Hope is not a sentimental optimism that things will somehow work out; hope is the subversive conviction that injustice and death will not have the final word and acting on that belief. Hope is not passive waiting it’s active persistence. Hope prays, peacefully protests, weeps, and keeps showing up.

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

The Young Republican chat leak isn’t about “kids telling jokes.” It’s about a culture that’s been decades in the making—from the Southern Strategy to Trump’s open embrace of white nationalism. J.D. Vance’s defense of it shows how far the party has fallen. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

I think the murders of Charlie Kirk and Tray Reed should be dealt with the same, but of course, they won't be, because of racism and Christian nationalism 😡

Here's where we are: Republicans have shut down the government. Why? They won't negotiate. They want to pass a bill that will allow the Trump administration to throw 15 million Americans off their health care & double premiums for 20 million Americans. We won't let them.

Dear politicians, please make up your mind whether or not Puerto Rico is a US territory or not. Thanks for your attention

A man on the streets of the UK is asked about the “problem of immigration” and dismantles talking points with ease.

When we take care of forests, they take care of us. They give us clean air, shelter, and livelihoods and for many Indigenous Peoples, they are territories of life. RT to show your 💚for forests !

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive GLOBAL study revealed COVID-19 vaccines utilizing mRNA technology PREVENTED OVER 2.5 MILLION deaths WORLDWIDE between 2020 and 2024. It reveals that vaccinations didn’t JUST protect against illness. They PRESERVED nearly 15 MILLION years of human life.

The playbook of demagogues like Trump is to protect the Oligarchs by dividing us up based on race, religion, place of birth or sexual orientation. They want us to hate each other while they laugh all the way to the bank. Don’t fall for it.

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely. Here's why.

In light of Trump’s worsening cruelty, vindictiveness, and ever more belligerent attacks on democracy, many of you ask: “What can I do now?” Here are a baker’s dozen of recommendations. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-you-can-do-f3d

American history should begin with Native history. They were the first inhabitants of this land — their stories deserve to be told first.

I received the email too. It's bogus, because Social Security is always taxed by the employer, before it is received by the SSA; then never taxed when it goes from the SSA to you. It's been that way as long as I remember

Not even listening to Jesus 😢

Time to go German immigrant!

If our Christianity causes kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be unwelcome, and the needy to be treated as “parasites,” all while billionaires get richer, we’ve profoundly misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus’ teachings.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

Yes Zelenskyy had the cards. TACOTrump is the One who didn’t have the cards…

National parks were not 'pristine wilderness'—they were home. This 1951 photo of Blackfoot leaders with government officials is a stark reminder of Indigenous displacement. These lands were stewarded for millennia, yet their history remains erased. #IndigenousHistory #LandBack
