Those in power want to paint our only way forward as a choice between a Trump dictatorship + a neoliberal hellscape; two competing versions of authoritarianism. Like the people taking the streets in Los Angeles, we must choose a third option: fighting our way out. itsgoingdown.org/dont-let-la-...

It's a truly jarring split screen that Kristi Noem's goons attacking Sen Padilla happened at almost the exact same time as 16 Dem senators crossed lines to vote with the GOP to invoke cloture on the crypto bill, forfeiting any leverage. Dems need to act like an opposition.

โ€œThose who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat itโ€. Calling in the National Guard rarely is a good idea. The tragic story of Kent State told by a boy with a gun.

#ProudBlue The House has taken back over $9.1 billion for public media outlets and foreign aid programs addressing global public health, international disaster assistance, and hunger relief. Tell me again how this administration is for families and health (MAHA?)? www.npr.org/2025/06/12/g...

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth refuses to say that he will abide by a ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court:

Meet Senator Padillaโฌ‡๏ธ

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.

Trump's military moves - the political Fort Bragg speech, L.A. troop call-up, tanks in D.C. for a Kremlin-style parade - aren't 'a distraction' It's the essence of his regime, and he's pulling a slow-motion coup to crush all dissent and take control My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/coup...

Bill Clinton is a brave guy in America right now. At a naturalisation ceremony for 38 new citizens he defended immigration as Americaโ€™s greatest strength. โ€œI don't think we need fewer immigrants. I think we need more." How many would say that?

My Senator being tackled and detained by Trump's gestapo. Full fascism. Full stop.

Came to memorialize this 49-yo firefighter and note that his local newspaper correctly states that that firefighters have a 14% increase in cancer deaths above the general populationโ€ฆ.a research finding of a federal agency whose budget was just slashed by 80%. www.keenesentinel.com/news/local/k...

Excuse me, but California has a duly elected Governor and Los Angeles has a duly elected Mayor. I don't believe the State of California voted for an authoritarian regime.

It ishappening here. Stop it now.

Hands off our communities.

Same here. Men who sleep in their clothes, paid by the head.

Efficient resistance means pushing back against fascism & pressuring it both on the streets as in the court rooms. Scenes from Tucson Arizona where protestors cornered Trump regime ICE troops, sprayed them in self-defence. Protestors kettled ICE & used their own riot control methods. #3E #StopICE

On July 4th it will be interesting to see who in the Ottawa insider class decide to go to the MAGA embassy to indulge in the white wine, shrimp canapes and garden party talk. Even as they threaten our jobs and nation. Not to worry, ordinary Canadians will hold the line.

The party that called the January 6th such on the Capitol "legitimate political discourse" doesn't get to tell ANY group of people that they shouldn't fly a flag honoring their heritage. Never forget what they defended.

It took me a while, but I can now see a purpose in speaking to the discussion of my departure from Yale for the University of Toronto.
