Holy shit. This happened last night at the townhall of MAGA Congresswoman Harriet Wageman, who defeated Liz Cheney in deep red Wyoming, where Trump won with over 45%, the biggest margin in the nation. Give 'em hell.

Thank you the 15,000 people who came out in Tempe, Arizona tonight for our Fighting Oligarchy tour. In fact, not only was the arena filled, but the overflow crowd was also at capacity. Americans will not hand their democracy over to authoritarianism.

"As Rudy Giuliani’s daughter, I’m unfortunately well-suited to remind Americans of just how calamitous being associated with Trump can be, even for those who are convinced he’s on their side. Watching my dad’s life crumble since he joined forces with Trump has been extraordinarily painful, both on a personal level and because his demise feels linked to a dark force that threatens to once again consume America" vanityfair.com/news/story/ca…

Calling all Zionists who have defended Israel and who are getting “increasingly uncomfortable with the ‘Z word’” as a Jewish colleague told me recently. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Remember that Chomsky was a Zionist who actually moved to Israel as a young man, came back saying it was the most racist society on earth, and has spent the rest of his life trying to get the western world to understand that.

It is true, undocumented migrants commit less crime than Donald Trump. And if you don’t believe me, check out the facts in Texas at this National Institute of Justice website where I have put the URL in the first comment. Cut and paste is your friend!

He was 30 years old. Black men deserve to grow old—not be lynched on a Subway because they were having a mental health crisis. Jordan deserved better. Accountability now.

Good evidence in case you have doubt about race-concordant mentoring Also evidence, decades of White on White mentoring—would they keep doing it if it doesn’t work? More reasons we need more #diversity at the higher ranks
New article by @SFSU alumna @NatGPenaloza et al., documents importance of 'race'-concordant mentorship in urology. It supports early findings of @sfBUILD. @KBibbinsDomingo @ARCHDrNguyen @AliciaFMD sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

We only need 3.5% of population to be activist to change world. By this criterion and from my interaction with people @UCSF, we are definitely going to make it a better place for #inclusion, #diversity, #equity, and #antiracism #IDEA bbc.in/3jhgdzK
