Grace against the MachineThis is screen-printed in Rotterdam at the Mesh Print Club! The print is untitled as of now because it is part of a series on the eight heroine archetypes according to the Natya Shastra, the Sanskrit text on drama and performance. The design is a <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/screenprint?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#screenprint</a> made with a single layer.<br>

Ms. Que Banh<p>For 22,000 <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Vietnamese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vietnamese</span></a> & some <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Cambodians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cambodians</span></a>, <a href="https://beige.party/tags/C%C3%B4nS%C6%A1n" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CônSơn</span></a> Island was literally the last stop on a journey that began with their arrest & incarceration on the mainland. Their crime? Resisting <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ForeignInvaders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForeignInvaders</span></a> du jour & fighting for their country’s independence & unification. In addition to execution, causes of death included disease & torture.</p><p>The French built the Côn Đảo prison complex in 1861 to hold <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PoliticalPrisoners" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliticalPrisoners</span></a> and handed it over to the South Vietnamese government in 1954. It was a political Alcatraz on steroids, with <a href="https://beige.party/tags/inhumane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>inhumane</span></a> living conditions, barbaric torture methods, no escape and, for many, no survival. The US & its client state collaborators honed this hell on Earth to <a href="https://beige.party/tags/dystopian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dystopian</span></a> perfection.</p><p>Sáu was sent to 3 jails before being shipped to Côn Sơn Prison, because the French didn’t have the courage to carry out her death sentence on the mainland at a time when it was against <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ColonialLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColonialLaw</span></a> to execute woman. She was the only female prisoner held by the French on Côn Sơn. </p><p>Like other Vietnamese who died for the cause of independence, Sáu, a national heroine who is celebrated in theater & song, was elevated to the status of ancestral spirit. Every Vietnamese city & town has a street named after her, as are many schools. She embodies the spirit of millions of Vietnamese throughout history, including soldiers of the First & Second Indochina War, who sacrificed everything, their youth, their health, their love, their personal happiness, & their lives, so that Vietnam could become a unified, sovereign nation.</p><p>“The lekima flower in full bloom, we are reminded of a heroine who died for future generations. The young lady so full of vitality fought against our enemies with firm spirit & even death could not force her to yield”. The song echoes in the mind of everybody who visits Hàng Dương cemetary in Côn Đảo district, Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu province. Vo Thi Sau, the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/heroine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>heroine</span></a> mentioned in the song, was <a href="https://beige.party/tags/executed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>executed</span></a> by the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/French" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>French</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/colonialists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colonialists</span></a> at the foot of Chua mountain in the early morning of January 23, 1952. 60 years later, her immortal patriotism & sacrifice still shine in the heart of every Vietnamese person, particularly those who live on <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ConDao" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ConDao</span></a> island, once called “hell on the earth”. (Ref: VOVWorld)</p><p>The 20-hectare Hàng Dương cemetery holds the graves of more than 20,000 martyrs, including <a href="https://beige.party/tags/revolutionary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>revolutionary</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/martyr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>martyr</span></a> Lê Hồng Phong, patriot Nguyễn An Ninh & <a href="https://beige.party/tags/hero" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hero</span></a> Cao Văn Ngọc. Visitors are moved to see grave after grave, some named, some unnamed, stretching over the hill. Vo Thi Sau’s grave, set in gravel & soil shoveled by her fellow prisoners, lies in section B.</p><p>Sister Sau was already a legend when the ship carrying her docked at Con Dao island in 1952. At the execution, she refused to be blindfolded, wanting to admire the motherland’s landscape & sing until her last breath. Many families on Con Dao island have set up altars to worship sister Sau, whose legend has become eternal in Vietnamese hearts.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/AsianMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AsianMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Vietnam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vietnam</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VietnameseRevolutionaries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VietnameseRevolutionaries</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ColonialResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColonialResistance</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Communist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Communist</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VietnameseHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VietnameseHistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AsianHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AsianHistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SouthEastAsia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SouthEastAsia</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Viet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Viet</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Geopolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Geopolitics</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/USWarOnVietnam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USWarOnVietnam</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LongLiveVietnam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongLiveVietnam</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VietnameseSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VietnameseSovereignty</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LearnHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LearnHistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/TootSEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TootSEA</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/USfundedTorture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USfundedTorture</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/WomenOfTheResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenOfTheResistance</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/USTerrorism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USTerrorism</span></a></p>
Ms. Que Banh<p>Võ Thị Sáu (1933 – 23 January 1952) was a <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Vietnamese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vietnamese</span></a> schoolgirl who fought as a <a href="https://beige.party/tags/guerrilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>guerrilla</span></a> against the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/FrenchOccupiers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FrenchOccupiers</span></a> of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Vietnam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vietnam</span></a>, then part of French <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Indochina" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Indochina</span></a>. She was captured, tried, convicted & executed by the French <a href="https://beige.party/tags/colonialists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colonialists</span></a> in 1952. She was the first woman to be executed at Côn Sơn Prison. </p><p>Vo Thi Sau was no ordinary schoolgirl. She was just 14 when she tossed a grenade at a group of French soldiers, killing one & injuring 12 before escaping into a crowded market. A few years later, in 1952 aged just 19, she was executed by a French firing squad. </p><p>Minutes before her death, a priest asked if she wanted to confess & she simply replied: “I only regret not finishing destroying all the colonists and people who betrayed this nation.” She then demanded her captors take off her blindfold: “No need to cover my eyes, I want to look at this beloved country for the last time and I have the courage to look directly at your muzzle.” She refused to kneel & calmly sang “Tien Quan Ca,” the then national anthem of North Vietnam, before she was shot dead. Her last words were reportedly “Down with the French Colonialists, long-lasting independence Vietnam, long-live President Ho.” Bold & fearless, Sau has been seen as a <a href="https://beige.party/tags/heroine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>heroine</span></a> & <a href="https://beige.party/tags/martyr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>martyr</span></a>, beloved by her country ever since.</p><p><a href="https://chaohanoi.com/2020/04/21/vietnamese-schoolgirl-revolutionary-fighter/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">chaohanoi.com/2020/04/21/vietn</span><span class="invisible">amese-schoolgirl-revolutionary-fighter/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/AsianMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AsianMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VietnamHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VietnamHistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VietnameseRevolutionaries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VietnameseRevolutionaries</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ColonialResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColonialResistance</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Communist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Communist</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VietnameseHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VietnameseHistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AsianHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AsianHistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SouthEastAsia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SouthEastAsia</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Viet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Viet</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Geopolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Geopolitics</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/USWarOnVietnam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USWarOnVietnam</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LongLiveVietnam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongLiveVietnam</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VietnameseSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VietnameseSovereignty</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LearnHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LearnHistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/TootSEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TootSEA</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/WomenOfTheResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenOfTheResistance</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BadassAsianWomen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BadassAsianWomen</span></a></p>

Chuck Darwin<p>This is not how <a href="https://c.im/tags/Katie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Katie</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Porter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Porter</span></a> hoped to spend her summer.</p><p>The Orange County congresswoman had gone from unknown to <a href="https://c.im/tags/political" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>political</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/celebrity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>celebrity</span></a> virtually overnight, <br />wielding a <a href="https://c.im/tags/whiteboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>whiteboard</span></a> and marking pen to skewer lobbyists, <br />torment chief executives and harry various corporate heavies <br />— to the utter rapture of the online, cable-TV-consuming wing of the Democratic Party.</p><p>She transformed herself from UC <a href="https://c.im/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>law</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/professor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>professor</span></a> into a <a href="https://c.im/tags/fundraising" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fundraising</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/dynamo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>dynamo</span></a>, <br />a <a href="https://c.im/tags/progressive" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>progressive</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/heroine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>heroine</span></a> and <br />oft-discussed <a href="https://c.im/tags/prospect" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>prospect</span></a> for higher office. </p><p>Then it all came crashing down as Porter lost, badly, in a fractious Senate primary to fellow Rep. Adam B. Schiff. </p><p>Now he’s the one cruising to election and potential lifetime tenure in Washington, as Porter confronts the end of her congressional career a few short months from now</p><p>She has, Porter says, no regrets.</p><p>Do I think I underestimated some factors and overestimated some others? -- Sure. </p><p>“But when I look at that campaign, I don’t think there was ... <br />a particular moment or a particular decision that shaped it either way.”</p><p>“Adam and Barbara and I remained very cordial throughout the race,” Porter said. </p><p>“We saw each other every day at work. People forget that. </p><p>We’re sitting in delegation meetings together; <br />we’re on the airplane together. </p><p>We understand that when you run, someone wins and someone loses.”</p><p>Her one hope for Schiff is that he uses the fall campaign <br />(such as it is against his handpicked opponent, the hapless Republican Steve Garvey) <br />to talk about some of the many issues facing California.</p><p>“We need a real <a href="https://c.im/tags/policy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>policy</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/debate" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>debate</span></a> in California,” Porter said. </p><p>“We have a narrative about California being [Gov. Gavin Newsom’s] golden California dreaming, </p><p>but also people who are like, ‘This is a failed state; people are leaving’ <br />— that whole narrative. ... </p><p>This race was a chance to have a real policy debate about our state, <br />and I don’t think that happened.”</p><p>Blame the short attention span of voters. Blame a diminished political press corps. Blame a contest that managed to captivate very few Californians. Blame hairsplitting among generally like-minded Democrats and the lack of any real GOP competition to spur a deep and meaningful discussion.</p><p>Even as Schiff coasts to election, Porter said: <br />“I hope Adam will go back to some of the policies that were really important in the Senate race <br />— whether that was <a href="https://c.im/tags/housing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>housing</span></a>, whether that was the <a href="https://c.im/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>environment</span></a>, <a href="https://c.im/tags/energy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>energy</span></a>, whether that was <a href="https://c.im/tags/taxes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>taxes</span></a> <br />— and try to have some of those conversations and arrive in the Senate really willing to think about </p><p>‘What does California need from Washington?’”</p><p>Congress is a lumbering beast of a place, <br />deeply polarized and highly antagonistic, <br />and Porter said there’s little desire by leaders of either major party to fix that.</p><p>“My colleagues want to talk <br />— and you will hear them talk this fall, whether it’s Congressman Schiff running for the Senate, or a House candidate or Vice President Harris <br />— they want to talk endlessly about the crisis of confidence in the <a href="https://c.im/tags/Supreme" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Supreme</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Court" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Court</span></a>,” Porter said. </p><p>“What about the <a href="https://c.im/tags/crisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>crisis</span></a> of <a href="https://c.im/tags/confidence" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>confidence</span></a> in us, <br />in <a href="https://c.im/tags/Congress" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Congress</span></a>, <br />and who we work for and how effective we are? </p><p>That’s a conversation worth having, too.”</p><p>(There’s a reason Porter was no favorite of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who threw her considerable clout behind Schiff in the Senate primary.)</p><p>For now, Porter is looking forward to returning to the classroom in January <br />— her face lit up at the mention of standing in front of students again <br />— taking up her old position at UC Irvine. </p><p>She’ll teach a first-year law class and courses on commercial law and legislation.</p><p>She hasn’t ruled out a future run for statewide office <br />— Porter could be a formidable candidate for attorney general or governor <br />— but feels no haste to decide. </p><p>(By contrast, she was the first to jump in to the Senate race, even before the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein had stated her intention to step aside.)</p><p>Porter reprimanded the nearly half dozen gubernatorial hopefuls who’ve already launched their campaigns. </p><p>“Between now and election day, in my opinion, nobody should be campaigning for governor,” Porter said. </p><p>Democrats, quite rightly, insist that Donald Trump poses an existential threat to democracy and that the party must do all it can to stop him. </p><p>“If you believe that” <br />— here Porter brandished a fist <br />— “then that’s what we should all be working on right now.” </p><p>Not jockeying in an election still more than two years off.</p><p>At 50, still in the blush of youth by today’s silvered political standards, Porter has plenty of highway ahead of her.</p><p> <a href="https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2024-08-11/katie-porter-political-future-california-senate-orange-county" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">latimes.com/politics/story/202</span><span class="invisible">4-08-11/katie-porter-political-future-california-senate-orange-county</span></a></p>
