No wonder the entrenched bureaucracy hates him to much. He's showing America that things REALLY can get better when you work on behalf of everyone, not for the Epstein class.

By now it should be clear that we cannot rely on the Constitution, the law, or formal rights to protect us. The rich and powerful interpret the Constitution, make the laws (& break them) and grant our rights (or don't). We need to learn how to more effectively wield OUR power––people power.

The nonviolent US Revolution: “…it is very possible that British power might have totally collapsed de jure short of the eight years that it took for the War of Independence. Rather than the war having speeded up independence, it may very well have postponed it.” nonviolence3.com/sharp/disreg...

“A decentralized and empowered civil society is one of the most resilient forms of democratic defense. This moment calls for us to assess wisely, build steadily, act strategically & defend relentlessly.” @wagingnonviolence.org wagingnonviolence.org/2025/11/the-...

My piece on using research to expose your opponent's weaknesses: “…power is more like a web than a monolith, & while your opponent may seem powerful, their power is not intrinsic, but rather derives from other people & institutions they cannot fully control.” wagingnonviolence.org/2026/04/powe...

Mullin says it's Sen. Andy Kim's fault that ICE thugs pepper-sprayed him outside a detention facility. Kim "shouldn't have been there," Mullin says. The Trump regime thinks it owns the streets and all of us are inmates in their version of America.

The National Park Service is using at least $67 million worth of park entrance fees to help fund President Trump’s beautification projects in Washington, D.C., according to a New York Times analysis. nyti.ms/4nQ6Uau

End fossil fuel subsidies while pairing that move with smart legislation that doesn't jack up fuel prices for consumers. Take it out of shareholder profits, for example. No profiting from extinction seems like a reasonable restriction.

Good to see this close once and for all. And hopefully to stop the madness of tent city prisons. Now, on to stopping other detention centers and #abolishICE.

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social at the CA state capitol: “We chanted ‘we will not go back’ — I burned a confederate flag outside the chamber to send a message we will not go back to the times in which our folks were met with Billy clubs & the blast of the fire hose…” 🇺🇸

Happy birthday to David Attenborough, who turns 100 today.

============== YES! The twice postponed Portland City Council vote on restricting all city staff from cooperating with federal immigration authorities has now passed, evidently. It was feared by some that it would lose public interest and sneak through after being postponed. #MEpolitics #Maine

Last March, millions hit the streets worldwide to say No Kings. Now, with May Day fast approaching, people are looking for what’s next. So on May 1st, don’t work, don’t go to school, and don’t give big corporations a single cent. Join the fight this May Day!

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

This is my favorite issue this year.
