We just witnessed 4 years of Joe Biden claiming he’s “hopeful”Republicans will do the right thing per tradition, while himself clinging on to power too long—ultimately enabling Trump’s win. And instead of learning a single damn thing, Chuck Schumer says he “hopes” Trump will do the right thing per tradition, while himself clinging on to power too long. And once again, Trump will get what he wants, and ‪we will all suffer. We absolutely need New Democratic Party leadership.

When a brown undocumented immigrant barbarically killed Laken Riley, the right angrily passed the Laken Riley Act, gutted due process, & demonized all immigrants—even though immigrants have lower crime rates than US citizens When a white right wing extremist barbarically killed Charlie Kirk, the right prayed for him, mourned his "fall from grace," & Kirk's widow says she forgives him—even though white men lead the USA in school shootings This double standard is what systemic racism looks like

As Rep Crocket points out, only 2 of the 58 Dems who voted "NO" on the Charlie Kirk resolution are white (Molten-MA, Quigley-IL) & CBC condemned the resolution. The Dem Base is Black women, Black men, & broadly people of color—and the majority of Democrats ignored them to honor a known racist, xenophobe, & misogynist. Smh. This is not a winning strategy. It’s a base alienation strategy.

Dem Senate Leader Chuck Schumer: •Repeatedly refuses to say he’ll vote against Trump-backed funding bill •Repeatedly refuses to say he will endorse NYC Mayoral Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani •Repeatedly refuses to stop funding Netanyahu despite 92% of Dem voters calling to stop •Proudly voted to honor a known racist, Islamophobe, and misogynist celebrated by a fascist party But who even knows why Democratic Party has a 25% approval rating??🤔

This week’s live discussion with Journalist Liz Plank and Scholar Laura Bates is a powerful one. Despite the growing danger: •Corporate media is failing to rebuke Trump’s attacks on free speech, and •Lawmakers are failing to stop AI’s radicalization of young men & the harm it is causing women

Free Speech & How AI Is Radicalizing Men

I'm joined by Liz Plank and Laura Bates to discuss free speech and one of the most horrifying new developments in tech and misogyny

Trump wants Lindsey Halligan as US Attorney for the Eastern District of VA. Halligan spent 8 years defending insurance companies. In 2022 she joined Trump's legal team & is currently tasked with removing mentions of Black history from the Smithsonian. She's NEVER tried a Federal Case. This is their "meritocracy." In reality, it's white mediocrity. It's white supremacy. And we are all less safe as a result.

Weekly Recap: Let's Address This

Summarizing a full week in one email, plus our weekly dad joke

An orthodox Jewish man named Jeremy Fistel, 44, has been charged with a terroristic threat against Zohran Mamdani for calling him a terrorist, telling him to "check his beeper," and threatening that "I’d love to see an IDF bullet go through your skull." Mamdani has a plurality of votes from Jewish New Yorkers, but the MAGA & Corporate Dem demonization of Mamdani is further enabling this actual danger. Where are the calls to decrease the political rhetoric against Muslim American candidates? 🤔

Trump just signed an EO increasing the H1-B visa by $100,000, a visa that typically costs around $5000 This is likely illegal—but if upheld—understand these facts: 1. USA already has a doctor shortage 2. ~25% of doctors are international 3. In our for profit system this will ⬇️ doctor access, ⬆️ medical costs, & ⬆️ mortality rates In short, this scheme further lines the pockets of billionaires and advances structural eugenics to kill poor people. This is just another tentacle of Trumpian fascism.

Remember Chief Magistrate James Gosnell, who presided over the initial hearing for Dylan Roof and whitewashed the massacre of 9 Black Christians by equating it with the pain that Roof and his family are going through? Well—yesterday authorities arrested Gosnell on child pornography charges. Just horrific. He's been denied bond. Seems like the Venn Diagram of white supremacists and PDFiles is a circle. Every case he ever presided over must be reviewed. Every Last One.
