Violence against clinics has been on the rise since the end of Roe. Yet one of Trump's first acts was to pardon two dozen anti-abortion extremists and direct the DOJ to no longer enforce the FACE Act—the federal law that prohibits violence against clinics.

I think Elizabeth Warren would've been a great president.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

politicians and executives know that unnecessary everyday chemicals are leading to death and suffering for millions of us with loved ones who get cancer and parkinson’s. journalists don’t treat it as an urgent “public safety” issue like they treat shoplifting by poor people.

I attended a meeting yesterday and it reminded me that every single organizer needs to get training on how to facilitate meetings. Truly. You lose more people through terrible meeting facilitation than I can express.

Long-term suspensions dropped considerably. But Black students and those with disabilities are still disproportionately suspended in NYC schools.
NYC suspensions fall to lowest level in years. Big disparities persist.

This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.
instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

There’s a decent number of people who seem to judge success for Dems as their ability to piss off progressives. I’m obviously biased but this seems flawed

Caving now means they literally did it for nothing and caused harm to people for nothing. Just absolute failure on every level.

Why has the government been closed at all if Senate Dems cave now? Didn't they say that they could not go along with throwing millions of people off health care?
What's materially changed? A *promise* is not action. ALSO fascists lie and I've been told by some Senate Dems that the GOP is fascist.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."
In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together
"Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

A shrewd political strategist, California Rep. Nancy Pelosi has had an unprecedented career in Congress. First elected in a special election in 1987, Pelosi went on to become one of the most effective leaders of the Democratic party.

OK, I have a day long convening today so gotta bounce. If you live in NYC, don't stop organizing. This is a beginning and each of us needs to work with others to bring about a better city that actually works for all of us. I'm looking forward to continuing to focus on our libraries & more.

Texas conservatives who've championed book bans & anti-LGBT policies suffered big losses tonight in school board races.
And They seem to have lost their working majorities to pass their policies in big school boards.
I tracked these results in FOUR boards tonight. So a 🧵 on each ICYMI.

One key way I believe @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social‘s win will be different from Obama’s win is that Zohran (and the organized left) understand that we have to stay organized and fighting to make his campaign promises a reality
