Today recalling that time in 1988 when we drove to Chicago to see INXS and inexplicably encountered a Pee-wee Herman impersonator (?) on I-94 who relentlessly taunted us through the window of his speeding car for many miles.

Folks are talking about police a bunch, and that's something I might actually be able to provide context for. Police are never, and will never be, required to endanger themselves in any way for any reason. This has been litigated thoroughly.

Senator Lana Theis accused me by name of grooming and sexualizing children in an attempt to marginalize me for standing up against her marginalizing the LGBTQ community...in a fundraising email, for herself. Hate wins when people like me stand by and let it happen. I won't.

I was invited to give an MLK speech today and a small number of members of the group hosting me wrote and then leaked emails opposing my giving this speech, as it dishonored Dr. King for me to do so. They called me a "discredited activist" "unworthy of such association with King"

I am still struck by the fact, which I learned only a week or so ago, that half the carbon emissions of the Industrial Age have been pumped into the atmosphere since 1990, when I was a junior in college.

After the loss in Virginia we have to talk about how the "CRT panic" is a fascistic, white supremacist conspiracy theory weaponized by an authoritarian movement. The Democratic Party needs to get serious about this RIGHT NOW. There's no time to spare 1/ jaredyatessexton.substack.co…

“As America’s longest war officially ends, expect to see a lot of ‘lessons learned from Afghanistan’ pieces. Here is my candidate for most important lesson learned: that we never learn our lessons.” Worth the read 👇

Yesterday, water protectors blockaded @GovTimWalz’s mansion. Cops came in riot gear, assaulting peaceful #stopline3 activists, hitting one on the head with a baton. 69 were arrested - and are still in custody. The Governor spent the day at the fair.

So why can’t we #StopLine3 in this #ClimateCrisis, @GovTimWalz @POTUS?? 🤔🔥🌎
Here's more detail on the worst air quality on record for Minnesota today. And yes, climate change has tripled the number of large wildfires in North America. This is what climate change looks like. #mnwx mprnews.org/story/2021/07/29…

Quick thread: I don't think most people know what antivaxx posts on Facebook really look like. That's good. Why would you? But I think people assume it's Suzy Turmeric plaintively yelling at you about the microchip, and it’s not. It looks like this. Like code. Or gibberish.

It is time to end the source of conflict – occupation. The Israeli government forcing Palestinians out of their homes in #SheikhJarrah is a form of state-sanctioned violence. The @StateDept needs to call on Israel to end all evictions & home demolitions.

Fox News tried to insert their lie that Colorado's voting laws are the same as Georgia's into the White House Press Briefing, but Press Secretary Jen Psaki shot it down.

Well, actually: A thread:
Has anyone provided an iota of evidence that what is driving this horrific surge of anti-Asian violence is "white supremacist domestic terror"? That would require data showing who is primarily perpetrating the violence and with what motive. Where is that?

Rs talking abt Dr Seuss or Mr. Potato Head aren't missing the point. The only focus is motivating base around who has long term political + cultural power. Voting rights, cancel culture, so called wokeness -- it all fits. Have your 1.9 trillion, they're playing a different game

In the most bipartisan presidential impeachment vote in the history of the country, a powerful majority of both houses of Congress found that the former President incited violent insurrection against the Union & the Congress. History will record his terrible constitutional crime.
