There are powerful forces out there working to divide us. It's our job to make sure they don't win, to make sure that hate doesn't win.

ICE is killing people on the streets of America. Cold.

Read every one of these.

Ask yourself: Is this the country we want to be? Then ask yourself this: why aren’t they wearing body cams?

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government.

Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

It matters to mention that Philando Castile was killed while obeying a police officer & fully complying with the law.

Tech executives have warned AI could funnel enormous wealth to a handful of people and create a “permanent underclass.”

Why should Big Tech get all the profits while we pay the costs?

It’s time to tax AI.

I think this might be one of the most incredible, unsettling and symbolic photos of today’s America I’ve ever seen. I can’t stop looking at it.

The Minneapolis 15 are all of us
Last April, my kid left a half-eaten banana in their school backpack — which I found days later thanks to the ant colony streaming in.

ICE is not about immigration.

ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets.

Abolish ICE.

We elected you to Congress to be a check on executive power, not a spectator.

You swore an oath to defend the Constitution, not to protect a man who threatens democracy, threatens war, and threatens the future.

Stop hiding behind voters.

Stop punting responsibility.

DO YOUR JOBS.👇

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

There may be some niche examples somewhere, but I cannot think of any system, natural or human-made, that isn't strengthened by more diversity. Ecology, biology, economics, politics, agriculture... am I missing anything?
This lesson is reflected everywhere and in everything.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

The goal of nonviolent civil resistance is not to convince the regime they're wrong.

The goal of #NonviolentCivilResistance is to convince the people to work together to make it impossible for the regime to sustain itself.

We aren't nonviolent for the regime. We're nonviolent for each other.
