In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.

✅ Highest wealth inequality ever recorded in Canadian history ✅ Highest unemployment in a decade ✅ Highest food insecurity in Canadian recorded history You are being gaslit. 

I think this messaging is important in context, but yes, that’s what they voted for. And they should have to grapple with that fact.

Just for the record, Fetterman's red flag that people ignored in order to see him as a left wing populist was that he was a fucking insurance executive, not a fucked up Marine

Every now and then, Georgian police storm into the crowd standing on the sidewalk and randomly arrest protesters. Yet the crowd remains still. Day 329 of uninterrupted, nationwide protests in Georgia. 📷 Dato Simonia

This really tells the story of why you need aggressive pushback and you can't just wait for the public to come around to your point of view. In a vacuum a lot of people will just shrug and accept The Horrors!

It's also interesting that half(!) of our beautiful independents who initially said they disagree switched to "don't know" once they saw Trump doing it

We didn’t reach Gaza.nWe didn’t bring the aid. And we didn’t bring anyone back to life. But I’m told that—because we kept the IDF busy that night—Palestinians in Gaza were able to catch and eat fish from their own waters for the first time in months. www.currentaffairs.org/news/my-time...

American higher education has produced a nation with the greatest educational, economic, technological and geopolitical prowess that the world has ever seen. Here's why we must radically change how it works in order to make conservatives happy.

Black lung is still killing America’s coal miners. Last week, a group of black lung patients made the long journey to Washington D.C. with a simple plea for Trump’s Department of Labor: enforce the silica rule, and stop this plague. My report for @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Article on my visit last week with Mumia Abu-Jamal. There was a LOT going on: the return of his eyesight, his previous night's remarks at an event for Assata Shakur, a forthcoming march, and then drama with the guards that may have killed irony forever www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Thanks for having us! I also made ref to a zine, '40 Ways to Fight Fascists: Street-Legal Tactics For Community Activists' by @transform6789.bsky.social et al, which is a US publication but provides good general principles which can be adapted to the AUS context. justseeds.org/graphic/40-w...

some fun facts from Demand Justice about Harold Mooty, a couple really stand out

The best time to abolish ICE would have been in 2021. The next best time is if we win in 2028. At this point, any Democrat unwilling to abolish ICE must be drummed out of the primary.

why the hell are they confirming trump's judges when trump's speaker of the house won't swear in Grijalva?

one thing about racism is the way people will ignore the most likely explanation for something like having a Nazi tattoo for 20 years. the most simple and obvious explanation was that he knew what it was and kept it. his excusers need to stop the embarrassing mental gymnastics.

Hey #Starbucks: I live in Seattle. I'm a customer. I've held top tier loyalty program status in 3 countries over the last 15 years. I enjoy your products & value your brand. But I won't cross a picket line. Negotiate a damn contract with @sbworkersunited.org .

Yep, we've seen the massive #NoKings rallies, with tens of thousands gathered in big cities across the country. But y'all look at this small protest of 11 people in the small, small town of Kosciusko, Mississppi. That's democracy, too. www.mississippifreepress.org/no-kings-pro...

🚨Stephanie Taylor, co-founder of @boldprogressives.org: "We know that Abdul El-Sayed will work hard every day for affordable housing, groceries, and health care for Michigan families."

Notice the willingness to listen, perform outreach without expecting guaranteed results, and being open to sometimes walking away without having all the answers.

Not that it should matter, but Kat Abughazaleh is actually Palestinian and Daniel Biss is actually Israeli, which means they both have a lot more personally at stake than most American politicians. But AIPAC doesn't care, of course.

They're are organizations that help people to get their nazi tattoos covered. Tattoo artists DONATE their time and skill to covering up hate tattoos.

Medical TV shows have perpetrated the myth that your "medical team" all talk to each other and lead the way to helping you get better. The reality is that YOU have to be the team leader, convening people, sharing information, figuring out next steps.

If I have learned 1 thing from years of chronic pain, it is to be INCREDIBLY, POLITELY PERSISTENT when you deal with the medical community. Stick multiple irons in the fire. Don't accept "wait for 6 weeks and let's see." Always have your next backup plan ready. You have to be you own lobbyist
