Having an awesome time in Minneapolis at a meeting of The Organizing Forum listening to scholars and practitioners of grassroots organizing thinking through how we do our work at a time like this. Grateful. Sometimes you just need to be reminded of your why, you know? substack.com/@organizingf...

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

Private equity firms own nearly 3 million apartment units, about 13% of the total apartments across the country, according to a new analysis from watchdog group Private Equity Stakeholder Project.

Our next governor needs to look out for Californians, not corporate donors. (2/2)

Grateful to receive the endorsement of the Consumer Federation of California! From standing up for victims of predatory lending to taking on Big Pharma in Congress, my entire career has been built on protecting working families from special interests. (1/2)

An extraordinary rebuke of Todd Blanche and his Justice Department. Federal judge dismisses the indictment of Abrego Garcia (an exceedingly rare outcome in a criminal case). Finding of vindictive prosecution and "an abuse of prosecuting power." The opinion name checks Blanche nearly 30 times.

Doctors who prescribe ineffective treatments to cancer patients should face criminal liability.

Sickening. This wellness fad is so dangerous.

So while they're ignoring Trump just taking $1.8 billion of taxpayer funding for his "do crimes for me" slush fund, MAGA is all a-flutter over this case. Not that it surprises anyone, but they only think it's "fraud" if they think Black people benefitted. apnews.com/article/frau...

NEW: A Spokane ICE agent was discovered to have posted on X last year calling Black people “ghetto garbage” and transgender people “mentally ill.” He was called to the stand today to explain himself. The story was first reported by @rangemedia.co www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...

Police said that aside from the “misconduct in public office” probe into the former royal, they are also investigating a 2020 incident involving a woman being taken to a Windsor address “for sexual purposes.”

The U.S. owes reparations and land to a whole lot of people. I don’t know how you go about delivering that, but it’s clear to me that we need an end to capitalism and a massive wealth redistribution that prioritizes oppressed people all over the world

I wholeheartedly believe that the descendants of slaves should get reparations. It’s a fundamental pillar of my belief system. The dollar amounts of these reparations vary wildly depending on whom you ask, but there’s pretty broad consensus that it would be in the tens of trillions of dollars.

if there's one conclusion that the study of both labor history and imperialism converge on, it is that the richest people in the world are happy to burn money on control, power, impunity. and the "everything is about profit" version of anti-capitalism does not survive serious contact with either

The nightmare never ends. Ibrahim is sick, his fever is dangerously high. He sleeps on cold nylon sheets. After losing my daughters, this fear paralyzes me. I can't stand here and watch him wither away. I'm begging for help to treat him before it's too late.🙏🥺💔 chuffed.org/project/161145 ✅️Molly shah

I saved many lives at the beginning of the war, but today I am searching for someone to save me and my child from this pain and fear I am not asking for the impossible just a chance to live in safety and dignity Don't let us down, this campaign is our only source of income chuffed.org/project/soad

ok today I swore I was hearing some kind of Native American pan flute music for like 30 minutes, and I finally took my afternoon break to go look and it was indeed real but *four blocks away*

D.C. natives are the heart and soul of the District. They are the ones who carry the stories, traditions, and resilience of the District with them each day, nurturing neighborhoods where creativity can thrive and communities are protected.

Here is a Mitch McConnell with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and Steny Hoyer, huddled in a secure room in the Capitol on Jan 6, on speakerphone with the Pentagon begging for help from screaming mob. The Pentagon was not immediately helpful.

I was in the chamber for this and you couldn’t hear McGovern because it was so loud. Angry Ds as they pulled the vote to end the war (because it would have passed.)

I figured there would be shady conduct with the Broadview Six grand jury, but it's unreal. Vouching is bad enough, but dismissing grand jurors who disagreed with them, hiding a no true bill, and hiding pages of the transcript from the judge? That should be disbarment. That's WAY beyond sanctionable.

1) It would be devastating. There's a lot of us working in senior care 2) This is why my mom and I agreed she's not going to a facility: imagine how helpless she'd be. No thanks.

Anyone see a trend here 🤔

Annapolis reaches tentative $15 million settlement in housing discrimination lawsuits

I really wish publishers would just all agree to do the thing where the cover says “with [ACTUAL AUTHOR]” in ten point type under the celebrity’s name. Gives credit where due, is more transparent, and isn’t going to deter any fans from picking it up.

Me: "Are Singaporean rail passengers wealthier than bus riders?" Singaporean friend: "Of course not. Transit is transit. Everybody rides everything." Me: *sighs in American*

Alex Lawson: Why did they cut $1 trillion from Medicaid? Why did they cut food stamps and rip food off the tables of the hungry? Why are they harming the least of us to give trillions in tax handouts to the billionaires that we see in the Epstein files?

In these political cult-like times people look to their chosen party leaders for guidance. The Greens, NDP & Bloc for that matter not informing their base about what C-22 would do to them is irresponsible.

please don’t let this stall until it’s an emergency. i really can’t deal with any more stress 😩

Tech sector lawlessness is out of control. Rideshare/AirBnB breaking taxi/hotel regulations, crypto running fraud, AI committing mass IP theft, now "prediction markets" just doing gambling... The lesson seems to be that if you break the law at massive scale, you get rich and get away with it.

This'll certainly end well

Wrote about today's congressional hearing on court expansion Come for my good analysis, stay for this delightful political cartoon I found from like a hundred years ago about previous changes to the size of the Court ballsandstrikes.org/court-reform...

Seen in Fort Greene. Can anyone translate?

Guys you might want to sit down for this. It turns out... look, take a breath, I understand this is hard for a lot of you... Democrats actually have tools at their disposal to push back and even inflict actual repercussions on Republicans who are criminally bad at their jobs

There's a lot to unpack from all these AI-booing incidents, but I also just find it weird how all these commencement speakers address an audience full of graduates as if they were their employees at a mandatory all-staff meeting

This is so sick.

This is fucking insanity www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-t...

Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak got cheers, not boos, after telling students they 'all have AI — actual intelligence' buff.ly/AtVyAoy « Steve Wozniak did what other college graduation commencement speakers couldn't this year: earn applause when talking about AI. »

Why scramble? Just denounce her. Period.
