I didn't know this. Did you?
Do Americans know that in 39 states it is ILLEGAL to boycott Israel?

I wrote about it today because we have a chance in Illinois to right this wrong. But I'm realizing most Americans have no idea Netanyahu spent at least $25M to criminalize boycotts of Israel.

Brendan Carr (FCC Chairman) spent the entire Biden admin claiming Biden would force TV stations to cancel interviews critical of him—and we’d have fascism

Last night Brendan Carr forced CBS to cancel Colbert's interview of James Talarico

Yes—fascism is here

In my interview today with Andrew Yang, he breaks down the coming AI job shock and why UBI is becoming unavoidable. We also connect the dots between corporate media pressure, data exploitation, and why he built Noble Mobile on a simple principle: your data is yours, not a product to be sold.

At its core, the BDS is a non-violent peaceful movement. It is therefore by default protected free speech as enshrined in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Governments don't have rights. People do. Among them is the right to boycott.

In 2015, Illinois passed an anti-BDS law punishing companies that boycott Israel. 38 states followed.

If you believe governments must tolerate criticism rather than criminalize it, now is the moment to act.

Not to mention the slashed budget at the CDC and all of the DOGE cuts
The Pentagon just failed its 8th consecutive audit and still got approved for a $1 TRILLION budget without blinking so I'm gonna need every corrupt hypocritical politician complaining about made up food stamp fraud and forcing drug tests and work requirements on poor people to shut up forever. Thx.

Today I host two amazing guests.

Ali Partovi has built a remarkable free app called Sway, which takes the power we collectively have and applies it towards actual voting booths.

And running for Illinois Comptroller—Karina Villa—if elected, would decide how our tax dollars are distributed.

Saying “Free Palestine” is considered antisemitic but dehumanizing Muslims as less than dogs is considered free speech for which this MAGA member of Congress will face zero consequences whatsoever.

Hakeem Jeffries says he will always support the incumbent Democrat over a primary challenger AND he says he will continue to take AIPAC money even when AIPAC is targeting the incumbent Democrat.

You can't do both Mr. Minority Leader.

It's literally overt hypocrisy & it's killing the party.

Make sure that these kids know: this is what the REPUBLICANS are doing. They LIKE DOING IT.
Democrats have to be clear: we will FIGHT to stop them!

... you can help stop this shutdown, work to abolish ICE, & work to end the cycle of Dem capitulation. Apply immense pressure. It is the only language (they) understand.
The federal government is barreling toward yet another shutdown.

This crisis was entirely avoidable. Here’s what Democratic leadership must do to stand their ground this time.

Muslims barely make up over 1% of Americans.

It’s safe to say there is a zero chance that Shariah Law is ever established in the U.S.

But yes, anti-Shariah hysteria is rooted is pure bigotry.
No, “shariah law” is not taking over and anti-shariah bills are grounded in stupidity, not the Constitution. Watch as I dismantle the ignorant bigotry and Islamophobic hate from Georgia State Senator Greg Dolezol in just about 2 minutes.

MAGAs keep whining that we have "TDS" because we won't stop demanding full unredacted release of the Epstein Files. I'll tell you what, I'd much rather be accused of having TDS than actually having their PDS—Pedophile Defender Syndrome.

But it's definitely not a cult. smh
