In the words of John Lewis, it's time for "good trouble."

If you're a Minnesotan, I urge you to join tomorrow's Ice Out For Good economic blockout and exercise your collective power.

And if you're not, organize in solidarity and demand our leaders stand up to ICE. iceoutforgood.org/

It's the deaths and it's the lives being upended in all sorts of ways. It's all heartbreaking and infuriating.

There are lots of ways we can express collective grief and fury and solidarity without appropriating something from Black women who have repeatedly asked us not to do this and should not have to ask again.

I have to say, as a man with two mothers, I find the derisive deployment of language like "lesbian" and "lover" by those on the far right who are trying to justify Renee Good's death particularly disgusting and dehumanizing. These women. They are wives. They are a family. That's it.

The Defense Department banned nearly 600 books from schools on military bases — but in a win for free speech, a federal judge just ordered those books back to the shelves.

The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is a peer-to-peer evaluation of a country's rights record. All 193 UN member states are expected to participate, and even states like Russia and China do.

Today, the US took the unprecedented step of withdrawing from the UPR www.reuters.com/world/europe/us-withdraws-key-un-human-rights-report-draws-criticism-rights-advocates-2025-08-28/?taid=68b0b7a065047c0001bb1e6f&utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter

I know everyone is loving the Musk schadenfreude but we have to stay on the alert for the possibility that Musk is going to turn his sights to those centrist dem conventions going on and further entrench transphobia and anti-immigrant sentiment.

And they would easily work with him.
