United CEO Andrew Witty gave an address to the company today (leaked to me), telling employees "we guard against...unnecessary care" and that "There are very few people in the history of the U. S. healthcare industry who had a bigger positive effect on American healthcare than Brian [Thompson]."

No shit murder is bad. The jokes about the United CEO aren’t really about him; they’re about the rapacious healthcare system he personified and which Americans feel deep pain and humiliation about

It’s important that we, as a community, respond quickly to these events before they become entrenched with lasting consequences. It would be helpful to share strategies for communities to fight back. This is a fight that many of us have not fought before.

“…the neo-Nazis told police they had never experienced a response like the one they received in Columbus. They said people pulled guns on them and threw cans and vegetables as they marched... One of the officers noted the men were ‘covered in’ pepper spray.”

Crucial piece by @astra.bsky.social on how MAGA deployed the tactics of basic community organizing to base build, which beats a lot of knocks on doors from strangers and endless texts... www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...
Democrats should stop mocking Trump’s ground game and start learning from it
Cable ads and bussed-in volunteers don’t cut it any more. If the party wants to win, it must engage voters in a collective push for change

The Evolutionary Homes/ Thao element of the FBI investigation keeps coming up with the same facts visible in the public record---City officials politely listened to Duong and Juarez's unrealistic ideas but it never got past that point. www.sfchronicle.com/eastbay/arti...
Oakland released hundreds of documents related to the FBI’s probe. Here’s what they say
Records show a container home venture founded by Sheng Thao campaign backers sought $90 million in city-controlled funding while associates met with the mayor.

Federal Employment over time. It’s around where it has been for decades.
MLK/FDR backed a federal jobs guarantee, where people who want to work get jobs.
Elon/Trump want to fire hundreds of thousands of workers and cut Medicaid/Medicare to offset tax cuts for the rich.

The experience of Empower Oakland really shows how much favorable press coverage from the outset, with no negative reporting, matters. EO never had feet on the ground, had no real organizing or foot soldiers. It was a brand created on the spot in a press release sent to local tv
