for Gaza and when we discussed Covid and masking, he told me how he was targeted with abuse at his job by customers just cause he masked. I consider myself lucky so far. Though I remember the glare of this older white woman Boomer cunt at the store staring at me from a semi distance like she wanted to rip my mask off, as if I couldn't do that there. She didn't notice I could see her inquisitive urgency to confront me, so I invoked a tight pointed angry glare in her direction looking past her. There was a man recently who I sensed he wanted to stare me down but I wouldn't let him dominate, yet these are very rare in such a long time span, but it's just so stupid it had to even happen. It's America, every man for themself, you all proved that to everyone. Well done, so mind your own business.

I observe a lot of anti vax-anti Covid-anti mask commentators on social media to the determinant of my psychological well being. They frighten me. The sheer idiocy, the risk they pose for public health, and the power in their determination to stop actual substantive  healthcare, medicine, and science. I don't care if it comes from good intentions or someone has some heart of gold. That's still a threat to my health and everyone else's. Many have characteristics similar to forced birthers. Driven not by knowledge but emotion and the desire to dominate and control others. Living in magical fantasies of good and evil, simple and easy, and no one can be wrong, only the bad people are wrong. They speak with such disdain and are so confident in their convictions, like religious zealots and just as dangerous. I totally see them getting onboard with doctors, scientists, healthcare workers, and researchers being targeted to be killed. I always knew America would not handle a pandemic well, I just had wrongfully assumed Covid would no longer be a problem five and a half years later. And now we are walking toward a whole slew of other viruses emerging breaking containment. Not only because of the 'I dug up my ex wife that I psychologically tortured for years' Kennedy, but because this country is chronically sick in individualism, cruelty, anti-education, anti-intellect, and anti-empathy. 

And a culture of:

 'Make Me Laugh On Demand!!' 

'Make Me Angry On Demand!!' 

'Make Me Afraid of My Neighbor!!" 

'Make Me Fearful I Beg You!!'

'Make Me Hate, I'm In Pain!!'

'Don't Tell Me What To Do, Just Tell Me What I Want To Hear, Right Now!!' 

*maybe I should have more sympathy for such a scammed and scared populace that make up anti vaxxer land, because healthcare is a Kafkian labyrinth in this country. And even with great healthcare it is a possible nightmare, that can be yanked out from under you at any time. What makes the best case for vaccines that it isn't a conspiracy? The wealthy and powerful want to live as long as possible and that only works with healthcare and medical advances. Medicine needs to be available enough to the rest of us peasants as well. But I know this rationale doesn't feel good to this crowd so good luck seriously, we are all going to need it and too many aren't going to be that lucky.

Now we can put to bed the baby argument of her promoting some trad wife aspiration from one photo put out. Also it's a low bar but so many pop stars and celebrities have abandoned supporting trans people and drag queens when they did before. So what wouldn't seem like much and pretty normal 7 years ago now is for lack of a more adequate term radical in the face of all the anti LGBTQ terror.  Less self-serving for a pop star (in contrast to those who used LGBTQ people in the past to prop themselves up) when it's a time where it really matters when politically trans people are being told to face the wall.

 

Will the left finally take Covid seriously as the greatest health crisis and health challenge of our time*? I don't believe so, but I'll never understand why. Covid conscious people on twitter can be inexcusable in toxicity and drama, but they are people who feel and have been cast out of society due to illness and disability, due to Covid itself many instances. Why not think of how and why they are that way, instead of using it as an excuse to not deal with what is in front of us all. I see all these people (and bots) online denying Covid loudly, angrily, melting down, and lol emojis about vaccines and masks. Yet people I talk to in real life seem to at least get it. Not that that's moved the needle. Did the anti vaxxers make some of the left so timid and neglectful of Covid or are they just like all humans in denial of the challenging things we face in the world, much out of our control. In one way I don't want to hear about Medicare 4 All without the acknowledgement of Covid but that would admit to mistakes and ignorance, and how many people are up for humility?

*outside of the brain worm Kennedy menace 

So the brain worm public health menace is trying to do what I feared and believed would come to pass, by taking away the Covid vaccine. This isn't solely on him though tbh. Fuck you and fuck your 'Covid isn't ACTUALLY real 😂 but it was a bio weapon meant to destroy us actually 😡 the vaccines are causing Long Covid checkmate lib 😎 but TRUMP created the vaccine and you better show him respect 😤... that's why it's time to hunt Fauci 👹'

People are hyper fixated with others' appearances in this country. While this could be applicable to other places, since I have only ever lived here, I'll just start my rant from here. Americans can't stop obsessing about if other people are overweight/fat, if they bend or outright reject gender norms, and/or being trans. There is an insatiable compulsion in the psyches of many Americans to say horrible and demeaning comments to these "others." Not just amongst themselves or their own hateful shithead circles, but to let these specific "others" know. These brave bullies have to make sure that these "others" need to be made aware they are abhorrent, should stay under the covers, or put a gun in their mouth. That they are unlovable and worst of all unfuckable, which is considered the greatest honor in America besides being wealthy and popular, to be seen as physically desired by anyone. A person being fat or trans really brings out the heart of an authoritarian in the most mediocre and meek American citizen. The policing and surveillance of people's bodies and appearances if you take a step back, should make you afraid of what that could mean for anyone. Especially in the year 2025.

What Trump is doing in DC is not a distraction or political theater, it is a plan, it is an end goal. They are literally rigging the maps for the House. Early 21st America in its end game, the orders carried out by a multiracial gestapo on top of it. 

The hypocrisy and smugness of liberal zionists' (or god forbid people who call themself progressive zionist) anger at MAGA supporters who are cheering on the ICE Raids and D.C. takeover, have no self reflection supporting what the serial killers of the IDF are doing. That what the IDF is carrying out is acceptable to you zionists, a necessary strategy for the morally bankrupt and vile homeland that comforts your fantasies. Coddles your small acidic hearts as better and more deserving, which you'd rather have than being seen as a human equal to the Palestinians, who are humans. What makes you better than the Trump supporters guzzling down ICE raid viewings for pleasure? You're not separate just because you hate Trump. You're both on equal low moral ground. You have no superiority. You should own that at the very least. Blatant hypocrisy fitted with denialism is ugly attire. Yet you all wear it well.

Imprisoning state legislators and coercing them to sign papers for them to be surveillanced by the police? And you're waiting for the mid-terms to save you? The fascists are also coming after the museums and what they want are those archives to destroy/hide/distort/and wash over. The fascists aren't concerned as coming across with overreach, they understand that many in the American public don't pay attention and are very uneducated, and even more so uninterested in education through something like a museum you have to explore and gain info from. Many Americans see education as manipulative, something that can change you and they don't want to be changed. They want to feel good through entertainment and not be confronted with tough questions or complex and discomforting knowledge. So we are kind of being cooked and boiled right now.
