Please stop and read this statement from Renee Good's wife.

Good news: Your organizing has grounded “ICE Air.”

Never forget. 🇺🇸

Trump told us what the attack was about. Not drugs. Not democracy. Not threats against the U.S. Like Iraq, it’s about “our oil.” Also, he wants control over the whole western hemisphere. Spreading violence and tyranny, and provoking war would be disastrous for everyone. Even the oil companies.

One of the most lopsided results you'll ever see in a poll, from our weekend Washington Post poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

WHERE DID YOU FIND COURAGE IN 2025? As we look forward to 2026, how can we encourage each other for the hard work ahead? What stories of courage can we share that will strengthen hearts and spirits? What did you notice in 2025 that we can build on in 2026? Leave a comment below or DM me.

Do you find yourself having “bunker envy” when you see what billionaires are building to survive the coming collapse? Me neither. I wrote this about a better idea … how about billionaires stop destroying the Earth? open.substack.com/pub/howweris...

Albanese is dangerous to the establishment not because she is a politician using slogans, but because she wields the unassailable, technical weapon of International Law against a propaganda machine built on lies. www.counterpunch.org/2025/12/05/w...

GALVANIZING POWER THROUGH JOYFUL, LOCAL ACTION What life would look like if we centered love and interdependence as the sources of power. Honored to be featured on @Nonviolence Radio this week. You can find the transcript at my Substack, How We Rise open.substack.com/pub/howweris...

When we organize together, we win. This fight has always been about more than one comedian, it’s about contesting fascist control of media & their white supremacist demands to take away our freedom of speech and silence anyone who doesn't look, live, or love like them from speaking truth to power.

They are soooo hoping for a protester to get “violent” so they can justify their invasion of our cities. Stay safe and peaceful everyone! ❤️ www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/0...

Well here’s some good news.

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

“If this how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they’re doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers,” he said, appearing to briefly be overcome with emotion. -NY Times coverage of Sen Padilla taken to the floor at press conf.

This looks amazing. Can't wait to see what they produce.

YES! Magazine will be closing, just short of 30 years after we founded it in 1996. Feeling gratitude for what we were able to accomplish, for the support and collaboration, and for the other media who continue the work. Also feeling sad for the many ways independent media is under attack.

Trump honoring the troops? You mean the guy who faked bone spurs, mocked POWs, insulted Gold Star families, skipped memorials for weather, and called our fallen “suckers”? Yeah, his $100M bday parade isn’t for them—it’s a vanity project for a coward craving applause. abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...

There’s more to these tariffs than I’d realized. Along with breaking the economy, they offer a new way to coerce nations to end labor, environmental, digital, and democratic protections. And to shake down companies for favors or cash in exchange for exemptions. open.substack.com/pub/howweris...

Did Putin direct Trump to break America? Or is he freelancing?

Dear DNC: Open the Gates Wide for Your People's Cabinet! A truly open process could generate momentum, new ideas, and might even help reboot the @democrats.org. Here's how it could work howwerise.substack.com/p/dear-dnc-o... #HandsOff @progressdems.bsky.social #DNC

Hundreds of protesters turned out for a Hands Off rally here in Bremerton WA, a working class industrial/ Navy town near Seattle. And a pod of orca passed by! There were creative and heartfelt signs, lots of passers-by honking and waving in support, a brass band, and so much energy and goodwill.

Thanks Aaron. People at the grassroots need to be heard if the Democratic Party is going to find its way to a ruling majority.

This is great! Glad they thought of it :-) One thing, though. It should include input from all the people (except MAGA, since they already have a cabinet). Enough with making decisions behind closed doors. Let the people choose the People's Cabinet! See how at www.commondreams.org/opinion/trum...

Thanks for picking up this idea! Now we just need some of the national orgs to pick it up and run with it!

A shadow cabinet, chosen thru a grassroots process, is getting some support. Who has the capacity to organize this? @workingfamilies.org @indivisible.org @moveon.org @blacklivesmatter.com @thedemcoalition.bsky.social @equality.house.gov @aflcio.org www.laprogressive.com/progressive-...

Why We Need a Progressive Shadow Cabinet to Counter Trump open.substack.com/pub/howweris... We could have 1) spokespeople prepped to critique MAGA policies & propose real solutions, 2) grassroots people choosing leaders, and 3) a process that welcomes visionary alternatives. #HowWeRise #resistance

People say the chaos and destruction brought by Elon Musk could hurt Trump. But won’t Trump just fire him when he becomes a liability, and claim to be the hero who stood up for the American people? Or am I missing something?
