Earlier this month, Indivisibles in California launched UC Unbowed — a collective of students, alumni, faculty, and community members defending the University of California from Trump’s attacks on free speech and academic independence. The campaign took off like a rocket. 🧵

i have a story coming today that explains how this tweet is… unacceptable levels of weirdly inaccurate

Some CA legislator should propose a bill to move wildfire mitigation costs out of electricity bills & into the general fund. It's more honest (the whole state is affected), more progressive (electricity bills are *extremely* regressive), & would, at a stroke, lower CA electric bills.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends. We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over. We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Big news for #Berkeley: Councilmember @cecilialunaparra.bsky.social and @mayoradenaishii.bsky.social have successfully worked with the Fire Department and other city staff to keep the Telegraph Ave street fair on Telegraph! Come visit in December! www.telegraphfair.com

I can’t quite put it into words, but Trump praising Mamdani on the same day that MTG resigns in opposition to “big Tech, big Pharma, the war complex and big donors” feels like a harbinger of realignment. There is a political earthquake trembling beneath the surface waiting to break through.

Trump feuding with Marjorie Taylor Greene but being in love with Zohran Mamdani was not on my November 2025 bingo card

“A New Jersey fraudster who was pardoned by President Trump in 2021 was sentenced to 37 years in prison this month for running a $44 million Ponzi scheme, one of a growing number of people granted clemency by Mr. Trump only to be charged with new crimes.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/n...

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Cheers to the person who leaked the initial changes www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

The President called for the murder of Congressional Democrats. Congressional Democrats should call for his immediate removal or resignation. Congressional Republicans should condemn his statements and call for him to recant them. It's the very least they should be doing!

NEW: Sean Duffy frequently calls safety his “top priority” as transportation secretary. But I spent months wading through regulatory notices and found something far different: that USDOT has been delaying, weakening and killing dozens of safety rules, many opposed by the transportation industry.🧵

Almost half the Waymos on California streets are driving around empty. They're either waiting for the next customer or en route for a pickup. If robotaxis scale, anything close to that level of deadheading would create crushing gridlock. www.thedriverlessdigest.com/p/what-cpuc-...

“They buy apartments from me. They spend $40 million, $50 million. Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much.”

Look, I understand the skepticism, but there are lots of reasons to think that Trump could be cooked. The Epstein Files almost certainly contain further evidence that Trump sexually abused children. His coalition is already in various stages of fracturing. He’s in a very weak position.

NEW: Donald Trump’s grip on his party appears to be faltering in ways unseen since the immediate aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack. He may yet reassert himself, but the gathering clouds signal a GOP reckoning with its post-Trump future. The 7 signs: www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

On the whole this hasn't been a great year but imo that's all the more reason to recognize when we have wins that show we are not powerless. Right now, the Trump Administration is basically getting routed and/or in retreat on several key fronts. We are not powerless! We can do things! Consider-

Majorie Taylor Greene is not your friend. No politician is your friend. No permanent friends, just permanent interests. You shouldn’t like her, or even celebrate her—you can cheer the action and not the person. We want to encourage more defections, not kid ourselves about who people are.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

You can think it’s good that Massie and MTG are stirring up shit within the GOP caucus without thinking their politics in general is good. It’s not hard at all in fact?

Securing defections from the authoritarian regime is the centerpiece of any successful pro-democracy resistance. Politics isn’t fandom—when someone leaves the authoritarian coalition, we should take it as a win.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Hey guys 👇 Tennessee-07 special election to replace GOP Rep Mark Green happening Early voting ends on Nov 26 General election is Dec 2 Dems did SO well on Nov 4 that we have some real momentum Good time to pick up a surprise Dem House seat Good time to get involved Don't let this pass us by!

When you put it that way it almost sounds refined to dodge anti money laundering rules so you can bribe politicians / traffic children / fund terrorism or whatever else those anonymized and encrypted $500 million might do.

Trump spent his first Thanksgiving after getting elected President with Jeffrey Epstein. 2017.

According to Jeffrey Epstein himself, Trump spent hours at his house with an underage girl—and knew about Epstein’s trafficking of young girls. I don’t know, seems impeachable.

"of course he knew about the girls" Quote from newly released Epstein email about Trump.

I think, of all the slides in this report, this is the most important -- it's really worth examining closely. This illustrates why the triumph of electrotechnical is inevitable.

I waited a day to say this bc I respected everyone's right to vent some anger, but *remember to focus on what you can do*. Whether it's defending your community, taking action around what you've been venting about, whatever — but don't let all of your energy get captured in the social media space.

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people. Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people. We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are. We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.

That old metaphor about the frog and the boiling water isn’t true: If you put a frog in a pot of water and slowly raise the heat, the frog will jump out before it gets boiled to death. The question now is whether American journalists are smarter than frogs. My Stop the Presses newsletter.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

There really should be a coordinated effort to force Schumer out as Minority Leader as a result of his failure here.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
