I am begging Democratic leadership to recognize that funding and legitimizing your authoritarian opponent’s secret police is a bad idea.
This should not be a difficult concept.

New: I spoke with a Colombian asylum seeker who was the victim of a ‘Kavanaugh stop’ about what it was like to be racially profiled, abducted in front his family and held in ICE detention hours from home for more than a month—despite doing everything “the right way.”
This is Nick’s story.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.
For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

So many politicians barely make any effort because for so long they were able to coast on milquetoast half-serious "promises". This needs to be fixed. From now on I'm only voting for people who shock me with their level of excitement and passion.
The silence from many media-hyped 2028 contenders today is shocking.
If you cannot oppose this regime change war for oil, you don't have the moral clarity or guts to lead our party or nation.

I know the holidays are a really tough time for a lot of us, so I just wanted to say it’s okay if you’re grieving or struggling or not as festive as you might be in another year.
