A Hawaii man who spent more than 30 years behind bars for a murder he had long insisted he did not commit, was released on Friday on the orders of a judge who cited new evidence in his case.
I wrote this for everybody who is (understandably) upset about all things other people (the media, the Dems, etc.) aren't doing... we can hold all of that frustration and also be the person somebody else looks to as an example of what to do.
In the piece below, I talk a lot about mass messaging (posters, stickers, etc.) to keep the focus not just on enmity towards Trump and Musk but the impact of their actions. In case it's helpful, I put together some examples! Not perfect, but they get the job done (feel free to steal/share)
We need an outline of crisis scenarios in which everyday people will be fucked over (and how) because of the evisceration of government agencies. Most people have no idea what any of these cuts or firings mean for them.
Nostalgia is such a disease dude. The finite nature of art underscores its beauty and whimsy, if you love something let it die!

1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.
Ben Wikler blocked a primary. He should not be anywhere near the DNC chair position.
Wikler helped to block a primary in Wisconsin, disenfranchising millions of voters.
You helped to block a primary process. That's disqualifying.

Indigenous Women Rising is a fund that helps Native women access reproductive health care.

Bernie, you had the chance to endorse the candidate who was carrying on your legacy, and you endorsed Biden / Harris and campaigned for them instead. @sanders.senate.gov
Interviewing countless railroad workers led me to interview residents of East Palestine, OH, which led me to interview working people living & fighting for justice in other "sacrifice zones"—now those residents are banding together. It's so inspiring @therealnews.com
