HAYES: “So what are young Americans who have increasingly soured on Israel’s policy in Gaza supposed to do? Shut up and pretend their government isn’t abetting mass civilian death? I don’t think that’ll happen… this repression & bullying is likely to make the movement stronger.”

NPR: “A record 575 anti-LGBTQ bills filed in states through April...” (TN among the most) It’s not Dems that keep making trans rights the focus of every legislative session. It’s Republicans. To distract from the real issues they won’t address.

It's my weekly #teslatakedown protest. This Saturday I'm in Santa Monica. Smallish but quite high impact protest with good energy and a very high visibility location at the 3rd Street promenade. Also, this couple is awesome.

WATCH: “That’s what this is all about.” On IG LIVE @aoc.bsky.social just called out @CoreCivic and other private prison companies for profiting off these ICE detentions after donating big bucks to Trump (and other Republicans). An all-too-familiar story for us here in Tennessee.
