Nepalโ€™s leaderless Gen-Z revolution has changed the rules of power Rising without a leader, Nepalโ€™s youth broke a cycle of betrayal and showed where power truly lies.

The advantage of leaderless revolution is that there is no one the existing power structure can kill to stop the wave.

This is the way โœŠ

But from the bottom up to the leadership the far-right legions are filled with losers and cowards. This is, in no small part, what fascism is. Itโ€™s a vehicle for weak men who want to project dominance but secretly love being dominated by their leaders.

Karoline Leavitt makes me yearn for Sean Spicer in the same way DJT makes George W. seem eloquent.

I heard a commentator say today that Bondi has now surpassed John Mitchell as the worst AG in American history. I concur.

She and I have been acquainted since childhood, having grown up as neighbors and classmates. A truly gifted, dedicated and graceful woman.

Restoring Sanity and Humanity to the Immigration System Requires Putting Enforcement Under Article I Congressional Courts Leaving it to the executive-controlled Justice Department has led to politicization, instability, and the erosion of due process

She is also a McArthur Genius Grant awardee, among many other superlatives.

This Election Day may seem unimportant because there are no โ€œbigโ€ offices on the ballot but many states hold their nonpartisan municipal elections in off years. Races for city council, school boards, county judgeships are VITALLY important to the day to day functions of your community! Participate!

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

Federal agents making war on innocent, unarmed, and peaceful citizens. This is not the country I took an oath twice to protect with my life. I sure as hell wouldn't take that oath today.

Federal agents knock down elderly couple during Portland protest An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

Peaceful protestors in their 80s are not a threat to our communityโ€™s safety; the Trump administrationโ€™s aggressive tactics are the real danger.
