Jesse Jackson died this week—but his voice is still resonating. In this 2014 interview, the legend talks Obama, Ferguson, the black vote, and why “change comes bottom up, not top down.” inthesetimes.com/article/jess...
Jesse Jackson smiles while seated indoors in a dark blazer and striped shirt, hands clasped near his face, with framed photos blurred in the background.

Rest in power to the civil rights icon Jesse Jackson, who was an inspiration for his great city of Chicago, this nation, and the whole world. And for my party. Because if Jesse Jackson had not run for president, there would be no @workingfamilies.org.

This fall, ham-handed attempts at voter suppression are likely to increase anti-Trump turnout, not dampen it. BUT important to keep in mind this November is a dry run for November 2028, and the seating of possible House and Senate D majorities in January will be a dry run for January 6th, 2029.

My dad was a Korean immigrant who was the grievance officer, newsletter editor and vice president of his local union for years. He died in 2000, but cast his last vote for president in the 1988 Michigan primary for Jesse Jackson. As he told me later, there wasn't another candidate he believed in.

When I hear people say that Trump hasn't accomplished much (an argument that comes from both the center and the left) it is mind-boggling. In one year they have destroyed the foundation of climate regulation, crippled the public health system, and brought immigration to a standstill.

I usually avoid sharing what feels like "inside baseball" political analysis here, but this merits an exception because of the stakes + scale involved. Zohran isn't "wrong" to endorse Hochul; he has no choice. But for primary voters to back Hochul would definitely be unwise. Let me explain why. 🧵

People keep talking about how decentralized the resistance is in MN, and yes there is no singular figure, committee, or group coordinating all things. That's very different than there being no structures (plural), groups (plural), or leaders (plural) keeping things going and building things further.

Appreciate @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social description here of how cold it was in Minneapolis. You can't really understand how huge of a moral victory January 23 was until you realize how painful it was to be outside.
“NUREMBERG IS COMING.” This represents not the radical, but the median view of the regular folks in Minneapolis towards our current federal government. This is the average view of the normal middle-aged guy in the office. This helps to explain a lot of things. January 23, for example. When the temperature creeps down towards -20, as it did yesterday, being outside becomes difficult. Glasses fog over into an opaque film. Ice crystals form on men’s beards and the downy, transparent hairs on women’s faces. Warm breath condenses on the scarf covering your mouth and then freezes into an ice sheet that loses its utility. Toes begin freezing the second you step outside and take hours to defrost. Even in thick gloves, hands begin freezing as soon as you withdraw them from your pockets, so that even the act of holding a sign at all requires great commitment. Thighs freeze, knees freeze, eyelids freeze, the tiny spot on your forehead that your hat can’t reach freezes. You yearn to be covered in a full-body suit made of hand warmers. I had 11 hand warmers on me yesterday, stuffed in various pockets and socks, and it was not nearly enough.
