Big mobilizing actions, like boycotts (one of which is happening today) is where folks who come from marginalized communities, & who have never organized—or even know where to begin, might be where they experience their internal revolution.

“They fight w/fear. We fight with love. When they show up with violence and lies, we respond with dignity & truth. New Mexico must be a model for what justice looks like when we center humanity over fear and courage over comfort.” 👏🏽

Translation app:

Julian Alaphilippe: "I managed to put my shoulder back on, I remembered how they did it in the hospital. I fought, I had good legs. The radio didn't work after the fall. Like an idiot, I sprinted to try to win. Morale is fine." #TDF2025

Love you you, Lou Lou ❤️
Julian Alaphilippe : "J'ai réussi à remettre l'épaule, je me suis souvenu comment ils faisaient à l'hôpital. Je me suis battu, j'avais de bonnes jambes. La radio ne marchait plus après la chute. Comme un con, j'ai fait le sprint pour essayer de gagner. Le moral, ça va." #TDF2025

Reading this, and can't help but think of a certain DA-turned-gubernatorial-hopeful who’s all in on dragging us backwards. We’ve been here before. Locking up kids didn’t work then, and it won’t work now. We need investment, not incarceration.

Why Are We Backsliding on Juvenile Justice?
Over recent decades we’ve moved toward a much more effective and humane system to deal with youth crime. Evidence and research, not hyperbole and hysteria, should be guiding today’s debate.

#NOMOREWARS "Yet, even as party leaders seek to burnish their credentials as the “resistance” to Trump, they’re tacitly, and sometimes openly, giving Trump a green light to lurch America into yet another open-ended war of choice."

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal."

That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.
 
An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?

My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.

My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.

I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
 
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

Even the conservative Dem who has voted for 10 of Trump's cabinet picks is voting against the CR.
Sen. Ruben Gallego tells me his NO on the House funding bill means he will also vote NO to advance it procedurally.

It is not required for any other Senate Dem to vote with Schumer. Stand up for the people. Stand up for the party. Unite against this and lead where he won’t.
