The Senate is trying to rush through a crypto bill called the CLARITY Act. In its current form it’s BAD– it doesn’t do enough to protect consumers, has no conflict of interest protections, and allows far too much corruption from bad actors like Trump. Call and tell Congress to vote no! 202-224-3121.

Democratic voters prefer politicians who are ready, willing and able to fight. Where incumbents fail that test, voters will look to replace them with politicians who will actually fight. That's it. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

The lesson from U.S. history, if there is one, is not that progress is impossible. There has been tremendous progress at times! But we must not assume directionality in history. There is no arc, there is no linear progression, no utopian end goal we are somehow destined to reach.

Forget all the “Protests don’t matter” and “No Kings is just silly” nonsense. Protests matter. Societal resistance has been hardening. It’s a massive problem for the MAGA regime. And “No Kings” is crucial as part of an effort to dispel the idea that “real America” stands behind Trump.

Washington just passed a “millionaire tax,” after Massachusetts passed its own in 2022. New Mexico enacted universal childcare last year. And organizers in Montana and California are advancing a ballot measure that would get corporate money out of politics. We still have power to fix the system.

Reminder: DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.

He wasn't just an asylum seeker. Paktyawal was an Afghan special forces soldier who worked with the U.S. Army's 3rd Special Forces Group. He was evacuated on August 30, 2021, entered the U.S. legally and had a pending case with a work permit and social security number. Killed by ICE maggots.

10/ All of this was totally foreseeable. Frankly, it’s why previous presidents weren’t so stupid to start a war like this. Trump has lost control of the war. His best course now is to cut his losses and end it. That’s the only way to prevent an even bigger disaster.

Has anyone pointed out to ICE agents that if they're arresting people solely to collect a bonus, they're not law enforcement officers. They're bounty hunters. I look forward to all of them losing their jobs and being blacklisted from serving in law enforcement.

It's not exactly true that we're powerless. Gathering with resistance movements (indivisible is a good start if you haven't yet) and taking direct, local action may feel too small, but it does make a difference. It also helps recontextualize our responsibilities, taking some weight off.
