Powerful ✊
She Speaks Truth To Power. We the People Will Not Stand For Tyranny!!

I'm going to repeat something I say endlessly, the media have a huge responsibility for Trumpism because of their lazy, irresponsible reporting on budget numbers.

100%

The L.A. protesters have really gone too far this time… 🌼

I am reading - well meaning - posts about the utility of migrants.

Here's the deal - yeah, they work exceptionally hard and pay taxes, but more than that - they are people.

They bring rich cultures that includes arts, music, foods and more.

We are a better society with inclusion.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

23 hours in, and Sen. Cory Booker is STILL going strong—speaking from the same podium racist Strom Thurmond used to filibuster civil rights in '57 (24 hrs, 18 mins).

Can't wait for justice when Booker blows past that disgraceful record.

History, meet your redemption.

Today is #phyllidaDay. It was this day in 2023 that I got to unexpectedly spend quite a while with my all time favorite artist #phyllidaBarlow. Thanks Sculptor Hepaska for the photo. Finsbury Park, London #artinfluences

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

WATCH: An *actual* plan to beat fascism A masterclass from political sage Anat Shenker-Osorio on how you can fight back against Trump II, create "social proof," mobilize your community, stop waiting for Democrats, and start getting it DONE

Always an honor, and a treat, to talk to @anandwrites.bsky.social about how to fabulously fight fascism:
