Shuffling music on my computer, a voice memo I recorded with my husband c2012 about our immigration/marriage equality struggles pops up. Now 2gether over 30 years, we've come so far yet they're ready to trample our rights anew. Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, Freedom, Always! @kevinmullin.house.gov

If Trump can lie about tattoos to justify a death camp, he can lie about you. Due process sets us apart from dictatorships—and he's shredding it.

They routinely pretend they have no actual influence but are somehow standing behind a glass partition just quietly observing what happened, so they takes no responsibility for outcome, even as they exhibit huge biases and overt agendas, up to and including major impact on American elections....

Let’s be clear. Stephen Miller is likely “actively looking at” chopping people up with an ax for fun, too, so the real question is: “Why does Stephen Miller want this particular headline right now?”

Hi @axios.com. Please correct your inaccurate reporting that @cbsnews.com broke this story. It did not. I did. Not only did I break it—after months of investigation—but CBS plagiarized it from me, reporting nothing new. Please credit my original work: lastcampaign.substack.com/p/trumps-sur...

No. Americans shouldn't have to toil in brutal factories assembly dolls. But, also, people around the world shouldn't be exploited like this either. We have to change the framing of this stuff. Protecting Neoliberal Globalism to maintain American privilege is just authoritarianism light.

A week ago I got to meander across the T. Tyler Potterfield Bridge in Richmond VA, enjoying people views and wildlife while contemplating the fall of that very city just 160 years ago. It what was at that point the defeat of the confederacy, which appears back and haunting us as bad as ever.

Republicans in the Judiciary Committee just voted to allow Trump to illegally detain and deport US citizens. They won't even stand up for their own US citizen constituents. This is stunning.

Hey you know how people made the Tesla brand radioactively toxic and crashed its entire corporate structure? You can do that with authoritarian brutality and with neoliberal oppression and exploitation. You chase these motherfuckers from society until all that’s left is something real and better.
