Today was great. We fed so many people today in Tampa, connected with families and are working to build more community run gardens in people's spaces. The city isn't going to help its people - the people will help themselves!

It is actually not great when wealthy elites try to have this much influence on the nominee, whether or not you think Biden is fit to serve.

Many wealthy Democratic donors are trying to pressure President Biden to abandon his re-election campaign and help lay the groundwork for an alternate candidate.

In thinking about how we've arrived at this moment of reaction across Europe and the US, I can't help but return to the longer cycles of history and the way in which rather than solve world historical problems, we have often simply recreated them in alternate forms. 1/

This is Stephen Miller's law firm. They're also currently repping a TV reporter suing CBS-LA for being anti-white, which as a former CBS-LA reporter I think is absolutely laughable. But they're trying to create still more legal precedent for a racist takeover, it's clear

The Northwestern lawsuit is an example of the White gaze in action: “White gaze is the operational norm of White space wherein Black people are scrutinized through the lens of Whiteness, resulting in their exclusion, subordination, and objectification.” www.reuters.com/legal/legali...

Northwestern law school sued for discrimination against white men in faculty hiringwww.reuters.com A conservative group on Tuesday sued Northwestern University, claiming its law school discriminates against white men in faculty hiring and in the selection of articles that appear in its flagship law review.

Don't let these fuckers get away with this

I think the UK is a silly little country with lots of quaint traditions but one of their strange customs that I absolutely adore is forcing all the candidates to stand onstage as their vote totals are read out.

Nope. I harp on the need to build a partisan press for this reason: major media institutions have had enough time that if they could improve themselves to meet the moment, they’d by now have done so.

our major media institutions are not up to the challenge of our current politics.

I don't think it's entirely health for the sake of our democracy to believe only one person is capable of saving it. Donald Trump will lose in November because the American people-and the Democratic Party-unite against him. We should have faith in ourselves and each other to believe we will win.
