Populism is a great thing. But calling MAGA “populist” is bullshit. Like most self-identified right-wing populists, it is simply fake populism that has no agenda for working people of any background. Calling it fake populism and offering a real alternative would be a great strategy going forward.

NEW: For months, @juliaangwin.com and I have been interviewing foreign dissidents and opposition leaders.
Today The New Yorker published our practical guide to courage in Trump's age of fear.
If you want to oppose authoritarianism, but fear for your job, freedom, or way of life, this is for you 🧵:
I also couldn’t stop thinking about Robert Langdon amidst all this news from the Vatican.

AOC and Bernie in front of the rally crowd in Denver
Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background
Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
A reminder I needed this morning.

It's about race, migration, and Irish soldiers who changed sides of the Mexican-American war. What lessons are here that we carry into this political moment?

At least $12 *trillion* from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA.
Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.

A wise man once said, “Workers of the world, unite!”
Heed these words and know your interconnection with people on the other side of the manufactured borders we live with and stand in solidarity with those who risked everything to cross them.
First post on this app. I want to share the online training series I’m leading, “Solidarity in the Face of MAGA,” a learning community for those seeking political clarity, direction, and resilience in these times.
First session on 1/20. Join us.
