Conventional wisdom says you should ignore your base and focus on persuading “the middle.” But some of the biggest shifts in public opinion have happened because of an activated base evangelizing ideas to build social proof. Read this: passion is persuasion 👇🏾 open.substack.com/pub/fwiwnews...

We need to stop bringing sterile poll-tested messages and fact sheets to a feelings fight. The logical brain isn’t the thing we need to persuade, it’s the emotional brain. Read the neuroscience behind what to do instead: feelingsoverfacts.org + open.substack.com/pub/jiggyger...

Last night the El Cerrito City Council voted to end our Flock contract! Huge thanks to the hundreds of El Cerritans who organized to make this happen. They met with councilmembers multiple times, shared research, sent emails, circulated petitions and dozens spoke at our meeting that ended at 1 am.

The sight of federal agents at airports is an attempt to normalize a military presence in our everyday lives. If we get used to seeing them in airports, we are less likely to speak up when they appear at polling locations.

I have absolutely no doubt that come the midterms the GOP in Texas is going to do every single thing it can to suppress votes, including causing as much confusion as possible on Election Day. The GOP cannot afford to lose the midterms in Texas so be prepared for all kinds of shenanigans.

Remember when Trump “joked” about canceling elections during a war? It’s not a joke anymore. With the war in Iran escalating, the administration is moving to nationalize our elections and block millions of votes.

Have you heard of Citizens Bank? No? Well Citizens Bank happens to finance ICE detention centers through CoreCivic & Geo Group. Citizens Bank might need to learn the lesson that the public taught Target! Surely mass closing of bank accounts isn’t good for a bank

We know this administration loves to lie, they claimed they’ve pulled out of Minneapolis but things have largely stayed the same if not gotten worse. They’re still bringing in more vehicles, the same ones we’ve seen them cause crashes with.

The pattern of authoritarians using war for their own ends appears throughout history. War is used to redirect attention away from domestic scandals, political losses, and unpopular policies. It often creates an atmosphere where expanding state power can be framed as national defense

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

I really need us to stop focusing on the war being “illegal,” as if getting Congressional approval would make it ok to bomb schools, murder children, and topple foreign governments for imperialist motives and oil profits. Reminder: The Iraq War was approved by Congress.

Mmmk so let me get this straight: 1. Americans paid 96% of the cost of Trump’s tariffs in 2025, an average of $1000 per family. 2. The Trump regime collected $195 BILLION from tariffs 3. SCOTUS struck down the tariffs. 4. Greedy corporations now want refunds for the $ *WE* paid? THIS IS OUR MONEY!

For those wondering whether to focus on ICE, Epstein or affordability, the answer is all of the above, it’s the same story: The same Epstein class that has been hoarding our wealth so we can’t afford anything are profiting off the abuse of children, whether in concentration camps or Epstein island.
