Going through old tweets and my favorite part of this is that this got like 10k likes and a lot of the comments were "I'm from Statesville and that place is a fucking shithole," which anyone driving on I-40 can realize

"But what can Democrats do, they're out of power?"
I get that question a lot.
So I made this guide.
Because members of Congress have a lot of power, even in the minority - especially in the Senate.

Part II of the Winter 2026 Protest Pack has dropped. I asked fellow local artists @gawki and @malivethart to join me and would love for you to join us as well. By supporting this fundraiser we are fighting back against what is happening in Minnesota and around the country.

this stuff has really broken me. it's simply astounding that so many people who have been allowed to amass unimaginable wealth are so droolingly stupid, so unmoored from and in fact hostile to any sense of community or social responsibility, and oh by the way they love to constantly rape children

The amount of observers that have been detained today in the city already that I’ve seen videos of is really spooky.It’s very clear that ice is now just straight up targeting observers in an effort to quash people watching them. It’s also clear that they are absolutely keeping databases of observers

Lots of regular degular, never-done-an-activism folks have been activated in recent months and are working alongside a bunch of seasoned, die-hard, been-tired-for-ten-years-or-more organizers, and you don't know all of those stories bc most people are moving with a bit of discretion in these times.

jeffrey epstein's apparent association with the likes of bobby kotick, steve bannon, and peter thiel – and his fascination with game design as a means of controlling others – paint an unsettling picture
![If you’re not already seeing the pattern, it’s clear that Epstein and his associates saw games as mechanisms for profit, coercion, and control, a throughline that persists in his association with two key figures in Gamergate and the surrounding bedlam: Peter Thiel and Steve Bannon.
Based on available files, Epstein expressed interest in Thiel and his surveillance company, Palantir, as early as 2012, but correspondence between the two began in 2014. Then, in May 2016, Epstein messaged Thiel saying that he "would have gladly share[d] your expenses for the gawker suit" and invited him to dinner with Noam Chomsky, of all people (it is unclear if this dinner ever took place). That suit, of course, led to the collapse of Gawker Media and the sale of its many sites – of which Kotaku, a major Gamergate target (and the former employer of all five members of Aftermath’s core staff), was one. This would send ripples through the worlds of media and journalism for years to come, leading to a press defanged by the threat of legal annihilation.
The next month, shortly after the June 2016 referendum that kicked off Brexit, Epstein emailed Thiel, saying "brexit, just the beginning" and then, in response to Thiel asking what he meant, "return to tribalism. counter to globalization. amazing new alliances. you and I both agreed zero interest rates were too high, and as i said in your office. finding things on their way to collapse, was much easier than finding the next bargain."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreiao37med33tdxi7743wqz627lyzzfpfl2istut75g64cl763k6xea@jpeg)

Palantir needs to be obliterated the same as ICE, and Peter Thiel can face the Truth and Reconciliation committee he’s spent his entire life trying to negate.

it is really funny looking back how establishment dems were doing everything in their power to make sure this guy didn't win because they didn't want people to know that they're not really powerless, they just don't do their jobs and resent you for suggesting they take action on anything ever
