🔥 MUST-WATCH: “Hearing Trump is waging war against antisemites is like hearing Billy Joel is waging war against dads from Long Island.”

John Oliver shows Vance & Trump are using antisemitism as a cover to impose right-wing extremism on colleges.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

DYK there's an election next month?
Tues., Aug. 26, is the Knoxville City Council primary election.

Local elections shape our neighborhoods from sidewalks, parks and street maintenance to school-zone safety and housing.

Make your voice heard!

Are you better off than you were 6 months ago? Tonight, Burchett will tell working people not to look behind the curtain while our schools are losing positions, our children are losing food programs, and people in his district will lose healthcare coverage no matter what spin he puts on it.
Can someone tell Burchett calls with pre-screened Q’s where you don’t actually have to face constituents don’t count as “town halls”, and only serve to highlight their cowardice? 🐔

(@marshablackburn loves to do these also— no real town halls since 2017)

Democrats are backing small biz, job training & infrastructure to grow real, stable jobs. The GOP? Still clinging to trickle-down promises that never pay off.

Time to build a middle class that includes us.

Knoxville just lost $42 million in infrastructure grants for East Knoxville. Funding that would have gone to sidewalks, safe streets, and neighborhood improvements.

And yes, Tim Burchett, Marsha Blackburn, and Bill Hagerty all voted for it.

Elections matter.

Way to show up this weekend, Knoxville!

Local news estimates that 7,500+ came out to exercise their 1st amendment rights.

Speaking out is powerful.

You can’t call it a town hall if the public and press aren’t allowed in. Knox County’s Republican legislators are hiding from voters — and dodging accountability.

Meanwhile, @votegloriaj.bsky.social and Rep. Sam McKenzie continue to step up. Details on the town hall TBA in the coming weeks.

Do you know why Americans are angry?

Over the last 50 years, real weekly wages have been stagnant. 

At the same time, there was a $79 trillion transfer of wealth from the bottom 90% to the to the top 1%.

We need an economy that works for all, not just billionaires.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

AOC calls it a “slap in the face”, says Senate Dems who vote for the CR are “codifying the chaos” and “empowering” Musk and the GOP and the “robbing of our federal government to finance tax cuts for billionaires”

I thought this whole "wasteful spending" thing was a red herring to distract from our tanking economy but then I discovered that the US government is on pace to drop a billion dollars on golf over the next four years.

I only hope Elon Musk can track down and fire whoever is squandering this money.
