Tip for Democratic thinktanks/pollsters: I want to support you! Very much so! All you have to do is abolish ICE, support trans people, speak out about genocide, institute free universal healthcare & UBI, make Election Day a fed holiday, forgive student debt, defund police, & fund public schools.

I am realizing that people think it was the speeches and not the court cases, political campaigns, votes, and riots that won rights and buddy I don't know where we go from here.

Every right in America was bought in blood. Every regulation was written in blood. Everything about American history is what? Bloody.

Trump's order with regard to the National Guard is not limited to California. Our move needs to be to make it impossible for them to focus on any one area. They do not have the manpower to fascist all of us.

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen. This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple European citizens on board. Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

We need multiple forms of protest, multiple avenues of resistance, many ways to be pushing against these horrors at once. There are going to start to be more protests, and that’s good, but we need strikes, slowdowns, document leaks, boycotts. We need loud public voices and refusals to comply.

A friend asked me what the deal was with the Trump administration and Haiti and I said that racists have never forgiven Haiti for the temerity of freeing itself and illustrating that their supremacy was a lie, and everything since then has been about "proving" it can't govern itself.

This is important meta analysis. We’re experiencing a national news story with Constitutional crisis implications, but most of LA wouldn’t know it without press. The population of Los Angeles County is larger than 42 states. This place is ginormous.

Regular liberal people must come to understand that there is no way you can appease Nazis and especially that there is no way that you can shrink yourself so they won't hurt you. Their main goal is to hurt you.

Someone doesn't have to be monstrous to be capable of harm, to have done repeated harm, to be dangerous to vulnerable people. People can be kind to their children, and polite to you, and also function as vectors of harm. That's why we must focus on those who have been harmed, and those at risk.

It continues to make me sad that Ro Khanna used VC and tech money to push Mike Honda out of Congress. Honda was a childhood Japanese internee who became a high school teacher, congressman, and staunch ally of labor and LGBTQ ppl. Khanna is … wooing a white supremacist anti-trans bigot for his money.

I had no idea this was happening for a long time--my editors at Berkley were lobbying behind the scenes, because they're amazing--but JUST LOOK AT THIS. My cover for ZOMROMCOM actually GLOWS IN THE FREAKING DARK! 💚

Yunseo Chung, the Columbia student and green-card holder who has been in hiding since ICE tried to disappear her in March, wins sweeping order preventing her arrest and detention. She becomes the first of these pro-Palestinian advocates to circumvent the Trump administration policy to deport them.
