I spent 4 terms in local gov focused on climate action, reconciliation, social justice & a stronger democracy. I left in 2018 to figure out why Trump got elected. Now I teach power literacy & help courageous people take action on bold, progressive ideas.

BREAKING: President Trump issued a memo calling for government-wide "terrorism investigations" into political opponents.
His administration is trying to use political violence as an excuse to investigate and intimidate the president's perceived enemies.

Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning.
The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc

In the long fight to compel governments to action, today is a big day. Giant congrats to the big team that has spent over six years pursuing this landmark ruling. The substance matters: the hope and energy it is mobilizing matters even more.

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

Lots to like in this cabinet. On the issues that I’m passionate about it’s great to see equally passionate and experienced folks like Gregor Robertson, Julie Dabrusin, Mandy Gull-Masty, Rebeccas Alty & Chartrand, Buckley Belanger. Also great to see WAGE restored with Rechie Valdez at the helm.
