I really really needed to see that people hadn't given up and accepted this shit as inevitable, or (even worse) embraced it. And today showed us that beautifully. No one wanted in on his tank show, but people WERE HUNGRY to tell him to go fuck himself.

For nearly a decade, since Election Day 2016, the media and politicians have had a choice: Recognize that we were in a crisis like no other in our lifetimes, or pretend that we aren't. Nearly all politicians, and too many in the media, have chosen the latter.

If there are local ways for people to plug into mutual aid and other organizing, it's always a good time to uplift those opportunities. Post about them. If you are running such projects, invite others to join in. Most will not but a handful will and that's great.

We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

In Victorian 4ngland people ate all natural food, no pesticides, hormones, or plastic. They got plenty of exercise, and their immune systems got exposed to all sorts of interesting germs. Life expectancy was about 33. Goodness, this is all so stupid. We f'd around, now for the finding out.

If you have a copy of Let This Radicalize You, pls note that there is an appendix in the back that talks about what to do if the police or any agent of the state shows up at your door. A trusted movement attorney wrote this section. Nothing will keep us 100% safe, but pls be aware of best practices.

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

I don’t say this with any disrespect for permitted events, but it’s clear some people don’t understand the difference in what to expect between a permitted event and an unauthorized march, action, or assembly.

The news about this morning's shootings in Minnesota has me on edge about right-wing violence. Whether you are protesting or just a lefty going about your lefty business (mutual aid, organizing, etc), be alert, know who you're dealing with, and know how you would exit any place that feels unsafe.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Tip I learned years ago from a longtime organizer who is also an attorney: If you are not sure if a person approaching you is a cop, and you do not feel safe, drive to the nearest fire department and call 911 and tell them (don't ask) that you're stopping for the cop at a FD. Here's why.

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

Yes, he's polling poorly, but he still has the power to do what he wants. If we want to stop him, we must build the power to do that. Sadly, we cannot disapprove our way out of fascism.

Remember that authoritarians are always trying to create crises or take advantage of existing crises as a "state of exception," which gives them more power and abrogates any established restraints.

The head of the department of homeland security announced that she planned to use military force to take over a democratically elected government in the state of California and we are arguing about whether a California Senator properly identified himself at the door.

Get the fuck out of L.A. You do not “liberate” people from their own democratically elected leadership. You do not remove their senator in handcuffs for opening his mouth. This is a declaration of authoritarian power, and we need to reject it with everything we’ve got.

Part of what it looks like to save ourselves is for folks to take over our library, park, water and other local boards. Get leftists on there who can make decisions that benefit the working class. We can do that because few people actually pay attention to those levers of power.

This should put Noem in handcuffs in California. You're announcing a plan to ignore the choices of voters and override state's rights and intend to illegally detain elected officials to do it.

This is a sad and frightening state of affairs. This administration will stop at nothing to keep elected officials from doing our jobs and demanding accountability for our constituents. We’re seeing it in real time: they don’t want oversight they want total control.

Jeffries should have been out there IMMEDIATELY saying that his entire caucus was filing articles of impeachment against Noem. These people LOVE to issue letters. Think of this as a souped up letter and then BASH HER WITH IT DAILY. Every time you can start a sentence with: "NOEM must be impeached"
