BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

i don’t take myself seriously, so my first urge is to make fun of the fact that i made the Time100 Philanthropy list. but i really am honored. not just to be on a fancy list (w/my buds Messi and Shakira) and have my work seen, but to have gotten to help people in the place i love so much

This morning at the Minnesota State Capitol. An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.

If you are able, please join me in supporting a Mpls family that is experiencing fear and hardship with the detention of their family member, taken Jan 3 and sent to a detention center in Nebraska. Bills, rent, and legal fees are accumulating and they need some community support. gofund.me/85b41dc95

Arresting Black journalists for covering a protest is a violation of the most basic principles of the 1st amendment. This administration is determined to deny not only the constitutional rights of its citizens and residents, but the human rights of all who oppose its racist agenda.

This also came to mind for me ✨A perfectly delivered line.

Zoran has friends everywhere.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger. Gen Z women aren't playing around.

Black immigrants are disproportionately harmed by exclusionary immigration policies and are continuously erased from the broader immigration discourse.

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy. This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

This is why an attack on trans women is an attack on *all* women. 😡 As someone put it, how men treat trans women in public, is how they treat cis women in private. 🤷😡

Watch this.

In what might be the logical endpoint of American Zionism, the Heritage Foundation has declared that pro-Palestinian activism is not just antisemitic, but is in fact a shadowy global conspiracy … led by Jews. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

#tdih 1968 UPenn student Kiyoshi Kuromiya and friends held a demonstration against the use of napalm in Vietnam. They announced that a dog would be burned alive with napalm in front of university library. Thousands turned up to protest. Students were handed a flier that said: [See⬇️ | 🧵1/3]

The New Barbarism is here. Palestinians used for target practice by Israeli weapon and military software manufacturers. Deportations that are run like ‘Amazon Prime for humans'. Foreign aid replaced by tariffs on the poor. Etc. etc. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We are seeing a very clear pattern of banning things that make Trumpists and their kids feel bad: - Books about colonialism, slavery and segregation - Challenging ideas about gender - Protests against genocide - Science generally It's a blanket ban on hard feelings. They called us snowflakes.

leave our kids alone.

A new documentary from Palestinian American-run Watermelon Pictures, and Breakthrough News (with rapper Macklemore and Alana Hadid among the producers), shows perspectives from inside the 2024 Columbia University encampments.

A Supreme Court opinion about the U.S. government disappearing people to a prison in El Salvador should probably mention the words "El Salvador"

WashPo Apr 9 -- Brevard Cty FL high school teacher of 11 years became state's first to have contract terminated for using trans student's preferred rather than legal name w/o parental permission under a new "parents' rights" law. Brevard is home of Moms for Liberty. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

"The immigrant workers from Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, and Venezuela have received a mixed reaction to their imminent deportation—hostility from some co-workers and an outpouring of support from their union (IUE-CWA Local 83761) and the local labor movement." labornotes.org/2025/04/kent...

COMPARE: the results of fighting back to the results of not fighting back

Truly this is the new cointelpro, but overt instead of covert.

“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.” -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I didn’t foresee blind support of Israel literally destroying American higher ed & freedom of speech but wow what a clear demonstration of the mantra “none of us are free until all of us are free”.

This week’s premium episode is about the latest chapter in Trump’s authoritarian blitz, from deportations without due process to the targeted disappearance of protestors.

Alfredo “Lelo” Juarez is one of the most compelling organizers in the labor movement. One of the very moving parts of my interview with Edgar Franks, Lelo's comrade and political director of his union, for @truthout.org.

The Trump administration's volley of attacks is right out of the boss' playbook. It’s never been more important for organizers to remember: workers have the power to fight back. labornotes.org/blogs/2025/0...

You can use this @fightforthefuture.org tool to easily tell your state legislators to oppose mandatory ID check laws. www.stoponlineidchecks.org

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

On April 5, I am joining thousands of people as we march on Washington and demand an end to the genocide and an arms embargo NOW.

So students can be alert to scapegoating divide & conquer tactics, teach outside textbook about Red Scare, "a scorched-earth policy against country’s most progressive forces." Not just McCarthy & Hollywood, it was an attack on Black freedom & labor struggles. www.zinnedproject.org/materials/su...

Mahmoud Khalil's rights should be defended for their own sake, and for his unborn child's sake, but they should also be defended on principle and for all of our sakes. The slope is slippery; the rights are crucial.
