The same way you don't want people bombing you and your loved ones is the same exact thing that other people feel where they live.

It's hard to express what it meant to watch Maurice, Natalia, Celeste, and Rhea tell their storiesβ€”in their own voicesβ€”this morning.

The segment revealed a brutal reality: homelessness at this scale isn't about personal failure. It's the result of policy choices and systems built to exploit people.

I donated to Growing Home in CO. They have a food pantry and provide so many other crucial services for the community.

This happened to me a few years ago. All three of my pre college schools demolished and rebuilt.

If that happens we might need a Chicago Fire discussion group. A spin-off if you will.

Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post, and the Cost of Speaking Out As Saudi Arabia hosts comedians and courts gamers, the silenced voice of Jamal Khashoggi still echoes.

I wrote this piece about 7th anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi's murder.

On the costs of speaking the truth in today's world.

And how Jamal's memory still stalks Saudi Arabia--- and the Washington Post.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Now is the time to be brave. Republicans in Georgia have controlled our state for over 20 years leading to underfunded schools, closing hospitals, & low wages stuck at $5.15.

I'm running for Governor to change that.

I recently watched a lot (too much) of Grey’s Anatomy so maybe I need another series that goes on forever.

Most generously considered, what is happening with your Ezra Kleins and even your David Frenches of the world is to attempt to broker a compromise between racists and anti-racists, bigots and anti-bigots that might leave things stable for those who prioritize stability over racism or anti-racism.

Eat. Sleep. Exercise. Nurture the relationships that sustain you. Protect your health. Find joy. Don't mistake any of these for the resistance itself. Joy isn't resistance, neither is rest. But you need to be whole to resist for a lifetime.

We're going to be in movement for the rest of our lives, there's a world to win & so much between us and freedom. How do we make struggle sustainable? So ask yourself, what is the best use of my skills and resources. Limit yourself to that work, because you can't be everywhere.

Right-wingers are calling for my arrest. You know why? Because they know I’m the only candidate in my race who will actually stand up to ICE and Trump.

And they’re right.ο»Ώ

THE CUT

They Want the Shooter to Be Trans

THE CUT They Want the Shooter to Be Trans By Lex McMenamin, a writer and editor at Teen Vogue.

β€œAnti-trans harassment and violence is all the rage. Trans people are afraid to leave the country, let alone leave their houses. The right-wing ecosystem has gladly spent years creating these conditions, while Democrats have by turns avoided saying anything about them at all” 😞
