Climate activist, general troublemaker active in the Democratic Party. We need to build the Party back into something that has the trust of the working class that can finally get rid of MAGA once and for all.

Please join us for a special session of the Alameda County Progressive Democrats tonight @ 7-8:30 pm. Two leading national experts on "what works" in terms of congressional and state advocacy for Palestine will speak. Relevant even if you don't live in the County. Hassan and Lily are incredible!

Interestingly, in Loper Bright vs Raimondo, the conservative majority on SCOTUS ruled just last year that the judiciary can in fact overrule regulatory decisions made by the executive branch especially when those decisions are not specified by Congress.

Ro is the 'fauxest' of the faux progressives. Thinking he can beg Elon to do the right thing is the most ridiculous approach to what Elon is doing.

BREAKING: 10,000 workers at Kroger-owned King Soopers are now on strike in Colorado, shutting down 77 grocery stores.

UFCW workers voted by 96% to strike after their contract expired in January.

It's the first big strike of Trump's second term.

The data presented in here is pretty compelling. At a minimum, it should be investigated further.

It was so obvious what was going. When they said the tariffs would be postponed until Tuesday, I knew he would claim he did something wonderful so they're no longer necessary.

His neanderthal base believes he's a brilliant bully beating up on poorer countries. They love the cruelty of it all.

We need a Democratic Party that has a spine and will do what is needed to stand up to Trump. Sadly, I'm not seeing such a Party today.

I absolutely love how quickly Canadians started placing signs in their businesses to discourage customers from buying any American products and I also love how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau specifically targeted Red States in retaliation. I love you Canada, Iโ€™m rooting for you.
