Jesse Jackson died this week—but his voice is still resonating.
In this 2014 interview, the legend talks Obama, Ferguson, the black vote, and why “change comes bottom up, not top down.”

Rest in power to the civil rights icon Jesse Jackson, who was an inspiration for his great city of Chicago, this nation, and the whole world.
And for my party. Because if Jesse Jackson had not run for president, there would be no @workingfamilies.org.

This fall, ham-handed attempts at voter suppression are likely to increase anti-Trump turnout, not dampen it.
BUT important to keep in mind this November is a dry run for November 2028, and the seating of possible House and Senate D majorities in January will be a dry run for January 6th, 2029.

The bigger reality is creating a sense of fear, not that they’d be able to pull it off. I’m not sure how fearful people who can legally vote would be.

Two ICE officers were put on leave and are under criminal investigation for potential perjury in a shooting in Minneapolis last month.
As has happened in the other shootings by federal agents in Minnesota, video evidence appears to have done in the officers.

My dad was a Korean immigrant who was the grievance officer, newsletter editor and vice president of his local union for years. He died in 2000, but cast his last vote for president in the 1988 Michigan primary for Jesse Jackson. As he told me later, there wasn't another candidate he believed in.

A base that has long made pragmatic, sober decisions appears increasingly attracted to charismatic outsiders who promise to break from the party’s failures of the last decade. They see their party’s leaders as feckless and inept.

When I hear people say that Trump hasn't accomplished much (an argument that comes from both the center and the left) it is mind-boggling. In one year they have destroyed the foundation of climate regulation, crippled the public health system, and brought immigration to a standstill.

People keep talking about how decentralized the resistance is in MN, and yes there is no singular figure, committee, or group coordinating all things. That's very different than there being no structures (plural), groups (plural), or leaders (plural) keeping things going and building things further.
