This is why America cannot have healthcare and all the other nice things. Also, yet another in the continuing series: Which dystopian Novel/Film/TV show are we in now? There is a striking similarity to the robot dogs from the 2019-2022 War of the Worlds TV show. This is not a comforting thought.

Of El Sayed’s MI Senate campaign, one supporter said, “It doesn’t limit us to just what we think is possible, but it changes what we think is possible.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Abdul El-Sayed’s win proves change is possible for Democrats. His next fight may determine their future
If the progressive wins Michigan’s general election, it could redefine the 2028 presidential contest. If he fails, the establishment will call him a cautionary tale

❤️‍🩹 Today marks 2 years since the passing of Jane McAlevey, O4P’s co-founder and lead trainer.This is an excerpt from her last public appearance, during our “Core Fundamentals” training in May 2024. Jane was all-hands-on-deck until the end, encouraging us to take no shortcuts and instead do the harder work of deep organizing: focused on tried and tested methods to create crises for our opponents and build real power capable of transforming lives.She is forever in our hearts and minds.You can read the first chapter of Jane’s seminal book “No Shortcuts” on our website, and check out the full segment of her talk on our YouTube page.

If I was a lawmaker in a country and I was kidnapped by another country. I would spend the rest of my human life doing everything in my petty power to make that other country’s government pay for their foolishness. You know like a normal person. I would not send them more weapons.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

On July 4th, neo-fascists marched in D.C. under a flag glorifying segregation and slavery. The US never finished the job of creating a society that embraces racial justice. To start, it needs to enforce the Civil Rights Act and engage in a proper Reconstruction. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Silly us. We thought US embassies protected, rather than threatened, US citizens abroad. But regardless, even if free speech is not solidly protected in the US anymore, it is in the EU. If in Brussels on Sunday the 28th of June, join the protest. Our friends there know how to celebrate democracy!!!

10 years post Brexit -- which campaign promises have come true? None. We are not surprised. It was a bad idea then and still is. And much of the UK agrees. If the vote were held today, the UK would still be part of the EU.
