We've been organizing in immigrant communities talking about climate, displacement and migration for the past two years. It's been a tremendous learning experience, and a testament to the resilience and leadership of immigrants and refugees.
I'm so happy to finally get to showcase this work!

Probably not the most important thing to base your vote on but I can attest that for the three years we lived in a shared house @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social was hands down the best roommate I've ever had.

Pop Culture creates public opinion more than anything. Within that Andor was also perhaps the most uniquely ripe moment for this kind of organizing I've ever seen. Really impressed by this work and reflections from the good folks at Get Free!
"We saw an opportunity in the final season of 'Andor' and now many more people across races, backgrounds and genders have joined our ranks for truth and reparations — and have already dealt major blows to the MAGA regime’s agenda."

Every single Democratic operative in NYC better line up behind the party's nominee for Mayor. Anyone who works against the party's nominee should be made anathema.
