The president fails to realize how deeply Somali Americans love this country.

We are doctors, teachers, and elected leaders working to make our country better.

We will not let Trump intimidate or debilitate us. My op-ed:

I don't think they can say that which is why they don't. Some of them don't have a problem with what he is saying. The entire caucus should have been up in arms on their COLLEAGUE Ilhan Omar's behalf. They haven't been.
Every Democrat going on air should take the first question and then say something like “Before I answer that I need to express my outrage and disgust at the president’s bigoted and vulgar insults about the Somali people. There is something seriously wrong with him. He is a sick man.”

She shouldn't have to keep doing this by herself. She is supposedly a member of a political party and every single one of her *colleagues* should be BLASTING the fascist in chief. ALL OF THEM. Where is the solidarity???

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

There are more people organizing and pushing back against the regime today than there were in the first term. There are more people in more places (rural towns and big cities across the country). I think it's really strange how resistant some people are to these facts. I wonder what's going on.

I really can't stress how important it is for progressive and leftists to contend for school, library, water, etc etc boards. Hyper local involvement in our communities where we can actually influence lives.

A consistent boycott works. We have Black shoppers to thank for this. Ultimately this will have a bigger effect than yelling about general strikes online. Stop giving awful people your money. Resist the temptation of Black Friday, Cyber Monday, etc. Buy local. They'll starve if you don't feed them.

$2000 won’t buy you healthcare in the US.

$2000 won’t give you “negotiating power” with insurance companies.

A one time payment is not a healthcare plan.

It’s time for Medicare for all.

WE WON. I am *begging* you to take note of who did this. *Not* UCLA admin—they’re still scuttling around behind closed doors, attempting to appease—but FACULTY AND STAFF, led by AAUP.
BREAKING: In AAUP et al v. Trump (wall-to-wall union lawsuit challenging the administration’s unlawful use of TItle VI to reshape the University of California system), the faculty and staff of the UC system WON!!!

The older I get, the more I realize that modern society functions essentially as a giant pyramid scheme of people mutually blackmailing each other into enabling and covering up the worst of human abuses, from genocide to child trafficking.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Extremists depend on your outrage to spread their memes far and wide. Whether it's Musk or Musk's chatbot, the same lesson applies.

Stop posting grok conversation screenshots unless you have the depth and you plan to take time to place it in a context beyond "omg look what the nazi chatbot said"
Let's talk about how to report on right-wingers without amplifying their hateful rhetoric. Far-right extremists count on YOU to spread their messages for them. Here's a thread of resources.

There is such a clear line from hunger to rioting all throughout history that it must be deliberate. They want an excuse for military occupation and if we won’t provide one, they will create one.
They want people to go hungry. Because hungry people will revolt. And if hungry people revolt, then they can vilify the hungry for revolting and claim that the hungry never deserved food at all.
