Imagine asking to be heard and getting hit. Force won’t fix what people are protesting and you can’t ‘protect democracy’ by attacking it. We’re standing shoulder to shoulder with L.A., the Latino/x community, and everyone fighting for real justice and liberation — for everyone.

If & when what happens in LA comes to NY, Adams or Cuomo almost certainly will not stand up to Trump. (Hell, they’d roll out the red carpet.) Hochul miiiiiight, maybe. That’s how we should be thinking about every state & local election - will this person have the courage to stand up for us?

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

even though LA is a sexy news story, neighbors have been protecting neighbors across the country all year and they will continue to. You have a community right outside your door. Care for it.

Please read this from @jenrubin.bsky.social. Every sentence is catharsis. THIS is why the Tapper book feels obscene. Because it has to be squared with the media’s “cover-up” of Trump’s lunacy. And only one of these threatens our democracy. contrarian.substack.com/p/trump-and-...

I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW. No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote. So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.
