In what is being called a sharp break from tradition, President Trump just publicly celebrated the indictment of former FBI director James Comey.

Please join us for a special session of the Alameda County Progressive Democrats tonight @ 7-8:30 pm. Two leading national experts on "what works" in terms of congressional and state advocacy for Palestine will speak. Relevant even if you don't live in the County. Hassan and Lily are incredible!

Where is the outrage about political violence?

Unfortunately, by watching the violence in other countries, particularly the ongoing suffering of Palestinians in Gaza, we in Western nations have become desensitized to it.

Trump's immigration raids are about economic and social repression. They target vulnerable workers and communities, not the exploitative employers who profit from them.

We're breaking down the lies and charting a path forward rooted in dignity, equity, and truth.

This is like watching the 1996 Bulls take on 20 little league teams at once. The bleakest part to me is that these right-wing influencers signed up thinking they could make themselves look smart, illustrating just how low the bar for "intellectualism" is on the Right
I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.'

Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.
