What We're reading (and listening to) this Week
Bernie on his current organizing efforts
Is America Pissed Off Enough at Trump and Musk for a General Strike? The United States hasn’t seen such a massive labor action in 78 years. But the oligarchic wreckage of this administration is fueling multiple movements toward that goal.
Zohran Mamdani Tackles Climate Change and New York City’s Cost-of-Living Crisis. The mayoral hopeful’s Green Schools plan would renovate 500 public schools, build 500 green schoolyards, and turn 50 schools into resilience hubs.
You Say You Want a Revolution, Well, You Know—The Polls Do. 2026 isn’t just another midterm. It’s a launchpad. A chance to build a new generation of leaders—and in 2028, defeat MAGA with a vision that finally takes this country somewhere.

Guides and Legal
As ICE raids persist across the country, please share these guides far and wide to make sure people know their rights
Know Your Rights - printable flyer in Spanish and English
Comparison of Administrative Warrant vs. JUDICIAL Warrant. A Judicial Warrant signed by a judge is required for ICE to take action.
In anticipation of ICE raids and repression, the ACLU and NYCLU websites have some resources to help answer questions and quell anxiety with at least the illusion of some control. ICE officials may roll right over these rights, but it's probably worth knowing they exist. WHAT TO DO IF YOU'RE STOPPED BY IMMIGRATION OFFICERS:
