Over half of the corporations bankrolling Trump’s vanity ballroom are facing (or recently faced) federal investigations into wrongdoing — including violating workers’ rights or misleading consumers.

They also have a combined $279 BILLION in federal contracts.

Follow the money.

Mamdani winning is a serious problem for "centrist" (right wing) Dems who want proof that pivoting away from supporting trans people is essential to Dem victory.

Mamdani has done the opposite--sprint towards trans protections, and he is winning back the young voters that Dems lost last year.

Becoming disabled for years is a painful and freeing journey of confronting internalized ableism. There's so many layers to it; it's necessary to do our healing work and recognize devaluation of disabled people is a deeply manipulative tactic of class warfare.

Gutting funding for public media will cut off news sources for millions of Americans.

That’s exactly what Trump wants: to exert even more control over the news and information that the public receives – or doesn’t even receive at all.

It’s a hallmark of dictatorship.

Trump told reporters at the White House that the protesters in Los Angeles “are insurrectionists.” That’s false. January 6 was an insurrection, this is a protest. But by using that language, he may be laying the groundwork to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act.

(This was a core finding of the Kerner Commission report almost 57 years ago -- that almost all incidences of urban unrest were triggered by police actions)
the idea of fingerwagging your way into protest discipline is deeply delusional for a number of reasons, chief among which is that the cops' decisions are among the biggest determinants of how protests ago. it's like being perplexed at people for using umbrellas while ignoring the weather

Mr. Rogers said "look for the helpers," but his advice was for CHILDREN.

If your ass is grown your role is to BE the helper.

I wish I could find the person who said this originally, but it's been too long.

Unsolicited advice: pick one or two issues and whole-ass your support or advocacy and activism. Obviously remain open to show up for other folks’ organizing if it falls outside of your focus, but it’s gonna get tempting to stand for everything, which is a recipe for burnout and disappointment.

the nazi salute thing is gonna be like israel bombing hospitals: it's really, really obvious that it happened, and at first they're gonna be like "no way! that didn't happen!" and then they'll keep doing it and stop pretending like they don't do it on purpose.

I think some folks believe if they get louder and more granular about their politics and critiques, it’ll exonerate them for never having organized, contributed to their communities, volunteered, or struck any actual fear into the hearts of the literal villains we are collectively up against.
