Greetings Good People, I have continued to crisscross the country for speaking engagements and gatherings in donor and movement spaces, including many focused on electoral work. Read it in full: tinyurl.com/VDOct26

We've gotta learn to believe these authoritarians are who they say they are the first time they tell us. Federal agents searched Rep. Ilhan Omar's home this morning. Her office says, "The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong." Here are some things I'm not seeing enough of in our online chatter. 🧵

TW: sexual violence. I am heart broken that my beloved movement elder and shero, Dolores Huerta, carried the weight of this secret all these years. May she, and every survivor who spoke up, feel our love and protection. Their truth sets us free.

While dropping off his kids, federal agents detained an Afghan refugee who served alongside U.S. special forces. He died less than 24 hours later. This is the 43rd death in ICE custody since Trump retook office. We need accountability and justice for all those who’ve died under their watch.

One thing I love about my friend Edgar Villanueva is that he is not timid about scale. There’s nothing wrong with small & scrappy efforts and they can even win some things but i appreciate when people and orgs on the left play big and set audacious goals. We need more of this!
