I'm on at 4:15 EST with a short selection of sung-through songs from my latest mixtape, it's a lot more stripped back than my usual presentation, and it's a side of me I've not shown before...

We need to make Kat Abughazaleh the first YouTuber President, purely because we need to do whatever we can to prevent Mr. Beast getting there first, which was what the Book of Revelation was talking about, probably.

I've seen lots of hysterical "barbarian ransacking"-style Islamophobia about Zohran Mamdani from the pundit gutter, but I'm shocked I've not seen anyone post something like "electing a Muslim to lead New York is a slap in the face to everyone who died on 9/11". Or, at least, I haven't found it yet.

this is an embarrassing thing for this guy to say in public but also touches on something that constantly rankles me, which is the vague idea of "feeling unsafe" as a problem that someone else needs to solve for you regardless of whether you are actually unsafe or not

Had this meme made in fucking May because I knew we could fucking do it, I'm so fucking proud of @madycast.com and @thefreeradical.org and @davidforbes.bsky.social and @ket.bsky.social and everyone else who helped make this possible Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The highest possible form of Karen-brain. I'm gonna get you fired from America

If we hit our goal ($50k to go!) by Sunday night, we’ll make merch of me flipping off a transphobe. Do your part here: secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-b...

Hot commie summer? Finally, my time has come

Yknow what? I’ve been sitting on this for a decade because I’m not into punching laterally but I AM FINE with punching far right lunatics. Just a handful of short weeks before GamerGate started, Briana Wu, who I spoke to 0 times before this, sends me this *wild* ass email. 🧵

hitting a button labelled "enact sharia law" and a klaxon sounds and a red light starts flashing

"democrats and republicans must team up against the leftist" is a little bit on the nose

"I am a proud Democrat who fights for people and thinks Republicans are bad and we should stand up to them": actually a very popular message, which should be a lesson both to the reactionary centrist crowd and to other leftists hoping for similar success

I knew people would be mad if Zohran won but I honestly could not have predicted this level of crashing out

This kind of shit is, in its own way, Holocaust trivialization. It's hard not to find it morally revolting.

one of the things that's so invigorating about Mamdani's win is how upset the right seems to be. it shouldn't matter to them what flavor of Democrat runs New York City, but they're unnerved because they know that his style of progressive populism has broad appeal.

Status Cuomo is no' mo'. The lame-os are finito, billionaire dono quid pro quo is a fail-o, that's our new M.O., and Zohran was his name-o.

Step one of making a better future is enabling people to see glimpses at it through the fog of despair that permeates everything right now. Every time we can picture a good world, it gets closer to being within reach

The centrist sleeper cells are activating at every Panera in Manhattan

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

Greatest city in the world in the greatest country on Earth. 🇺🇸

Just this once, scrolling my feed is making me happy for the future. A leftist won an election. The one thing the entire system is built to stop, and it still happened. There's a million ways this can go wrong, but for now? The worst people in the media are shitting and pissing, and that is good.

Cry more, fash freaks

it is genuinely incredible that zohran's campaign completely annihilated the democratic commentariat and party cadre mainstreaming of the idea that you need to concede palestine and trans rights to the zionists and republicans to 'gather votes'. lmfaoooo

"Andrew Cuomo is visibly upset and people are crying"

'She said initially her CV was not written in a way that could be read by a resume screening programme called ATS (applicant tracking system), where AI reads CVs.' Talking to finalists, the use of AI to screen was a huge frustration for them. Talking to employers, use of AI by applicants was ditto.

This is BS. I ran for office in a red state and won with 80% of the vote. I regularly talk about my identity when I knock doors. The key is to do so a way that connects to other issues (e.g. being trans shapes how I think about ALL healthcare access, threats to education, etc.). It's that simple.

The most important part of republican fascism is the demand you must be nice to them.

I have just bought a domain to use as a handle. It's so fucked.

the reaction to Mamdani's campaign is clear proof that centrism is a reactionary ideology, and has nothing to do with a pragmatic desire to win.

I knew it would be Zaslav. These hedge-fund charlatans, these murderers of truth and joy, must be excised from polite society before they turn the whole world to a stock-ticker.

💯

bookmarking this because its going to be such an insane slam dunk setup for the inevitable "why doesnt my child talk to me anymore" post in 5 years or so

I love Spoink so much. I love this stupid little asshole.

this is the most one-sided two-option poll i can remember seeing. you could probably get 10 percent of americans to respond that installing your air conditioner backwards so that cold air blows outside will fix the environment

Notice the sexually-charged language that makes anything trans people do, no matter how innocuous, obscene simply by nature of it being done by a trans person. Reactionaries project their psychosexual hang-ups onto trans people and call us perverse for their blatant, open sexual harassment of us.

A thing people don't remember about 2003 is that "they have WMDs" was the pitch to *high-info* voters. The pitch to low-info voters was "the dastardly muslims attacked us on 9/11 and we have to hit them back by deposing the muslim king saddam hussein who attacked us"

Please can the United States collapse and balkanise on July 3rd. I'll cum harder than any cummer has cummed before or since.

Don't rank the rapist. The writing's on the wall, bold, red, underlined, arrows pointing to it, lit with spotlights. You only have yourself to blame if you rubishly fall for "oh a name i saw once" again.
