Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

California Democratic Party @cademocrats.bsky.social held their annual convention last weekend. There was a consensus that the rhetoric was much more progressive than expected. But will it translate into action?

Musk’s team was caught using a customized version of the Grok chatbot, without approval, to sift through sensitive government data inside the Department of Homeland Security. They used a modified version in an attempt to hide the fact that they were doing it.

Los Angeles, is this good??? Karen Bass is giving half of our budget to LAPD, while the city has to pay out hundreds of millions in civil liability payouts annually for LAPD violence & misconduct. The police are literally defunding the city.

Amazon’s CEO contributed just 0.4% of his taxable pay to Social Security last year. Meanwhile, Amazon’s median-paid worker contributed 6.2%. Amazon's workers paid a 15x higher rate of their taxable income into Social Security than their CEO. Scrap the cap.

The majority of people —56% in the US!—are worried about climate change, but not activated. Why not? Most feel helpless, hopeless, and don't know what to do. So more fear won't activate them. Rather, knowing what to do—and being invited to do it—will. Where to start? With a conversation today. 🧵

Those in the political sphere who center “fighting” without also centering their vision for the future are doing so because the vision they’re fighting for isn’t popular—it’s the same, tired vision. Make people tell you what it is they’re going to fight for. Tangibly.

The BEST way to fight back against fascism is to provide a vision for the future for working class people. This system is leaving folks behind. Asking folks to preserve a system that leaves them behind is a hard sell. It’s time for a Freedom Budget for All Americans.

However, the decision is narrow and not final—the justices said the block will stay in place while the case continues. Meanwhile, a separate judge’s ruling that also calls for many of those workers to be reinstated is still in effect.
