This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.

Too many people are trying to differentiate between ICE and police.

I will hold your hand as I say this:

Police in the US treat marginalized people the way ICE treats everyone. They're far more similar than you want to admit.

Defunding the police and abolishing ICE are the same fight.

Trump admits to taking more aspirin than his docs recommend: “They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart. I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?”

I wrote a short essay on the pilot episode of TWIN PEAKS. It's a perfect episode of television. Almost everything that you need to understand about the series is shown in the first half hour.

The problem right now is billionaires. It's insane to have that kind of inequality, we didn't evolve for it. We evolved for smallish tight knit bands with some leadership. We're not ants or termites. The least we could do is tax the rich out of existence, hopefully before society falls apart.
