Grab Them By the Midterms

We are exactly six months until the midterm elections in American - so it seemed like the right time to ask WHAT IS HAPPENING IN MY HOME COUNTRY? This week I talk again to political strategist @rachelbitecofer.bsky.social Check out our conversation only here: youtu.be/Su4UDcU-PTQ

Great to join Geoff again on this lovely pod!

if you really think about it, there's no problem we face that can't be solved by a new White House ballroom

The more I think about the 70,000 ICE incarcerated without due process the more I think we are underreacting. People are literally trapped inside for profit prisons. We need to do something.

Do not move beyond Trump’s public threat of genocide.

The data we are getting out of ICE now conclusively destroys their "worst of the worst" narrative. Since the Los Angeles raids began in June last year, there has been a massive expansion of ICE arrests against people with no criminal record, while arrests of others remained flat.

Trans rights are human rights. This Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the resilience of transgender and nonbinary Americans and celebrate their incredible courage.

y'all

Don’t let anybody tell you small towns don’t matter. 🤠🔥 Weatherford, Texas — population under 8,000 — came out today to say no kings, no exceptions. Deep in red state America, democracy is alive and fighting. #NoKings2026

Gerald Ford vetoed naming a post office after himself.

Let's focus on something we ALL agree on: #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

Thank you to everyone who attended yesterday’s No Tyrants demonstration in London and the “March Against the Far Right”. We are grateful to the DAUK members who stood in solidarity with our community in defiance of the Trump Administration’s authoritarianism and far right movements around the world.

No Kings is international! Hope to see U.S. citizens and allies abroad out protesting!

Virginia: early voting for the redistricting amendment is happening now through April 18. Protect your voting power and help level the playing field ahead of the midterm elections by voting YES today or on Election Day, April 21.

The exact same election rules are now in place when Republicans won the presidency, house and senate in 2024. But now suddenly Republicans are unable to win another election without the SAVE Act because everyone has been cheating. Makes sense.

BREAKING: Democrat Emily Gregory wins Florida House District 87 special election, defeating Republican Jon Maples and flipping the seat from red to blue. This is the Mar-a-Lago district — Trump won it by 11 points in 2024 and heavily promoted Maples.

Markwayne Mullin has defended fatal ICE shootings, pushed extreme anti-immigrant policies, denied the 2020 election, and shown reckless judgment unfit for leadership. Tell your Senators: Vote NO on confirming him as DHS Secretary!

The SAVE Act is voter suppression—not security. It would purge millions, especially married women with name changes, low-income voters without passports, and more. Tell Your Senators: Vote NO to protect our democracy!

Simple information about what the SAVE Act would actually do to American voters. Tens of millions would lose their right to vote unless they spend lots of $$$ and jump through bureaucratic hoops before November.

-Zero Congressional consultation or approval. -Zero preparation of public for need/consequences of war. -Zero evidence of thought about "OK, what might the other side do?" Next month. Next year. -Zero mention of anti-nuke agreement Trump voided, or Trump claim last year that nukes "obliterated."

The Constitution is clear: the power to declare war belongs to Congress, not the President. When a president ignores that basic safeguard, it is not just a policy disagreement - it is lawlessness. And it puts lives, global stability, and our democracy at risk: www.democratsabroad.org/trump_unchec...

im starting to think the woke mind virus wasnt actually the biggest threat to civilization

I am hopeful that the war in Iran will bring needed democratic change to … the United States of America.

Trump‘s video about the attack on Iran is more like a hostage video. Highly edited. And what’s with the fucking hat?

This argument means the Right continue to define the debate on their terms. He’s wrong.

Dictators on buildings.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote. The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

Criticizing your country isn’t unpatriotic — this is 👇🏽

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

This is what Nicolás Maduro did in Venezuela. Nationalize voting, then clamp down on journalists and appoint only partisan judges. Becoming a dictator one step at a time. 🗽

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

Of all the things that never happened, this ‘Melania’ movie moment never happened the most. How much do you think they paid Nick to write this fiction?

friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding in Melania theaters bc he knows people assume no one is in there

It’s been four days. Who murdered Alex Pretti??

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Translate into German and change Greenland to Czechoslovakia. It’s the exact same thing. youtu.be/2SrSQv0ETvs?...

OOPS.

🇨🇦PM Carney just schooled our cowardly European leaders at #Davos. This speech was clearly aimed at them: "We must actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be." "What does it mean for middle powers to live the truth? First it means naming reality..." (🧵1/6)

Never forget that billionaires spend billions to convince you that voting doesn't matter. Don't help them. Voting isn't the ONLY thing we can do, but it is the most powerful check on the executive. "Don't bother voting because there'll be no free elections" is oligarch propaganda.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

Less than two weeks until my one-off fundraiser and I am bananas excited coz I'll be debuting the most insane dress I have ever owned. It was £450 new and I got it on Vinted last month for £36 AND I've got shoes that match already. See it by getting a ticket here: www.outsavvy.com/event/31688/...
