Decades of anti-immigrant escalation are solidifying into an industrialized concentration camp system in the U.S. And we are running out of time to stop it, in part because it's such good business. Proud to share one of the most important things I’ve ever worked on.

I think Ds have largely avoided big discussions of Musk because the other messages they're concentrating on our landing so well and you can only concentrate on a few things. But it's worth saying clearly that the GOP is the tool of maintaining Musk's power over American society.

I said this before but you’d seriously much rather your city be invaded by pirates or some terror cell than by DHS. All those groups are equally lawless but at least you can defend yourself against pirates and it’s not a give local law enforcement would aid them.

If there is good news, it is this: we are at the dawn of an age when no one will care what anyone who let Trump happen says about anything. I kind of think that’s a future worth living for.

fun fact: in 1992, berkley replaced columbus day with Indigenous Peoples day. then no other city or state did until 2014,when i was a policy aide for Alondra Cano and some friends and i convinced her to pass the resolution in Minneapolis. i got to write it and plan the celebration.

This Day in Labor History: October 12, 1962. A huge storm blew through the Pacific Northwest, knocking over millions of board feet of timber. Out of this came an entire new export market--sending unprocessed logs to Japan, which undermined Northwest timber employment. Let's talk storms and labor!

He may win Michigan, too.

Even if you think that Israel's destruction of Gaza has not yet met the legal threshold of genocide you should recognise that Israel's government and a large share of the electorate are set on the physical destruction and removal of Palestinian people between the River and the Sea.

Stick an argument and everything becomes part of it.

“Nobel purists stress that the economics prize is technically not a Nobel Prize.” I’ll stuff all those “purists” in a single locker.

Elon will soon have outspent his 2024 total, at least in what we can track.

And Vance is just doing AP Trumpism so good practice for him, too.

We can't know how this ends. But I think any Dem candidate should study how Zelenskyy plays Trump. He never lets him have the final word and always reframes the debate, so Ukraine both retains agency and doesn't live in Trump and Putin's lies.

Why would you send anyone there?
