"What’s needed most is a revival of politics as it should be: people building real power together, engaging with each other in the work of moving policy in a direction they care about and getting what they want for their community"

I’m generally pro-tax. I want and support public services. As I prepare my taxes in 2026, all I see is 75 billion to DHS and trillions down the drain in Iran and more trillions in tax breaks to our tech overlords.

The thing you refuse to grasp—I’m a person on the ground here—Alex Pretti was not at a protest. He was walking down the street. There was no protest. There were people living their lives and they ran into ICE because ICE are fucking everywhere. So he stopped. To film. Because that is our civic duty these days to try to check the insane behavior of ICE towards residents.

This is 8 minutes long. It’s twitter so few will watch the whole thing-but I did and I now have a much better understanding of what motivated Tyler Robinson.

One of the most brutal days in American history, on the brink of 17M losing Medicaid, 3.2M losing SNAP, massive wealth transfer to billionaires, 20x expansion of ICE.
But @NAAhq (landlord lobby) takes a victory lap, calling this cruel bill a "95% win for the housing industry."

At a time when trust in the Democratic Party is at an all-time low, hard to think anything more self-defeating than opposing a young dynamic leader AFTER he won a decisive victory. Seems tailor-made to alienate voters even more.
“It takes more muscular forms of protest and noncooperation, like walkouts, labor strikes, and economic boycotts, to stop autocrats in their tracks… It takes a commitment to big-tent organizing.”

EVERYBODY WATCH.
ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL.
Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today.
He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader.
Don’t turn away.
I live on a dead end road in rural Dunn county, WI
Never before has my door been knocked other than by a dude selling science text books 5 yrs ago.
That changed today. Americans for Prosperity knocked on my door.
I was too late to answer but they left this door hanger
Corruption.
Several politicians just bought shares of Palantir, a data analytics firms with ties to Trump and Musk that specializes in defense and surveillance.
The company is poised to benefit from outsourcing and privatizing the federal government.

Whole thread worth reading
1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed.
Put simply: right-wing has narrative dominance.
My org (@mmfa) did this study and been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

STRESS KILLS.
60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, struggling every day to keep their families going.
The result: working class people die 7 years earlier than the rich.
We need an economy that works for all, not just the few.

If Wisconsin elects Susan Crawford and rejects Musk-backed candidate Brad Schimel, it will send a powerful message that will reverberate nationally.

That means we must recalibrate what we expect going forward. The political conflict isn’t over, nor is democracy destined to be extinguished for good.
But let’s finally discard whatever notion of “It cannot happen here” is still floating around.

ALT My latest Democracy Americana Newsletter: “What Authoritarianism Means: Even critical observers underestimated the speed and scope of the Trumpist assault, they overestimated democratic resilience. What is America now, and what comes next?”
Reminder that “markets” are not a natural phenomenon like weather or an ecosystem.
The handful of firms who dominate the national housing market intentionally keep housing supply low in order to keep prices high so they rake in profits for their shareholders
This is our local food pantry here in Dunn County, WI.
Last year, 5,000 people used the food pantry’s services. More than 10% of the 45,000 people who live here.
Don’t tell me this isn’t class war.

Seeing how Mahmoud Khalil was detained is unreal.
A guy wearing an Avengers shirt from an unnamed agency says “we have you,” they refuse to give their names and it seems he has no rights to be read while being arrested, all while his pregnant wife watches.
The ruling class wants us hopeless. Because hopeless people don’t fight back.
At GROWW, we organize working people to win real fights in WI. Hope is a skill—we build it through action
That’s why I stood with @BernieSanders yesterday in Altoona WI
