Between Swalwell and Platner, it sure does look like maybe if we'd taken #MeToo -or honestly any survivor-seriously we wouldn't have this problem on our hands

She's a ten, but she cries at videos of Knicks fans celebrating their little guy winning a chip

30 women jailed at the GEO Group-operated Delaney Hall have joined a hunger strike to demand the firing of a guard they say is sexually assaulting detainees: www.nj.com/essex/2026/0...

I don't know what will happen with today's CA governors race, I don't have the certainty of a podcaster. But I do know that I hate the idea of a billionaire as the most progressive choice.

I looked up "Yosemite" and I need you to know that the three most common inquiries were as follows: 1. Where does Taylor Swift stay in Yosemite? 2. How do I get to Yosemite? 3. How do I leave Yosemite?

your regular reminder that the national shoplifting crisis was a manufactured moral panic largely engineered by corporations in order to cover up their own mismanagement — and that wage theft is the largest category of theft in the U.S.

In a deeply divided country, I think it's beautiful that we can can still unite behind our shared hatred of the Oklahoma City Thunder

This is actually the finals content I want and need

THIS IS SO FUCKING SMART and in an ideal world, it just funnels money elsewhere, like the Big 12 www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Young people are watching AI dim their job prospects as costs soar, they are watching data centers eat up their towns, they--already a cohort that is more diverse and gender expansive than those prior--are seeing how inequity becomes even more entrenched with and because of AI

Spanberger says she will respond to the undermining of Virginia's voters with *checks notes* voter information??? My god, the Democratic lack of will is astonishing. www.npr.org/2026/05/08/n...

Just read this quote from @soleilho.com "Entire communities can be terrorized into silence while elected officials watch helplessly from the sidelines, constrained by constitutional structures designed for a government that operates in good faith.”

Did anyone else catch that Bluesky plug in Running Point?

Since 2017, The Associated Press has cataloged at least 147 state lawmakers across 44 states who have been accused of sexual harassment or sexual misconduct. Republicans and Democrats are nearly equally accused and 94% of those accused are men. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

It's indeed possible to beat bad things backed by big money

She would not need to ask me twice

This is one of the most blatant (and honestly bananas) things they're doing. The armed services are overwhelmingly white and middle class. It's a complete waste of time and resources to station anyone outside of a Marine Corps grad.

For a long time, we tried to cultivate leaders. But now, looking around at pods, and foot patrols, and community food banks, I don’t know if we need leaders anymore. I think we need folks to follow. Follow their neighbors. Follow their youth. Follow their hearts to a new version of this place.

Intra union racism is actually how DEI became an effective union avoidance tool. The more unions lean into racism, the more workers they lose. I say this as someone who grew up in a union household and was a UAW member. Get it together, folks.

Identifying harm strengthens our movement. Addressing harm strengthens our movement. Collective safety strengthens our movement. Personal safety strengthens our movement. Process strengthens our movement. Accountability strengthens our movement. Protecting each other strengthens our movement.

Everyone wants to be Benicio del Toro in One Battle After Another, but no one wants to *be* Benicio del Toro in One Battle After Another, you know what I'm saying?

Today more than other days, I need you to know that successfully fighting authoritarianism requires just 3.5% of the population resisting. 9% of Americans are union members 9% of the population is LGBT 7% is AAPI 14% are Black or African American 20 % are Latine Go, gather your people.

Have we considered that the Bridgertons are a family with a fetish? There's a fine line and they're intergenerationally walking it.

Love that, "Is this AI?" is a new burn

Material and cultural change are inextricable. You absolutely cannot demand accountability for the survivors in the Epstein files without doing work to change the culture that enabled their victimization.

Someone said that show wasn't for "everybody." Agreed. It was for people who dine while sitting on plastic chairs. Who take a little coffee with their condensed milk. People who speak with accents and pay in cash. Not "everybody," just every person who's excluded from the idea of America.

Job offer!! I’m helping a PBS series look for a social media manager/content creator for an upcoming promotional campaign. The start date is ASAP, and a project timeline that currently goes to July. This is for a series on American Muslim history, so candidates with cultural familiarity preferred!

May he never eat another good meal

The most consistent organizers I know are not posting vitriol or resentment on social media, they're mobilizing. Folks who have been fighting deportations, doing harm reduction, and abolition are describing this as an "easy" moment, an "opportunity," or "the time." This isn't to say-

I just facilitated a session of folks who wanted to do something, but didn't know who they could organize with. I introduced an incredibly simple concept: you can organize anything with anyone. Your garden group? Meet your new comrades. Book club? Novel accomplices. PTA? Coalition partners.

“Ochoa had for years dreamed of working for the Border Patrol and finally landed a job there, she said. By the time the couple split in 2021, he had become a gun enthusiast with about 25 rifles, pistols and shotguns, Angelica Ochoa said.” www.propublica.org/article/alex...

Empowering them materially and then trying them to restrain them legally won’t work.

JUST IN: ICE agents in San Francisco just now drove through protesters, used pepper spray, & brandished rifles at those who had gathered to try to stop an immigration arrest. A woman, holding onto the hood of an ICE SUV, was thrown off. youtu.be/GQ_YGzfaQLM

The best thing we can do to support Minnesota from far away is prepare locally. If you're in the Bay, we're dominated by 501C3's and nonprofits, but this isn't their moment. Assemble the PTA, start a group chat w/ neighbors, literally call your friends. Don't let formalization stop you.

Politicians don't respond to "shame," they respond to power. Specifically, they respond to threats *to* their power from collectives of those they've robbed of said power. Shame is useful in small p politics, but not with these jokers.

Bears got a standing ovation leaving soldier field tonight after losing to the Rams and goddamn if that isn't a classy fucking city, I don't know what is

Quite a quote from Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair, who was asked about his STOP THE GENOCIDE eye black after today’s game www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Ginger cuz looks like he’s never even heard of an oblique

"This is a verified page fundraising support for the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation, AFL-CIO and Working Partnerships' 2026 rapid response effort to meet the needs of impacted union members, worker center members, and their families..." workingpartnerships.betterworld.org/campaigns/su...

At Coscto, workers organized in-store spaces so that delivery delivery app drivers can avoid ICE agents Bicycle clubs are buying out tamale and fruit stands so that vendors can stay home Cafes are giving away whistles for free Hear me when I say this: you can do something and you can do it at work.

It is so incredibly important that we allow this moment to change us in similar ways. Crying more, caring more, feeling more is how we find it within ourselves to do more.

Recently a Chicago organizer told me that while they while they intellectually knew that we only have each other, this moment in which they often find themselves alone on a corner with nothing but a whistle and a comrade, has really deepened the level of care with which they do this work

A frightening byproduct of professional activism is that average people think they need to be certain, brave, and an expert in order to go do something. You don't. Do it unsure. Do it scared. Do it without having read all the books. Showing up for your community doesn't require a degree.

To the most action averse person who is watching this “helplessly,” I say: these people have salaries, their weapons cost money, their gear, their fucking advertisements on LinkedIn all cost money. This so called institution has a budget, and your taxes pay for all of it. Tax day is April 15th.

Often, I find good liberals' primary obstacle to agitation is certainty, specifically around legality. But as the veneer of civil rights fade, these people who we've dismissed for so long, are ready and willing to supplant reformism with community safety. It's a necessary and thrilling change.

There is not enough antacid in the Midwest for the Bears to be playing like this

If you're in Oakland this weekend, I'm facilitating a FREE session on overcoming personal barriers to organizing. If you or a loved one, is unsure of what to do, how much risk to take, or generally has an aversion to thinking of themselves as an organizer. Everyone welcome! oacc.cc/event/activa...

Neither Kissinger nor Rumsfeld experienced the consequences of architecting human rights atrocities and war. Please stop talking to me about international law.

In order to effectively resist empire waging war in our name, we must first accept that kidnapping, the exploitation of land & people is how empires are built and function. That we have acquiesced to it in many ways and that to begin to put an end to it requires we fundamentally change how we exist.
