Somehow the "We need to support policies that are popular" crowd never land on the very popular polices like "taxing big corporation more," "making health care more affordable," or "paying teachers more." It's always just "be 10% more racist."

Yale University students have relaunched their encampment, renewing demands for the university to disclose and divest from Israeli interests. They are also voicing strong opposition to hosting alleged war criminals on campus, ahead of Itamar Ben-Gvir’s scheduled speaking event. *2nd video below

The FBI would have agents follow her and even tried to get people close to her to bring her heroine in the hopes that she would die of an overdose. Local police would stand in the theatre when she sang waiting to arrest her the moment they heard the opening of Strange Fruit.

Happy National Library Week! If you don't have a library card, go get one. If you have one, use it! Public goods thrive when everybody uses them. That's why they push kids to charter, home, and private schools, why they sow doubt and fear of libraries and our collections. Use it or lose it!

I think a lot about the dangers that come with the govt, corporations, billionaires becoming more confident that the vast majority of the country will sit back and watch heinous human rights violations and blatant abuses of power, with no real response beyond occasionally joining a peaceful protest.

ICE couldn’t disappear people like this if Bush and almost every Democrat hadn’t fought for it—not supporting draconian surveillance organizations in 2001 was seen as monstrous.

A lot of people like to dismiss racism as insubstantial to material realities but we’re watching a nation burn trillions of dollars in wealth to entrench a racial system of domination.

Remember this whenever people try to categorize racism as the domain of poor and backwards people. The people at the commanding heights of commerce, media, and law worked to empower Trump and enable his agenda.

Tesla had its third-worst quarter ever in the first three months of the year, a stretch that's corresponded with Elon Musk's time with the Trump administration.

A lot of this effort to erase the achievements and the history of Black people in this country, is a direct response to people having their precious slave owner confederate statues taken down. And what’s wild is many people think these two moves are equal.

There are too many people who are agonizing every day over what Elon Musk is doing, who will still defend the existence of billionaires. They’re not connecting the dots somehow.

Hosted an art show last weekend. We sold over 400 tickets & raised over $13K for youth arts programs & $1.4K for the WA Immigrant Solidarity Network✨ it’s a tiny drop in the bucket compared to what’s needed but it feels good to amplify art + create space for community, while supporting what matters.

I think we’re doing the press a favor by thinking they’re being duped into treating these EOs like edicts. We know that can be pedantic and rules obsessed because we just lived through them doing so with Biden.

Speaking of “decisive tests of our society,” during the 2024 election, the Biden admin armed & funded Israel as they targeted every hospital in Gaza, destroyed over 90% of all residential structures, and slaughtered children. And most of the US failed to stand up and say it was unacceptable.

Wrote about the dumbest refrain in American politics: “We Need a Strong Republican Party” If you are a politician, and you keep insisting society needs your opposition, what does that say about how convicted you are in your own beliefs?

In 1968, the Black Panther Party established the first Peoples’ Free Medical Clinics to combat systemic discrimination against Black people in hospitals and private medical practices. Of the 13 health care clinics they originally founded, the only one still operating is in Seattle.

Hey, can I share some historical context with you about “race-baiter” Ebrahim Rasool? When I see a South African who’s a little older, I always check what they were doing before 1990. 🧐 Found something surprising: As a boy, Rasool and his family were expelled from District Six.
A picture of Ebrahim Rasool smiling in 2012. Here wears a black suit with a white undershirt and a pin with the South African and US flags together.

I sometimes think that if a movement like the Black Panther Party existed today, mountains could be moved in coalition with white organizing groups like the DSA. They’d disagree on a lot but they’d agree on many vitally important issues—imperialism, capitalism, class solidarity. But the thing is…
