Solidarity isn’t charity. It’s strategy.

Our struggles are bound together, and liberation is a team sport.

We don’t lift others because we pity them. We lift because we rise together.

Black text on a plain white background reads: “Solidarity is not an act of charity, but mutual aid between forces fighting for the same objective.” — Samora Machel.

A mushroom. Close view of the underside of a mushroom. There is a white stalk and a plethora of perfect straight lines growing up from the stalk to make smooth lines. Each line is a thin strip of fungi. Half of the mushroom is in darkness.

There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.

I talk about this and more on the final episode of WTF with Marc Maron. Watch now:

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency.

Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops.

We can see where this is going.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.
