I emphasized that the creation of whites-only unions was the choice that divided the labor struggle, not the Black workers who pointed it out. The initial act against solidarity was taken by the whites. In fact, Black workers *wanted* to unify! They wanted solidarity!
"But is that awkward arm gesture REALLY racist?" despite having reams of evidence of every Nazi he's platformed or reinstated and bigot he's glad handed, and the majority of his efforts to remake twitter in his image as a corrosively racist hellhole. So many people refused to call them who they are.
On the topic of our dear friend Elon, the guy who has supported and retweeted the farthest right political groups across Europe and is fanatically obsessed with immigration (and by that I mean whiteness) the world over...there were too many people willing to give him the benefit of the doubt over it
Whatever is in the Epstein files must be pretty bad, because the President seems extremely stressed by its content. š¤ Tomorrow morning, we push for the release of the unredacted Epstein files, and the impeachment of this criminal president. Join us.
So we're just going to invade Venezuela with no public debate and carry on with our lives like normal? Is that the idea?

Of course!! Anytime. Itās all cross-education. None of us can know everything. We have to depend on and help each other.
Completely transactional. Doesnāt understand half the bills heās voting for.
Went out of his way to vote for the Laken Riley act which undergirds what weāre seeing now in terms of kidnapping people across the country. Just a disgraceful vote. Then went onto vote for numerous Trump appointees. And then championed the crypto bill which is going bankrupt the entire country.
Iād love to know your thoughts at some point. Itās certainly disappointing

Iām so tired of this bullshit āeveryone is a terroristā excuse for everything
What happened?
And heās right:symbolic opposition is bullshit and too many Dems ālooking at you, Booker et alāis meaningless. I donāt need your concern. I need your fucking action.
This is very good. But Fetterman and Gallego took my optimism for seemingly great Senate candidates and smashed it, so Iāll continue to hope he means what he says.
Yes. I am out of words.
We need fewer heirs apparent and more highly contested primaries.
In this WH, all the the time.
The lifetime return to college remains enormous: four years of study adds more than a million dollars to expected earnings. And that yields a funny conclusion that I like to remind my students about: It may not feel like it, but these might be the highest earning years of your career.
These ppl are fucking crazy.
Russia tried to assassinate the President of European Commission Ursula von der Leyen by jamming her plane while landing. So far Europe has ignored the issue as to not give Russia the attention it wants and to quietly prevent themselves from reacting to this significant escalation by the Kremlin.

The one percent, not content to grab every dollar you have, will also grab baseball caps out of your child's hands. And THEN tell your kid he should have been faster, and threaten legal action for any criticism. Just fg unreal. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_GA...
Blatantly obvious but never articulated: I am so glad Peter has done it. Stop talking about a "two-state" solution when you a) are doing nothing to end a genocide, and b) don't really support Palestinian statehood. No, You Donāt Support the Two State Solution open.substack.com/pub/peterbei...
āā¦ we were treated to regular stories about Bidenās health, even the mostly speculative New York Times report last summer that a Parkinsonās expert had signed into the White House visitor logs eight times. Weāve seen nothing of that level of interest now with Trump.ā
I am hearing same from many people. And btw, thank you so much. USPS is a core pillar of our democracy, and grossly under-appreciated.
Yes, I am worried about the transformation of Americaās government. But Iām more worried about what three more years of this will do to the American people. Fascism conditions us to serve our worst, most animal impulses. What sort of country will we be by 2028?
Painful to read. Unquestionably painful to write. But every word true. If we are honest, we knew it from the beginningāsome of us routinely shamed for speaking outābut like Germans in Nazi Germany, we agreed with the slaughter, or just remained silent. Gift link. www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025...

I live in CA. I got mailers on day one. & I'm already seeing youtube ads, etc. They're gonna try to confuse voters 'cause people are generally against gerrymandering, but this is all about context. RW oligarchs could spend billions on this. A billion is couch cushion change for Elon. Work to do...
Yes. I have not gotten one, so did not see the fine print. thanks for doing that!
Thank you!!
Deportation Barbie is a diabolically evil person.
Anna has had excellent coverage of this developing case in which the Trump administration tried to use the holiday weekend to secretly and illegally deport children.
That's legit how ALL abusers work.
It's funny how much this is literally just "cancel culture"
Until more Israelis march for both hostages *and* Gazans, the world will continue to ignore them. Acting as if this is simply a case of antisemitism or hating Israelis misses this larger picture.

Apparently Charlie Munger, son of Charlie Munger Sr., RW billionaires.
Yes, esp if you are in community meetings, and/or canvassing and calling for the measure.

Truth.
I received this mailer recently after Newsom's announcement. They're paid for by Charlie Munger, Jr a right wing activist and son of Charlie Munger, Vice Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway who worked with Warren Buffet. obrag.org/2025/08/here...
Thank you for letting me know that!!
Kind of amusing to claim itās āunconstitutionalā when itās going to a vote. But then again RWers donāt seem to understand or respect the Constitution at all.
These are being circulated in LA and possibly around the state. Obv a RW op and recognized as such by many at this point but we have work to do. Just for your awareness, esp if you plan to help to pass the CA ballot measure.
I understand fully and agree.

Trump doesn't, so....
This is so much in keeping with how they treated abortion and HIV and AIDS, as well as trans issues.
I just think reducing this moral abomination to "being more or less progressive" is also morally wrong. There are some things that are wrong. Period. Again, thank you again for engaging,
I canvassed & called for Harris, donated & voted for her. And I recognize the limits of what she faced. But I was deeply disappointed in her failure to articulate a moral position on killing and maiming children and adults, but also to insist a Palestinian speaker be allowed a platform.
As a Jew, I watched--and argued, protested, and felt sick--as the mainstream Jewish community stayed silent, or worse were actually wholly in favor of Netanyahu's plans (excepting groups that spoke out). It's not enough to treat genocide as an opinion. It's morally wrong and a stain on all of us.
Trump, of course, is craven and disgusting, but either Biden did not care or he was led by the nose by Netanyahu. So it's that admin's fault for getting us here. Harris did nothing to distinguish herself on this. I am so tired of people blaming Palestinian rights advocates for Harris' loss.
Thank you for replying. I have to say I feel this is a tortured example. Biden aided and abetted the genocide; Matt Miller, Blinken; Sullivan, and others lied from October 7th onward. I am Jewish and have been appalled by what I saw and am seeing now. It's a moral horror, not just an issue.

In a normal world, yes.

Fuck these liars.
LAPD has shot 30 people this year, and last year at this time we were at 19, according to Chief McDonnell. One of his explanations to commission last week was āan uptick on the willingness of criminals within the community to assault officers head on.ā Letās break this down using internal docs:
Wait, what the fuck are the sandbags for. Sandbags are for floods and fighting positions.
Very excited to see American streets sandbagged and blocked by triple-strand concertina and hedgehogs
Ditto.
Heās been very vocal but I have not seen him go to El Salvador, go to Gaza and challenge the Israeli government in person, among other things. But yes, Iād put him next
same.
This is the kind of thing that is required to stop the Trump administration from doing obviously cruel and illegal deportations
Israel threatening to formalize its already-existing regime of annexation & apartheid over the Palestinians of the occupied West Bank in response to European recognition of the State of Palestine is the diplomatic the equivalent of āif you fire me from my job, then I will go home and beat my kids.ā
He's all action; words only when needed. And there has not been a barrage of fundraising asks from him, though I have donated to him and will do so again.
The only US Senator I see *consistently* doing what is right and moral, irrespective of the press or the polls, is @vanhollen.senate.gov If there is someone else who has been as dogged, please share. But from my vantage point, he's the only one doing what needs to be done when it needs to be done
Another day in Israel's ethnic cleansing of Gazans. We are funding a genocide. We've been funding it from its inception in October 2023.
Iām sure our new formal national policy of racism and white supremacy has nothing to do with this.
Just a coinkydink, right? š§ The most recent labor statistics show that nationwide, Black women lost 319K jobs in the public & private sectors between Feb & July. - White women saw a job increase of 142K; - Hispanic women a 176K increase; - White men saw the largest increase, 365K. š§¾ is.gd/x7RUAc
One disabled Marine veteran has not had a primary care doctor assigned to him since his previous doctor left in the winter, his wife said. The VA āwas never like this before. Thereās a lack of staff, empty rooms, locked doors.ā
I did not. Did you read my post?
Thatās why if he (RFK Jr) goes, another one will take his place. We must ensure EVERYONE knows who is at faultā¦ not just one of them but all of them.

He is an unapologetic eugenicist. But so are Thiel, Musk, Miller, Vance, and a whole range of others. This entire fucking regime are Nazis. We have to stop attributing this stuff to one person, whether Trump or Kennedy. They all believe the same thing.
Stripping the savages of qualified immunity puts self-defense and justified homicide back on the table. It is not symbolic. As to your concern about legal niceties being an impenetrable roadblock, these are lawless times.

If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romneyās presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you
The thing about a lot of these never Trump Republicans is that, unlike a lot of institutionalist Dems who think the fever will break and we can all return to comity or whatever, these guys saw the rot up close and know the only appropriate response is to tear them out of government root and branch.
I am talking about the trolling. I am not Now nor have I been a fan of Newsome that does not obviate the fact that people are complaining about his trolling of Trump.
Yes. We know policies are also needed š. Yes, we know that simply trolling someone won't win an election. No, candidates without a personality or who have to catch themselves saying "hell" and quickly divert to "heck" bc... š¤·š»āāļø just don't seem as approachable. People want AUTHENTICITY. Look it up.
I'm seeing a list form itself of all the people who must have complained about Gov. Tim Walz calling Republicans weird. It's all the people now telling us that Mamdani is too out there and Newsom should stop acting like Trump. These are people who do not understand how to reach ACTUAL people.
Of course, this requires leaders willing to fight for their residents. Maybe Orlando doesn't have those. Dunno.
Shame on @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov (my senators) for actively voting for and being complicit in genocide. Shame on @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social We are all disgraced by this forever.
We are paying for this genocide but they wonāt let US senators in.
Netanyahu is restricting aid trucks into Gazaāthe best way to get food to starving people thereāso Jordan is delivering some with air drops. The Jordanians said @merkley.senate.gov & I could join one of those flights to see the devastation, but Israel denied authorization for our scheduled flight.
And that is very expressly the point. There is no room for other stories. They are wrong. I disagree.
The essence of totalitarianism is gaslighting, at which this regime excels. We need to stop trusting the experts??? And listen to this creep instead? NFW
Love this man.
