There’s a concerted effort led by Trump to emotionally recondition people to think that kindness, empathy, and solidarity are weaknesses. They are not. We must show there is another way than what they want us to believe.
Hawaii just enacted a law that effectively neuters Citizens United.
Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum.
Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.
Trump: "Did you ever hear when pilots go and the ask for a raise in the middle of the flight? They always ask for a raise. They're working for some rich guy and they ask for a raise in the middle of the flight and he always says, 'okay.'"
Exactly this. Populism runs on the “everything’s collapsing” narrative, and too many liberal leaders just absorb the frame instead of fighting it. Macron’s refusal to do that is the whole game. Liberal democracies have a real story of progress to tell. They’ve just forgotten how to tell it with any confidence.

The Trump administration quietly shifts $352 million in federal funds meant for the Secret Service toward his controversial White House Ballroom which he PROMISED would be paid for by private donors. 😡 https://t.co/j43hiSeKaM
🚨BREAKING: In Queens, New York, ICE agents were caught on video violently shoving, and threatening, U.S. citizens because they dared to stand on a public sidewalk.
The U.S. citizens weren’t blocking traffic.
They weren’t interfering.
They weren’t even yelling…
They were filming, while another agent stood right next to them, without issue.
Then, out of nowhere, an ICE agent came charging from off camera, screaming, “BACK THE FUCK UP,” and then violently shoved one of the men multiple times.
Even as the U.S. citizens backed up, the ICE agent continued to violently shoved one of them, held pepper spray inches from his face, as the other agent threatened the second man with a taser.
When you’re walking down the street, observing a traffic stop from the sidewalk, normally police officers don’t sprint over, scream profanities at you, assault you, and then threaten you with weapons…
And that’s because watching law enforcement activity, from a public place, is protected by the First Amendment.
Recording law enforcement performing their duties, in public, is constitutionally protected.
The law generally only allows officers to use force when they’re facing an actual safety threat, active physical resistance, or someone trying to flee… not because U.S. citizens are standing on a public sidewalk, watching and filming.
And the most telling part?
If these U.S. citizens, standing on a public sidewalk, were really a threat… the ICE agents wouldn’t have instantly turned their backs to the threat, and walked away.
Because that just proved they were never a threat at all.
So, why did ICE agents violently shove U.S. citizens, and threaten them with weapons?
🚨BREAKING: The first phase of President Donald Trump’s executive order to build a national voter list is expected to be implemented by June 30, according to a recent Department of Homeland Security (DHS) memo. https://t.co/0GlCpJOPUU
This conversation will challenge people on both sides.
I support trans people’s dignity, safety, and right to transition. This is not an anti-trans conversation. It is a nuanced and complex discussion.
In this clip, I speak with detransitioner Alex Linkowski @AleXenomorpheus about youth transition, idealized expectations, discrimination, regret, and the hard questions young people deserve space to ask before making permanent, life-changing decisions. It’s important to see the complete picture and hearing Alex’s full story in context.
