Last year, Nike made $23 billion. Its founder is worth $35 billion. But Nike pays just dollars a day to the workers who make its products. Today I met Dinar, who sews 222 labels an hour onto Nike products. She is paid $202 a month. This is corporate greed at its worst.

Corporate criminals shouldn’t be let anywhere near the levers of power in our government. I'm proud to stand with fellow reformers to battle corruption, with bills like my "No Corporate Crooks Act" to #EndCorruptionNow.

THIS IS HOW YOU FIGHT FASCISM AND CORRUPTION. #StrengthInNumbers #ThePowerOfThePeopleIsStrongerThanThePeopleInPower

Maybe #Taco has a plan…🤔🍌

As LBJ said 60 years ago, freedom is not just opening the gates of opportunity. True freedom is ensuring everyone has the ability to walk through them.

"You can still support patients who need that care and advocate for laws that don’t place gestational limits. I don’t think people need to support third-trimester abortion care wholeheartedly. But it would be very helpful if there was a movement that recognized the importance of this care."

For real though, historically, at times when mass media was unreliable, we have relied on personal accounts to tease out the truth of how it all really went down, once the smoke has cleared. Write it. Post it. Screenshot it. Draw it. Whatever it is. It was important to you. Help history remember.

"I think one of the wonderful things about being an American - and quite frankly for me what it means to be a man and what I try to teach my boys - is the whole point of prosperity is such that you can protect people."

"Karoline Leavitt was seen without her cross necklace following the mockery of Daily Show host Jon Stewart. Leavitt appeared for her briefing on Tuesday in a navy blazer, but she had chosen to forego her signature jewelry." She's only 27. Keep the pressure on. She is already cracking.

"Maybe it's time for us to be a little bit meaner. Maybe it's time for us to be a little more fierce."

As one masked agent leaves Elk street office, he's tailed by an activist (also wearing mask) "only way this nazi can get a hard on is to take people from their families and deport them."

San Diego. Minneapolis. The urgency is showing and I’ve never been this confident that the people will win. I’ve never been this proud to be an American. From the bottom-up is how we fix this. We walk in fear but we walk together. Thank you. We have a role to play where we can. We all get to choose.

"All of us might wish at times that we lived in a more tranquil world, but we don't. And if our times are difficult and perplexing, so are they challenging and filled with opportunity." Robert Kennedy, mortally wounded following a victory in the California Democratic presidential primary in 1968

I shouldn't be laughing at the authoritarian US government revoking a university's accreditation but damn Columbia shows you not to roll over and play dead

It's 2025 and Americans still get an average of 15 robocalls each month. Spam calls are not just annoying and predatory, they're preventable. Congress needs to act and hold bad actors accountable.

Are you ready to jump behind the wheel?

the Klan *does* run immigration policy their bullshit ideology *is* Project 2025 open revolt is the *only* option

Men, how do you feel knowing if you and your wife get pregnant and there is an emergency, the hospital has government permission to let her die rather than use life-saving medical procedures? are you equipped to raise the children you already have? pay for a funeral? bury your wife? Is this ok?

1/4 Trump’s Assault on Science & Academia Is a National Crisis The Trump regime slashed federal research funding in a sweeping ideological purge, gutting the NIH, canceling almost 2500 lifesaving projects, and punishing universities. This is sabotage. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

WATCH: “You stand in my church. You promised me.” A Minneapolis pastor confronts the chief of police about helping ICE

New Zealand legislators voted Thursday to enact record suspensions from Parliament for three lawmakers who performed a Māori haka to protest a proposed law.

A Guatemalan man deported to Mexico, whom Trump’s administration was working to bring back after a court order, landed in the United States on Wednesday, his attorneys confirmed.

The only justice in America at this point will come from the American people. You better start rising up. Big time. Civil unrest. Civil disobedience. In Big Beautiful numbers.

WATCH: Terry Vo speaks out against the ICE raids terrorizing Nashville immigrants

Homeland Security tried entering 2 elem schools at the US/Mex border. But Superintendent Alberto Carvelho denied them access, reflecting on his own immigration path. 👏 "Do not underestimate the power of the immigrant child who may very well become an adult who does well & good by 🇺🇸!" ♥️ #OnYourSide

Last week on Young American, Gen Z Activist Elizabeth Foster talked about how she was able to fight book bans in her school, but South Carolina undid all her hard work. LISTEN: sxm.app.link/YoungAmerican

The easy thing to say is that academia generally has a hard time explaining why they do what they do, and why their expertise matters. The hard thing to say is that there are multiple, powerful forces who hate intellectualism and the benefits of a better-informed citizenry. This is a result.

Some news! Resistance Summer School has an official home! I will teach Race, Media, and International Affairs 101 at the iconic Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library in Washington D.C., starting in mid-July. Thank you to everyone for their support! karenattiah.substack.com/p/studying-t...

Stop asking where is the outrage. SCREAM NOW

"This is the playbook. Fascism doesn’t arrive with jackboots; it arrives with media and voter fatigue. As the political theorist Hannah Arendt warned, the very banality and ordinariness of evil is its greatest weapon."

Not knowing about things doesn’t mean they’re not happening.

"...when police officers arrive, they have guns, they have uniforms that can escalate a situation into something violent. And this behavioral crisis response team has reported positive results. They’ve taken over many of those calls - hundreds of those calls - that police officers would take."

Happy Philly Pride! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✨ From the 600-foot pride flag we carried, to the inclusive community, and the Batala Philly drummers #batalaphilly this was one of my favorite Pride March experiences!

This is huge news. Crypto is trying to swipe Michigan's Senate seat the way they swiped Ohio's from Sherrod Brown. Without that seat, there's little hope of taking back the Senate for decades. Dems must be the party that takes on the crypto scam and regulates it into normalcy or we're done.

"The biggest villains, in the Biden years, were the messengers: epidemiologists and activists and documentarians of tragedy battling a brigade of pundits and politicians who wanted us to pass the biscuits, please, and ignore that body under the bridge."

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries vowed to expose the identities of ICE agents. “This is not the Soviet Union... every single one of them will, of course, be identified.” ....no matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes.”

Children should not live in fear of their parents disappearing. Elders should not live in fear of going to the grocery store or their faith house. Standing with our immigrant neighbors always. www.wbur.org/news/2025/06...

Lee: Would say it would be “illegal DEI” for a lesson plan on the Tulsa race massacre? McMahon: I’d have to get back to you Lee: Do you know what the Tulsa race massacre is? McMahon: I’d like to look into it more and get back to you on it.

Just a thought: if the idea of US citizens building iPhones here is so unthinkable, why are we so comfortable with other people doing it?

White men don't "tend to" dominate politics, science, and industry - they actively work to keep it that way. Look how many of them are still openly hostile toward women and POC, and openly manipulating laws and regulations with the express purpose of shutting us out.

"opponents of the Voting Rights Act have promoted a fringe notion that because Section 2 doesn’t say the words “private right of action”... such lawsuits cannot be filed. ...attacking the procedures underlying Voting Rights Act litigation to make it virtually impossible to enforce..."
