People are constantly asking me — what can I do? Between now and the 2026 midterm elections, here are five practical steps you can take to make a difference.
In Wisconsin, the GOP has so successfully rigged state elections through gerrymandering that even when Dems get more votes, Republicans win more seats. In 2018, Republicans won 45% of the vote, but were awarded 64% of the seats. Their strategy is being replicated across the U.S.
-Raising the minimum wage -Instituting ranked choice voting -Inscribing abortion rights into state constitutions -Expanding Medicaid -Protecting trans youth -Making higher ed more affordable All of this is possible if voters pay attention to down ballot races.
War, violence, and the deaths of innocent people — whether in Ukraine, Israel and Gaza, or on the streets of America — can cause even the most optimistic among us to doubt the capacities of human beings to live together peacefully on this earth.This is why it’s so important for us to seek the common good.
Justice Roberts refused to testify in a hearing on SCOTUS ethics. Thomas and Alito accepted luxury vacations from GOP megadonors. Gorsuch sold property to the CEO of a law firm that argues cases before the Court. The Supreme Court is off the rails. Here's how we can fix it.
Woke Barbie. Tantrums over CRT. The panic over transgender people. The GOP’s dangerous performative outrage is designed to deflect your attention. Republicans want you distracted while they rig our economy, enrich their donors, assault the climate, and subvert our democracy.
What makes a fascist? -Rejecting democracy for a strongman -Stoking rage against cultural elites -Nationalism based on “superior” race -Glorifying strength and warriors -Disdain of women and LGBTQ+ people These five elements find exact expression in Donald Trump.
No Labels is a dark money group with secret far-right donors. It’s not trying to find the so-called “middle ground.” It’s trying to put Donald Trump back in the White House.
Swing state voters will have more say over the 2024 election than the 80% of Americans in other states. Does that sound like democracy to you? Here's how we fix the Electoral College.
In these dark times, it is necessary to be part of the contagion of courage. I gave this speech on the UC-Berkeley campus in protest of the Trump regime’s attacks on higher education. My hope is that everyone who puts their reputations and their livelihoods on the line to oppose the Trump regime’s lawlessness and cruelty will summon scores of others to do the same. Every person who stands up against tyranny invites thousands of others to stand up.
Trump's first 100 day agenda has been to benefit his wealthy backers and consolidate more power in his hands — all at your expense.
Donald Trump keeps comparing himself to Jesus. Whether he actually has a messiah complex or is just conning his supporters, he's playing to a growing GOP faction that wants America to be a white Christian Nationalist state, with Donald Trump as a divine ruler. Be Warned.
Could Trump actually turn America into a fascist state? Yes. Here's how, in five steps.
Donald Trump wants you to be disgusted. He wants you to be cynical. And he definitely doesn’t want you to watch this video. Let me explain.
When I say that every vote matters, I’m not exaggerating.

Trump is the oldest presidential candidate ever nominated, and he appears to be falling apart before our eyes.
Donald Trump left office with the lowest approval rating of any president ever. But some people now seem to be suffering from amnesia. Let me jog your memory.
The verdict is in: Trump’s tax scam was trickle-down economics on steroids.
Let’s set the record straight: Trump is not a “successful businessman.” He is, objectively, a business failure.
Restoring abortion rights is impossible without winning the Senate. Protecting voting rights is impossible without winning the Senate. Raising wages is impossible without winning the Senate. Passing gun reform is impossible without winning the Senate.
Everything you need to know about Kamala Harris’ campaign for president.
Trump’s dirty election night trick doesn’t work if you know it’s coming. Let me explain.
Why should the presidential election always come down to the same swing states? Shouldn't your vote count as much no matter where you live? Here's how it can.
By moving to the so-called “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich.
State and local offices have a huge impact on your day-to-day life. Electing people-powered leaders who believe in democracy and the rule of law will be instrumental in pushing back against Trump and his billionaire cronies’ lawless agenda.
