REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Speeding up the timelines of housing and transportation projects is crucial to defeating the politics of segregation because you need your new constituency to come online and get to the voting booth as soon as possible.
A new law makes it easier to build homes near buses. Guess what housing opponents are doing now
After Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law to allow mid-rise apartment buildings near major transit stops, opponents of new housing have a new reason to battle the bus.

Primary elections are important because you get to learn what different parts of your coalition bring to the party. For instance, we are learning right now that there is a part of our coalition who wants a man with a Waffen SS tattoo to represent the Democratic Party as a US Senator.

"Cities should remain museum pieces for incumbents and any newcomer is strictly a burden" is the most loser mindset that powers the most loser politics in America today.

We need to reimagine America as a nation that has new Founders every generation.
I hope someday we defeat fascism and in the far future, No Kings Day is celebrated as a federal holiday, and little children leave out dance mixtapes and cookies for the Resistance Frog, who leaves pocket Constitutions in their shoes.

Conflict between the climate and labor movements has weakened what otherwise could be a potent force against the fossil fuel industry. A new report from @uawregion6.bsky.social lays out a green industrial proposal to bridge that divide

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.
