I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

ICE raids at immigration courthouses, schools, worksites, and stores followed by National Guard deployments have triggered protests in Los Angeles and nationwide. Reminder: The fight for human rights is real in the US.

American life expectancy in 1960 was almost ten years shorter than it is today. And the leading causes of death were chronic diseases. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. frequently tells a different story. n.pr/4kv5xLT

RFK Jr. says Americans were healthier when his uncle was president. Is he right?

Fighting tyranny isn’t optional. It’s our responsibility. What’s happening right now in our country is NOT normal - let’s not forget that. @timothysnyder.bsky.social downloads.prh.com/incentives/p...

This is not just a "pause." It is an unlawful destruction now. Foreign aid is a cornerstone of national security with diplomacy and defense. USAID's work reaches 100s of millions worldwide and America will be harmed. Here are some of the lives at stake.

Welp. Meta is auto-following Trumpy stuff and your meemaw and pawpaw won't know it and will get an even heftier dose of Trump propaganda. Straight up state media moves.

Occurs to me that there’s a similarity between these politics grifters & fundamentalist apologetics: Their job isn’t REALLY to make an argument that holds up to reflection or scrutiny. It’s to deliver a performance of “erudite person who agrees with me” so you have permission not to think too hard.

Happening now, a transgender sports ban is being heard in Congress. This ban might ban trans people from dancing, darts, and even chess in many universities. It'll also target 9 year olds playing soccer. I'm covering live, follow along with me. live.house.gov

The classic paper by Jones and Olken showed that leaders matter for economic outcomes in autocracies, but not so much in democracies. As we proceed with our backsliding, let's test if we've reached the point where the idiosyncratic views of the president can drag us to disaster.

Going from Lloyd Austin (4-star general, Army Dep. Chief of Staff, top commander in Iraq, head of CENTCOM) to Pete Hegseth (was in National Guard years ago, pushed out of veterans group for misconduct, championed convicted war criminals on TV) really highlights what the right means by "DEI hire."
