Thanks for sharing this! Will definitely check it out.

would LOVE to connect with folx who are doing this organizing work. Our local group is also experiencing some growing pains and entering a phase of some difficult convos and decisions about our main goals.
Sending strength and energy to you and your community!

Centrist liberalism has been crumbling throughout the industrialized world for a decade and every single liberal party refuses to stop doubling and tripling down on it. The only time any of them are willing to fight politically is to prevent progressives from gaining influence in their party.

If anyone knows how to send aid to the brilliant student protestors of LAUSD that have shown such strength and courage, please let us know. Maybe you know one of these brilliant students, an allied teacher, a grassroots org that is helping with legal defense or mutual aid? DM me for Signal contact.

Just walk past him! How hard is this?! How can you defend not being willing to risk your comfort or safety when SO many of us with FAR less power and privilege are risking SO much more every damn day to try to resist this orchestrated attack? This is inexcusable! Don't ask permission - just ACT!

Hundreds of L.A. students join immigration protests; buildings vandalized, rocks thrown, LAPD says Protests against Trump's immigration crackdown continued for a third day in downtown Los Angeles, with hundreds of students walking out of class to join.

Trump speculates and blames his predecessor as probe into deadly midair collision begins As the nation reels after a deadly midair plane crash, President Trump speculates and attacks political adversaries and diversity initiatives.

So few in the media have the integrity to call him what he is. Stop carrying water for this racist sociopath under the pretense of "balanced coverage". Even fewer (any?) Democrats have shown the courage to lead an effective opposition.

just ordered! thank you for work!!
