This is the way…
Thousands of Democrats are flooding town halls around the country, making their voices heard and demanding their senators and reps to do more, to fight harder against Trump and Musk!

I wrote about Kendrick Lamar Superbowl performance-- its subversive messaging about America being a rigged, deadly game of survival-- especially for Black people.
But we need to stop pretending revolution is going to come from celebrities. It'll come from us.

Opinion | Kendrick Lamar’s performance was as Black and subversive as all get-out
His message at the Super Bowl was a warning and a threat.

Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show was packed with symbolism – Samuel Jackson as “Uncle Sam” sneering, “Too loud, too ghetto, too reckless,” followed by “cultured chicos,” challenging society’s view of Black culture.

As a brazilian (a country also endangered by fascism), my advice for you is: don't let fear stop you for acting against fascism. If fear grows and paralyses you, use the hate inside yourself to keep yourself moving. Don't obbey in advance. Don't let them win without opposition.

Musk might be the face of DOGE, but Thiel’s fingerprints are all over its foundation.
And that’s alarming—Thiel’s belief in tech-driven disruption has long been tied to far-right ideologies, using his wealth & influence to consolidate power, undermining democracy & the systems meant to protect us.

For those wondering why there’s a bear on California flag—it’s a tribute to CA’s strength, defiance, & fearless independence. In 1846, CA rebelled & was briefly its own country. The last of the grizzlies were wiped out by 1920s, but their spirit lives on. Bold, rebellious, & unmistakably Californian
