Pundits have said Zohran is a strictly-NYC phenomenon. But a DSA member named Kelsea Bond just got elected to the Atlanta City Council. I talked to her about how she won.

Starbucks Workers are On Strike! ☕️🫡
Starbucks workers in Metro Atlanta & all across the country are on strike until Starbucks agrees to come to the bargaining table. Baristas deserve a living wage, fair scheduling, and a seat at the table.

What I’ve taken in over the last couple years is that when people have an irrationally outsized emotional response to doing a task,90% of the time it is because they can’t do it — not that they won’t do it. They can’t. And most people will die trying to prove why that’s someone else’s fault.

“Parental choice” is unworkable and the charter churn is wasteful. This school opened in August and parents are already dissatisfied with what was supposed to be their preferred model.

Charter schools ushered in so many of the harms to our public school system by injecting “competition” and “flexibility”.
High-stakes testing and ballooning class sizes, among others, are a direct outgrowth of the charter “movement.”

There’s a weird resistance in the pro public ed camp to admit that the system is flawed and causing harm which is detrimental to our cause. I think we save schools with honesty AND a vision for transformation.

Actually insane, but totally unsurprising, that Bluestein not only mentions Esther Panitch but tries to frame her as a “mainstream Democrat” in his piece on Ruwa Romman’s run for Governor.
Panitch is a hardline Zionist who has repeatedly said and shared vile things about members of her own party

Now is the time to be brave. Republicans in Georgia have controlled our state for over 20 years leading to underfunded schools, closing hospitals, & low wages stuck at $5.15.
I'm running for Governor to change that.

Seems like Georgia Ethics Code should prevent the governor from appointing the immediate family of other electeds/members of the press to BACs
This is all too common.
