As you may know, I recently published a memoir called "Coming Up Short," highlighting what I've seen and learned throughout my life. If you’d like to order it, without co-funding Jeff Bezos’s next yacht, I recommend purchasing it from Bookshop. Thanks so much. bookshop.org/p/books/comi...

Time for all of us to stand up. Racism is real and we cannot allow it to gain any more momentum. Time to stamp it out. Only way this country rea hes its true potential.

This is not a dilemma. The legacy media needs to spare us the bullshit, grow a backbone and get some self-respect. Don't go to a dinner with Donald Trump! Support pro-democracy media that will stand tall and not break bread with a wanna be dictator. Subscribe to Democracy Docket. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Last night, after an hours-long public hearing, Monterey Park became the first city in California to pass an ordinance permanently banning data centers. The city council voted unanimously to declare data centers a public nuisance, and to "prohibit all data centers within city limits." My story:

Lee: We live in a country where we have one reality for everyday people and another for the rich and the well-connected and the well-protected. We have to change that. That’s why earlier today I announced that I'll be introducing articles of impeachment against Pam Bondi.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

If you want to FINALLY watch Scott Bessent get pinned down on specifics about the illegal money laundering operation being conducted by the Trump admin from someone who knows WTF he’s talking about, this clip is your chance. Bessent gets destroyed.

People call your union reps. Our unions are gonna need to initiate a national strike. Now you know why they didn’t want strong unions.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims. Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!

I’ve worked alongside law enforcement to keep our communities safe. ICE is not law enforcement—it’s lawlessness in the name of Trump’s power. So like I said in 2018: Abolish ICE.

Trump told the oil companies about the Venezuela plan, but neglected to tell Congress. This invasion isn’t about protecting Americans, it’s military assistance for big oil and his billionaire friends.

No Kings protesters in NJ & VA get to take all that energy to the polls now in very important elections in their states 2 weeks from now. Make your voices heard in the streets & at the ballot box. Vote against all Trump allies/enablers & send a message to the rest of them for us.

Mamdani’s got it. “Trump and republicans in congress shut down the federal government.”

Zohran Kwame Mamdani@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government. They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights. We must fight back.
