I'm teaching a graduate level seminar on community organizing this semester. One of the fun parts has been revisiting some old organizing 101 manuals. Here's one by SDS published in 1968.

It's day 93 of the ICE occupation of MN.
Minnesotans are not generally people who engage in long hugs, but the last 3 months have changed that.
The hugs now are long and meaningful, whether between old friends or people who just met responding to ICE calls.
Our love for community keeps us safe.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Too bad there's no opposition party that could run a 48 hour Youtube telethon program with 48 elected officials each programming one hour to point out the awfulness of the war on Iran. That would definitely not get any media or other attention.

Perhaps the guests could include former enlisted military members pointing out the bullshit. Perhaps folks trapped in countries across the world because the State Dept cannot plan could be asked to call in... Perhaps Iranians who oppose the war could be featured...

If the war ends up as a debacle for the US, it is clear that Israel is going to be blamed, and by extension also American Jews, and Jews in general, in a manner surpassing similar accusations regarding the Iraq war. The infrastructure for antisemitism is just far more developed and mainstreamed.

Republicans have caused total chaos in Dallas County. It's instructive.
Whether or not Trump attempts some sort of executive order to nationalize election administration, Republicans have an endless number of paths to create absolute mayhem in November.

Texasβs Biggest Right-Wing Donor Has Abandoned Ken Paxton
Tim Dunn was the attorney generalβs biggest supporter. The U.S. Senate run has changed things.
And of course, the Ken Paxton of it all. Will the embattled, Biblically-divorcing attorney generalβs myriad scandals be too much for voters? Can Paxton defeat a John Cornyn, a Texas institution, without the backing of his longtime benefactor, far-right billionaire Tim Dunn?

Oliver takes a dump on the Schumer-led Democratic demands after Alex Prettiβs shooting β βmasks off, body cams onβ β noting the killers had fucking body cams on, that that footage exists, that it didnβt change shit, and that weβre likely never to see it b/c they were exonerated automatically.
