You would not know there is a very important midterms going on in my neck of the woods of Northampton County or that Shapiro was running for reelection. The signs on roadways are mostly sparse or Republicans. Personal house signs are sparse but when I see them they are mostly Dems, but it's still small. Haven't ventured everywhere, not like the places where I chauffeured NYC canvasing helpers back in 2024 with the huge Trump flags placed and waved like God was returning for retribution. (How's that going? Not the kind of retribution you thought we'd be getting right?) Bob Brooks has no real ads or outreach but I get swamped by pro and negative MacKenzie ads. Someone I know watches a different area of YouTube so they get a lot of ads. I just use Youtube for music mostly, so maybe I'm missing things. 

PA-7 is the bellwether and it encompasses more than Northampton despite Susan Wild losing PA-7 overall she won here in 2024, despite Casey and Haris withering away. Kind of matched how close the electoral college was in a way. I don't know what the Northampton County Dems are doing and PA All In is gone, no outreach. Tons of texts of Shapiro begging for money, though I know he's trying to focus on state legislation being flipped, but could do better even though he is running against another weak far right psychopath. Susan Wild ran a real machine and something happened after the election loss in 2024 for the Dems own organizing out here it seems, kinda of not great. 

Maybe I'm wrong and to be honest I'm not attached to the midterms cause I don't have faith in the DNC, it feels like a red herring of sorts also. 'Don't focus on the structural, look how bad Trump is doing!' 'The people who want to keep the lights on but don't want to change things, those grownups need some of the keys handed over from the mad men heading the asylum right now, to at least turn the fan on, since it's so uncomfortable and stuffy feeling under all those fires happening in the building. Gee how will we ever put them out when we get power again?'

Did you see the new "Revolution rooted in reality" (!!!) ad on healthcare, it's called Medicare for Americans? (We are forever in VEEP land) Doesn't that get your hope and juices flowing peasants, bums, and serfs? Why would anyone have any hope in this project....but continue to throw trans people and kids under the bus, that will do it!!! 🙄

Mamdani honeymoon over and hitting the cold light of a blast of water on the face of the bullshit of the political infrastructure we are under...

Oh almost forgot to mention the Northampton County Dem outreach that I did get occurred a week ago because of my loyal support (I guess the canvassing?) That I am invited to a gala a week and a half before the election for $125 a ticket with special guest Chris Deluzio (he took over Connor Lamb's old seat). Like...speechless to be honest and a bit of rage eye roll. 

If it's a blue wave-wave will that even do anything? Who's even running on anything having a message or plan of sorts for 2028 besides Van Hollen who likely wouldn't get the nom, you have to have optics. Did you see all the shitty Harris polls and support? Then right behind nipping at her heels, is the backstabber with a pen and a smile carting away the homeless possessions Newsom? Voters man... 

Every generation faces the same situation of aging and realizing the world you grew up in and influenced you in your prime years of education and experience to prepare you for the world ahead no longer exists. Many events have also caused the "the world you grew up in no longer exists" button to keep going off while you're trying to manage and get ahead. But how did you think you would get ahead of time? 

You watch all the young people scramble in their own unique bubble on the timeline and not sure how they manage as you're all treading/floating/drowning in some way or another. 

All the people who have power will not stop having power. On Instagram some years back I observed a man's comment to Greta Thunberg about her anger and despair pleading to the powers to take it seriously the climate crisis. He said he appreciated her fight but it was older than her, things already set in motion before she was even born that she cannot prevent it coming to pass. That she needn’t feel immense pressure and guilt to solve and save it all. He himself was older from what I could tell in his profile picture, so he will not be here for the world that she will have to grow old in. 

The rest of us (mostly) has rescinded to grow old in accepting that it can't really be different, no one cares, and you can never change people. The powers that be do not want a better world and they gladly will destroy the planet to prove that point because they are doing that currently and the all centuries prior. And the voters won't even give it a second thought pulling the lever. Not their problem. Their fate is on some other mythical timeline not tied to together with everyone else's. Young people don't even poll high caring about this issue anymore when it comes to elections. They have given up seeing the psychopaths who have the iron fist of rule who will not change a damn fucking thing.

The disconnect not even unique to Americans. Brazil is on the verge of electing a man who will bulldoze the rainforest even when they thought that was in the past that possibility after they threw out and punished his father. But these evil leader types are zombies ready to come back again and again. Indonesia is destroying its rainforests. Their government is killing off the wildlife. The same wildlife who don't understand why the world they grew up in no longer exists. 

 

 

What is America outside of being an empire of mass terror and violence, home and abroad? It's the country that had the Floyd protests and a few months later people stormed the capital because the antichrist was not crowned president. Four years later within months of the student encampments against the genocide of Palestinians was also when the same antichrist won the election. Just a place of impossible tensions and contradictions, but I don't think defining it only as a place of colonial and imperialist evil and darkness is the way to summarize it all. I don't think it even motivates people who want to help turn it around. There is something hopeless and demoralizing summarizing America as a one single truth and even dishonest. And we still have to get up the morning for those who can't leave. I'm not a person who is interested in having a relationship and defending a nation state with nuclear weapons or giving all my love to it. It would be nice to feel that something could still be turned around, even his first term it felt maybe it can change. But time goes forward either way.

You fucking dummies can't find the obvious tie that reproductive rights, freedom and justice is working class consciousness then that's your own limited and dishonest political lens, and not cause Gloria Steinheim was a CIA asset. 

(*smug bullshit from some leftist men on social media acting like abortion is some special boutique issue that stopped a working class uprising cause it was supported by a complex and complicit legacy of a mainstream feminist)

Slap that 'WoKE 1 WaS CrAZy lol 🤪' shit out of your fucking mouth. What's wrong with you? Everyone is such a coward and/or a mark. Do you fucking people not see what's going on? Bending the knee to the right and dismissing all that made you come up...At least Mamdani had his ego and political radar in check to not repeat such a stupid dishonest cop out. The far right (and those who hate "woKeNESS" that participated in the pile on) just did a witch hunt-digital lynching that caused a black academic Jason Arday to end his life. Enough.

They say 'kill the cop in your head' 

reanimate the body like a zombie 

Pull the vessel into something more meaningful and less lonely 

No one can know enough to discern the first crack

sleep walk backward 

don't laugh 

This gun is barbed

spiked 

everyone is implicated 

history in syndication

They say 'scratch a liberal bleed a fascist' 

but dig into the heart and scrap the bone of any human deep enough and you'll find a nazi vulnerable and hungry 

Abort the volume and rotate the dial 

Turn around

come back

 

 

 

Being disrupted with AI content creation courses and packaging and watching the video ad break the social contract of humanity and art makes me feel incredibly militant and full of rage. Yet I guess the Data Center backlash is the winning coalition issue of our time. Even people who are in red and rural areas realize they are not safe of the privatization and convergence of the elites-government-corporations closing in. While a lot live off the land and grid they see plain as day they are not safe from surveillance, detention, and the land grabs that will destroy further our home on this spinning sphere.

Oh it's worse than I thought....bragging that people on the left would vote for Tucker Carlson over AOC and you think that doesn't reveal how the left in America when it comes to organizing and messaging in the last ten years has collapsed? Scary man, fuck off with that. Carlson is one of the most obvious Trojan horses yet people can't resist a good soundbite and refuse to engage with substance. This actually circles back to one of the top reasons I voted in 2024. I did not want to put my trust into the hands of people who truly believed they could out organize everything going on and the things coming our way if he got in. Though I do acknowledge I didn't put my trust either in the scenario if Harris was elected. I wasn't even confident she would make it more than one term. That things were coming down the pipeline anyway but at least you could have had more time, stalled, be better prepared, and at least stop some of it? I don't know I guess that's not considered good strategy. Cooked with the meat falling off the bone.

Charlottesville, the anti vaxxers, the capital on the sixth, they won Mister. Rogers they did.

Not really sure what to think about people believing Majorie Greene is an honest and ethical actor in all this and better than AOC, well actually I do it's pathetic and desperate. It's frightening the things I'm seeing and how people can be easily manipulated. Crazy. I criticized the not voting but I mean I don't get what is happening to people's' critical thinking skills, you see them corroding in real time. Yes the CIA set up an undercover candidate to advocate for healthcare as a human right, makes total sense 🫠

Interesting the emphasis of protesters gathering peacefully never includes the police needing to act accordingly with good behavior and being peaceful themselves 🧐

A smash and grab and collapse and have Christian Nationalism fill the hole borderless crime syndicate government

Women’s intuition as a right wing pipeline

On this International Women’s Day I’m actually interested in the topic of violence against women perpetuated and committed by other women. Examples such as imperialism, transphobia, racism, xenophobia, reproductive rights, economics, disability, etc. I think looking at the framework of violence against women merely as something men do and are solely responsible for leaves too much out. I'm interested why so many women do not want liberation for other women. I think ever since the fall of Roe and how that DID NOT motivate women or organize them that the thought was sparked. Also it is coupled with the witch hunt trial of Amber Heard and all the #Metoo feminists silence of that time from progressive women and celebrities. I don't think this topic is one for popular inquiry because it does not abide by political party lines. Like for example in 2020 Biden was the primary pick among Dem women voters despite all that...and Anita Hill. Also it has to be taken into account the violence women have committed against children, which a lot of women would be in denial or defensive over. I hope someone does some work in this area or is.

People who tell you to not care about things such as politics will feed you to the wolves if those wolves came knocking on their door.
