If we really want to make this stop, we can. We need to shut everything down and protest every day until it happens.

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

Second released flotilla activist confirms Israel beat Greta Thunberg

The rogue Zionist state's violence and humiliation of an activist like Greta Thunberg, known worldwide, can only backfire on it

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Thank you @warnock.senate.gov for these very important posts about the higher cost of healthcare from the Republican Big Ugly Bill

These cruel Medicaid cuts are all part of Trump's Shutdown
