Over the weekend, DHS illegally detained #MahmoudKhalil, a Palestinian Columbia student with a student visa and green card. DHS and the fascist Trump administration are disappearing those who organize against state violence. Khalil is a political prisoner and we must fight for his release.

Trump’s declaration that Tesla protesters are domestic terrorists is extremely disturbing and scary. But it also means #TeslaTakedown is working.

If universities don’t start meaningfully defending their students against Donald Trump, they will be complicit in the political persecution of Mahmoud Khalil and the many others being targeted for their dissent.

BREAKING: HUNDREDS of New Yorkers have swarmed and shut down the Tesla dealer in Manhattan. Six have been arrested after occupying the showroom. Protests are erupting across America to reject Musk's billionaire regime. This is how we beat fascism. Mass direct action. #TeslaTakedown

Against all of the contrary evidence, I continue to believe in human beings. Despite our flaws and our fuck ups, I think we can do and be better. I appreciate all of the people who keep my faith going.

The wealth of the world’s billionaires surged 3 times faster in 2024 than the previous year, rising by $2 trillion. The findings come as Trump is inaugurated, whose campaign was backed by the world’s richest man and whose cabinet is full of billionaires.

A reminder for next week: You don’t have to sit and watch the news in horror as Trump takes his first in-office actions. You can do something. Attend trainings. Donate. Organize. There’s so much you can do in your community if you just look for it.

Eek! Just published my second-ever op-ed. My biggest goal for the new year is to write more, and I’m so excited to share this new piece in Common Dreams! In this op-ed, I argue that climate activists need to keep showing up for other movements if we to unite the left and fight fascism.

It feels like the immiseration of the working class has belatedly become a big topic in elite media only because it has now created political problems for elites. This story was ignored for decades by such media because it seemed to have no political/policy ramifications for elites. But now it does.

Private healthcare, like fossil fuels, is a parasitic and massively lethal industry that forces millions into poverty. And, like fossil fuels, there are readily-available, life-saving, systemic alternatives to this industry – but the 1% is standing in the way of real change.

Climate justice means economic justice. Climate justice means housing justice. Climate justice means racial justice. If our movement can unify around these truths, we can win.

We've been tracking global suppression of climate protest for a couple years now -- the tactic of using anti-terror laws to go after environmental orgs is an old one (started by the U.S., which used it to go after ELF back in the day), but it's about to get worse: www.levernews.com/gop-takes-fi...

We simply don't have time for corporate Democrats to take a "measured approach" to "tackling the climate crisis." We need leaders who will act with real urgency, oppose the new administration, nix all new fossil fuel projects, and make polluters pay. Anything less is unacceptable.

The big problem with blaming progressives for the Dem loss is that…they ran a center right campaign. They campaigned with the Cheneys. Guess Trump isn’t the only one who doesn’t let facts get in the way of the story he wants to tell.

Pomona College is using WiFi to track and mass suspend students. Scripps College (my alma mater) shut down a beloved student-run cafe for simply hanging a Palestinian flag. Is the Claremont Colleges’ new admission strategy to become infamous for student repression? Genius 🙃
