Not today, Satan

Some important and good news today - many will remember the #FreeAlaa campaigning in the lead up to COP27 in Egypt. Alaa is a human rights advocate held for many years as a political prisoner. Today Alaa was pardoned and will be free soon. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

Brilliant piece, keeps the focus right where it belongs

Let’s do this

Thousands of protesters marched in Chicago on Saturday against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and President Donald Trump’s plan to send National Guard troops and immigration agents to the city.

Bringing the power of the pulpit to congressional hearings!! Thank you @warnock.senate.gov !!

There’s so much I could say about @hwbtpod episode 7 guest, @aijenpoo.bsky.social. With @domesticworkers.bsky.social and @caringacross.org she is one of our country’s strongest social movement leaders, and a true pioneer in the field of care, workers’ rights, and intersectional feminism. Enjoy!

Zing!

Keep pushing and the dam will break

OPINION: For all the mystery behind the decision to pull the plug on a Colin Kaepernick docuseries, this might be a clue: It came on the heels of an ESPN-NFL megadeal that requires federal...

Podcast on the Radio!! 🤓

Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning. The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc

Listen to episode 6 of @hwbtpod.bsky.social with Miriam Yeung wherever you get your podcasts! A true favorite with a dear friend.

NEW: In June, ProPublica reported that the FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to send drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants the agency had banned. Today, we’re publishing a list of those exempted drugs.

Wow, Phoenix—you showed UP. 💥 We set off on our Won’t Back Down tour with a packed house, fired‑up speakers, and a crowd ready to take on MAGA Republicans. This is how we flip the House in 2026. Let’s go.

if you want to have a nice and relaxing sunday, do not watch the new Hulu documentary on Hurricane Katrina. if you want to shake with rage and anger over the total failure of this nation's government and media establishment, watch the Hulu documentary on Katrina (this is a recommendation)

Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you, @rahnamepting.bsky.social , fellow movement leader and mom, for fighting with heart and bringing me into many courageous conversations over the years! Deep bow to @moveon.org for decades’ worth of innovation in action.

New lows in false equivalence between MAGA and lovers of all things good

Still happening. They have gassed the crowd at least 3 times and were bringing in more troops and vehicles all afternoon. The protest crowd includes young ppl and old women. The community is pissed and wants to defend our neighbors.

They will pay for this violence. But for now we need to focus on trying to meet the massive need created for millions of vulnerable people in this country. #BigUglyBill

One of my favorite conversations on the @hwbtpod.bsky.social so far, since it was with @rashadrobinson.bsky.social

Bring on the improbable victories!

Keep bringing it, Pedro! Embolden your peers!

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

Update

I hope you’ll find this new @hwbtpod interview with @rebeccasolnit helpful after a week of chilling political violence, yet historically significant mass protest. #podcast #nokings

A ridiculous attendee list for this AI / energy meeting. There is no longer any space between big tech and the fossil fuel industry - they're blended into one single entity now. Both faced with the anxiety of looming demand collapse, both keeping each other alive www.axios.com/2025/06/16/c...

Indeed. Part of the problem is that what happened in Minnesota chills people into silence

Yes!! So glad to see this. It felt huge in Oakland today and it was. #NoKings

Divine intervention

Believe your eyes!

Watch what else they try to do while they invade LA

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house." The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

Go Coco!!

I decided to turn a longtime dream of mine into a reality: hosting a podcast about building social movements. Our first episode is live today, with none other than Alicia Garza, co-founder of Black Lives Matter.  Take a listen wherever you do podcasts! Follow us @hwbtpod

Trump sold off the single largest area of public land in the U.S. to Big Oil. Left: This is what it looks like now. Right: This is what it’s about to become.

Put this in the time capsule for those in the future trying to understand 2025

while I knew judges have been getting anonymous 'I know where you live' pizza deliveries, I didn't know til writing this piece on Trump endangering judges that many orders were placed in the name of a judge's son who was murdered by someone posing as a deliveryman ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

NEW from me: China's CO2 emissions fell ~1.6% in the first quarter and have now been flat or down for more than a year. This is the first time on record that emissions are falling due to clean energy growth, not slow power demand.
