RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.
NEW: Believe it or not, it’s that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month.
Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030.
That means they’d have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail.

The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
Palantir is in the boycott guide but expect a blistering update today. They are the biggest fueler AND profiter of this war and all fascism going forward. One we have to stop.

The death toll from the Iran school tragedy has hit 148, mostly children aged 7–12, with 95 others wounded. A staggering, unforgivable loss that defines our current moral decay.
Greg Bovino and other federal agents are being investigated for their actions during Operation Metro Surge.
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty says her office is already investigating 17 incidents involving potential unlawful conduct by federal agents.
Please don’t forget to vote today! Texas, Arkansas, and North Carolina are kicking off the 2026 midterm cycle with their primary elections.
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.
🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to consider two cased brought by the rightwing group PILF — one concerning the group’s ability to access voter roll records, and another addressing what constitutes “reasonable efforts” by states to maintain accurate voter rolls. www.democracydocket.com
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
TONIGHT: Join activists, foreign policy experts, and Members of Congress who are calling for immediate de-escalation in Iran and demanding immediate action to rein in Trump.
This call will cover actionable next steps and launch a nationwide push to tell every elected official no more endless wars.
"A stable, law-abiding Iran will help build a stable, law-abiding Middle East. But in order to achieve that, Iran needs not a new dictatorship but self-determination and a pluralist government that respects basic rights. Right now, the Trump administration is not trying to build one."
Trump is setting the stage to claim extraordinary powers to take over the 2026 elections — from banning mail-in voting to imposing new obstacles to voter registration. All of this will be justified on the grounds of national security. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:
New reports are more than 100 Iranian schoolgirls are dead after Israeli & US bombs hit their school as classes began.
These fascists want you to believe they are the good guys for mass murdering Iranian children.
They were children. In school. And now they’re dead because of Trump & Netanyahu.
Iran is not a country you can attack &expect 2do nothing!Trump won't be able to stop this war by claiming victory&packing up&leaving like Venezuela!Another fucking illegal attack Republicans let slide&didn't demand he get approval for.This war is illegal AF&shld be rectified by Trump's impeachment
who made this
The thing about the U.S. and Israel is that both of their leaders are trying to stay out of prison.
We are all noticing and feeling the effects of corruption.
A worthy read. Citizens United ruling and the firing of oversight in military and by federal agencies are fueling the depth of allowed corruption.

Cancel big tech, cancel big Tech, cancel big Tech. Cancel streaming services if you have more than one account. Let’s hit Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, and all others that enable Trump. Time to BOYCOTT.
Resistance infrastructure.
New boycott tactic: unsubscribe from Big Tech
