An easy voter guide for Maryland’s sixth district Democratic Primary:

💬@dubonicplague· May 4

I would try to join the House Financial Services Committee. I worked on a piece of legislation with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s office about billionaire family offices. People talk a lot about private equity and how it controls the economy. But there’s this giant invisible whale of money that’s even bigger—family offices. It sounds very cute, but it’s basically Elon Musk’s and Jeff Bezos' personal investment fund. The Democrats made a decision in 2010, when they passed Wall Street reform, to add a little oversight to hedge funds and private equity funds, but they decided not to do that for all family offices.

But aside from that kind of minutia, I just know what it’s like to be targeted by the Trump administration. I was the chair of the LGBTQ affinity group at the CFPB. I’m queer. I have kids. This is all very real for me. What I’ve seen from Democrats for a while is things like, “We can throw trans people under the bus, because maybe that will help elections, and we’re better than the alternative.” My assessment has always been that that makes you look weak. If you’re willing to abandon people in your coalition, it doesn't make you look savvy. It makes you look cowardly and weak.

I’ve worked on Wall Street. I’ve worked in the government. I’ve worked at a nonprofit trying to pass tougher rules on banks and Big Tech. I joke that I’ve cased the joint, and now I’m ready for the heist—except it’s not a heist, because it’s our money. They stole it first. I want to redirect funding away from the billionaires and toward everybody else, so that life is a little bit easier for us.

For the federal workforce at large, we've got to better enshrine the right to unionize. If the Democrats retake the House, they need to work with the rank-and-file workers and the unions, not just the political appointees and agency leadership. Part of that is about passing things like the Protect America’s Workforce Act, which did pass the House. I’ve just seen in the last year the power of people coming together in a union, even if they haven’t formed the union yet. That’s one of the most important things Congress needs to do to restore the government—make sure the workers themselves have a say at the table.

@alexisgoldstein.bsky.social is running for Congress and how fucking cool would it be if we got her in there? Check out this interview in @wired.com and then tell me we don’t need more of that in our government. Donate, Repost, Volunteer, Whatever. Let’s get her elected. (More info on next post)

The whole experience of 2025 really made me think I could do a better job of fighting for people—not just federal workers, but everyone—than at least my member of Congress is doing. I just didn’t see enough fight in many elected officials. There’s all these people running toward danger—some very overtly, some very quietly through whisper networks, food drives, fundraisers for families that have had someone snatched by ICE. I was frustrated by the disconnect between the courage I see all around me and what I see in elected officials.

I also think there’s a lot of, “We just have to get rid of Trump and things will go back to normal.” I don’t think that’s enough. We need to ask what the conditions are that led to Trump in the first place and how we treat those root causes. It’s not just about flipping the House.

Post someone who looks good in a dress

Lady Gaga atop her spectacular twenty-two and a half foot gown that she wears to open Mayhem Ball. It is red and enormous with a crinoline cage that not only structures the silhouette, but houses her dancers. A quote from https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2025/nov/29/an-engineering-feat-the-26-year-old-australian-making-costumes-for-lady-gaga in next image.

From Guardian article:

It’s Lady Gaga, so theatrics are par for the course. As the lights go up it becomes clear she’s not standing on a giant stage but, in fact, wearing it.

A militaristic bodice extends into the swooping velvet drapes of a 7.5-metre-high gown. “It’s not just a dress; it’s a moving piece of art, an engineering feat,” says the Australian-Taiwanese designer Samuel Lewis, who dreamed up its design, and created it in collaboration with the LA-based costume designer Athena Lawton.

The extent of the costume only becomes apparent when Gaga’s skirt opens to reveal a metal cage underneath, with dancers writhing and reaching behind its steel bars. Lewis had to push his limits to dream of – and achieve – this design. “We had to be like, how giant can something like this be?”

I feel like I saw a celebrity. I have never seen one of these irl before and I am star struck over litter.

I finished The Lamb by Lucy Rose today and it’s one of my favorite things I ever ever ever read.

The cover of The Lamb by Lucy Rose. It’s black with red writing and shows a slab of well-marbled meat with wild strawberries, blackberries, rosemary, and hemlock flowers. Beneath this arrangement are three human molars, and while the meat and the teeth are pristine, all the vegetation is spattered with blood.
