If Trump’s team is willing to manhandle, handcuff and abuse Senator Alex Padilla like they did this afternoon, imagine what they will do to you…

Avoid the violence/nonviolence debate. It’s a trap. The only thing that matters is what actions lead to more justice and less harm. Inaction and complicity in the face of brutal oppression is the worst form of violence. Never forget it.

Couldn’t help but notice that neither the Times or Post have a story up about Trump saying he’s not sorry that Joe Biden has cancer. I guess that’s just Trump being Trump ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We were live in Chicago this week for World Review. On tap: the latest on Gaza, the rise of Marco Rubio (and possible fall of Pete Hegseth), and prospects of an Iran nuclear deal. Joining me this week were Karen DeYoung, Carla Robbins, and Nahal Toosi. open.substack.com/pub/ivodaald...

Putting the merits aside, it’s wild how the media treats GOP hatred of the majority of the country as normal. If democratic leaders said “We can all agree Mississippi is a shithole” we would never hear the end of it.

Covid killed more people in the US than all US battle and non-combat related deaths in all of the US wars put together. People want to forget, but we should be memorializing these losses as well.

At a time when too many are capitulating & cowering towards Trump, Harvard continues to lead the resistance with courage & clarity. It’s not that they aren’t scared- they are. It’s not that there aren’t consequences- there are. It what we decide to do when scared that’s defines exactly who we are.

Kudos to the @freep.com for pointing out, right in a headline, that the $7,500 #EV purchase incentive is still available as of this moment, several months into a new administration that promised to kill it off. It may not last. But for now, you can still buy an EV + get the incentive. Ahem.

“FDA Commissioner Marty Makary is sending signals that FDA will likely not authorize a COVID-19 booster vaccine this year for children, and perhaps not for the general population as a whole, saying he “cannot, in good faith” recommend booster vaccination for children.”

250 years ago, the American people made it clear that they weren’t going to be ruled by kings. On June 14, we’re taking to the streets in a nationwide day of defiance to reject authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like.

So what's next after today's May Day mobilizations? On June 14, Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. But real power isn't staged in DC. It rises up everywhere else. That's why we're planning a nationwide day of action to say No Kings. 🧵
