An easy thing to do from home is to send a note of appreciation when an organization or institution refuses to comply.

Now that poll data shows that Americans have overwhelmingly become pro-immigrant in the last few months -- to the tune of a 25 year high, with most shift from GOP voters -- anyone want to apologize for saying that Mexicans waving Mexican flags at protests was going to go over badly with Americans?

I know it maybe sounds unkind, but we are very much at a point where people need to move past the acute grief stage for the future we thought we might have and into the stage of planning for the future we actually will have

Signing a bill that will kill millions of Americans on America’s birth day.

The 5 days since Zohran Mamdani won the primary have been @runforsomething.net's biggest candidate recruitment surge ever. We're about to cross 5,000 young people who've raised their hands & signed up at runforwhat.net to run for local office for the first time.

Change is coming.

If it wasn't already clear to folks that same-sex marriage is in trouble with this Supreme Court, I hope the past week has driven that point home.

Zohran Mamdani’s win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. It’s now @runforsomething.net’s biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election.

A new generation of leaders is here.

It seems we reached 3.5% of the American population protesting yesterday.

What if we could get those 11 million people…

Don't listen to the people bleating on social media that "no one is doing anything." What they are actually saying is that THEY aren't doing anything. The reality is that folks are working in every corner of the world, doing so much to keep themselves and others alive, while building the future.

"it's not peaceful for people to be on the highway" -LA Mayor Karen Bass right now.

This is what I mean when I say the word "peaceful" as applied to protesters is about prescribing placidity, not nonviolence.

Calmly marching on a freeway is pretty inarguably nonviolent. " Peaceful" you can debate

"If you got arrested then you weren't protesting peacefully" is a lie. Stop spreading it.

Real talk. If I'm the Int'l committee for the 2028 LA Olympics or 2026 World Cup, I have 0 desire to subject my athletes to ICE fascism in the USA. Why would any athlete risk their life, safety, & years of hard work to get targeted by ICE for having the wrong complexion or tweeting the wrong tweet?

Regular liberal people must come to understand that there is no way you can appease Nazis and especially that there is no way that you can shrink yourself so they won't hurt you. Their main goal is to hurt you.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED.

Words matter here.

He was MURDERED.

it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man.

Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

Over the past month, I have been reminded time and time again that people are in motion absolutely EVERYWHERE. It's just a matter of paying attention AND also of joining them. I'm more committed than ever to local organizing work.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

β€œIf they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”

Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.

Congress: Save Medicaid Now Politicians are attempting to pass devastating cuts to Medicaid right now and we must act fast. Send a message telling your member of Congress to fight back now.

NEW: A House committee just advanced a bill to cut hundreds of billions from Medicaid that would devastate the lives of disabled people and throw millions off the program.

The bill could get a full House vote as soon as next week. Tell your representative NOW to reject these cuts.

Maybe it’s the Gen X talking but I’m waiting for the youth to tell all these β€œparents rights” and protect the children from knowing history or that people may *gasp* have different lived experiences to shut the fuck up. A collective eye roll and β€œwhatever” would be epic.
