LA is a sanctuary city. We’ve made it clear that we don’t want our resources going to collaborate with a rogue, dangerous agency like ICE. There are too many risks involved in remaining partnered with a company that’s part of such a vast national surveillance network.

Pretty compelling essay from Daniel Biss in The Nation, in which he reiterates his support for -The Block The Bombs Act (strongest arms embargo on Israel legislation ever unveiled in Congress). -Unilateral recognition of the State of Palestine. -Naming and shaming AIPAC intervention in elections.

Ketanji Brown Jackson was the only dissenter in the conversion therapy case 😞 It's so upsetting, and I just want to remind folks that Trans Lifeline is a resource you should take advantage of right now if you need it. Your life is precious. +1-877-565-8860 translifeline.org

It's Trans Day of Visibility and I wrote about how visibility without protection is a trap, and it often seems like the loudest calls for us to be visible are coming from those who have done nothing to protect us. www.coyotemedia.org/im-supposed-...

The human costs of the US war on Iran steals the future of Iranians in terms of their lives- in time they would otherwise live if not for US bombs. The carbon costs of the US war on Iran steal the future from us all. From @cplusc.bsky.social:

I know there's a lot going on But what the US is doing to Cuba is unconscionable

Hell no

Democrats enabling the Republicans to keep funding the CBP would be betrayal to the people of Minneapolis and all those cities around the country that experienced their so called "surge" in 2025.

Israel is distinctly unpopular with the Democratic base and pretty unpopular with independents. this should help clarify that Newsom isn’t trying to move away from *unpopular* lefty positions, he’s trying to abandon the left entirely

Fossil fuel price shocks are redistribution shocks. Last time, we warned windfall profits would benefit the ultra-rich at the expense of everyone else. This time, there is no excuse. The numbers are in. We need windfall profit taxes & multilateral price caps now.

Living in Scandinavia, I find myself morbidly fascinated by American progressives' inability to understand—or acknowledge—that the secret to a healthy, functioning welfare state is broad middle-class buy-in. Everyone pays something—some more than others; everyone gets something—some more than others

Declaring that no quarter will be given is straightforwardly prohibited under international humanitarian law. When done to threaten an adversary, the declaration itself amounts to a war crime. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/u...

Democrats should demand a clawback of ICE's remaining OBBB money before agreeing to supplemental Pentagon funding.

The @nytimes.com reports on how insurers use credit score in home insurance premium pricing. The piece draws on research from @cplusc.bsky.social & @consumerfed.bsky.social that found credit score was a greater indicator of high premium prices than disaster risk. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Let's hope he hid the mirror in the attack.

This is one reason why we cannot "concede" on "the worst of the worst" framing. Defund the police, all the police, is the only way.

Oil and gas fuels global conflict. And global conflict fuels sharpened oil and gas costs. All because oil and gas is a rare commodity that only exists in some parts of the world. And enriches a small number of corporations who use a portion of their profit to lock us further into fossil fuels.

BREAKING: Deaths in ICE detention are causing international strife, with the Mexican government calling for an investigation into deaths in detention.

RESOURCE: Great article from @moira.bsky.social sharing critical lessons from the international accompaniment movement about the kind of infrastructure and protocols our communities need in order to build long-term resistance to fascism. Check it out in @wagingnonviolence.org. #NoKings

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why? If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment. Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

Wonderful resource on community organising in crisis conditions ❤️

This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.

No one makes a decision alone Rotate decision makers Institute urgency guides These are some of the strategies developed over decades of accompaniment in violent, repressive political contexts that Zia Kandler & I learned & now share. I hope they're useful. 💜 wagingnonviolence.org/2026/02/how-...

Trump is in the Epstein files thousands of times, he is shredding the first amendment, he is brazenly corrupt, he is opening concentration camps in their districts, and he is starting an unprovoked war with Iran. WHY WOULD YOU NOT DISRUPT THE STATE OF THE UNION. The whole D leadership needs to go.

How dreamy to have financial regulators that actually account for, and regulate on, environmental & climate risks to the financial system.

My latest piece, out in @prismreports.org today, details the increasing state violence against photojournalists documenting ICE. In the story, journalists who’ve covered the ICE raids in LA, Oakland, Chicago, and MN share their advice on staying safe, getting the shot, and defending a free press.

There's enough of this in one newspaper in one state in one day for a thread, so let's do it. Impunity for the wealthy has become such a background condition that it generally goes unremarked. Come find your issue and start agitating! Restore The Rule of Law in California: A Thread

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

The EPA's decision to quit regulating emissions might be symbolic, but what it symbolizes if scary: a government that puts antiquated ideology and corporate profits over the health and welfare of its people Gift link to my column for @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

We need to stop referring to these people as centrist Democrats. They are advancing a right-wing agenda and should be referred to as such.

Where is the halftime show posted so I can rewatch it 10 more times?!?

The video for El Apagón includes a great documentary on the climate crisis in Puerto Rico, including the energy injustice issues referenced in the halftime show. youtu.be/1TCX_Aqzoo4?...

If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisis—and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

This story repeatedly mentions insurance cost increases as a problem, yet there's no exploration whatsoever of that issue. Instead, the mayor's pro-tenant policies, not insurance companies, are framed as the primary villain.

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Here’s my @thenation.com post on the arrest of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, the violation of the First Amendment, and Trump’s ongoing attempts to change the face of his victims and spark a race war.

Now THIS is more like it!

Senator Schumer's DC office, in case you want to let him know what you think about this: 202-224-6542.

“Liam is getting sick because the food they receive is not of good quality ... He has stomach pain, he’s vomiting, he has a fever and he no longer wants to eat.” Body cameras on ICE/CBP agents are not going to fix this.

Something you won't hear about on national news. Two people killed by Border Patrol in a vehicle chase. Just one example of the everyday violence of the border. maxgranger.substack.com/p/breaking-b...

This COULD be the way @governor.ca.gov approached conversations in CA about wealth taxes. Instead, he's putting the billionaires first, again.

I have a new piece out today describing how the insurance industry's profit motives conflict with our need for protection & outlining the Disaster Insurance for All proposal from @cplusc.bsky.social in #TheRooftop, @futurelandhousing.bsky.social's housing blog. www.newamerica.org/future-land-...

The whole damn system is guilty as hell, from @lollardfish.bsky.social in today’s print edition of the Strib (and on the facing page, letter after letter excoriating ICE and the businesses that prop it up)

Don't give up on the pressure!

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

“It’s only natural that our brains struggle to find logic in what we are seeing. There is a logic, and this logic has a name. It’s called state terror.”

We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it

Hard to believe one could be excited for an insurance commissioner race, but with a candidate like Jane Kim -- a proven champion for working people -- I'm pretty darn excited. youtu.be/VdaRc61cYfk
