Voting works. A New Orleans city jail tax proposal passed by one vote. Pick any three voters and any of us could say "we three put it over the top." 🧵 1/

Among my regular passengers on the 44 are two young boys who ride with their grandma from California and 6th Ave all the way to Silver and Palou. The older brother is possibly a 2nd grader. Last night as they were getting off my bus, he handed me this hand made envelope.

Apparently you can't spell "principal" if you have no principles.

FWIW as former editor of my school paper, I'll run it.
@firemusk.bsky.social do you think WaPo should have run this ad?

Daughter in high school asked me about "who" and "whom."

I gave her two references:

1. Comden and Green, from 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗺 we get "One Hundred Easy Ways" in their show 𝘞𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘛𝘰𝘸𝘯 (oof, YayText).

2. Page 87 of 𝐷𝑟𝑒𝑦𝑒𝑟'𝑠 𝐸𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑖𝑠ℎ (YT, you're not much better with serifs)

I oversaw global health programs at @USAID.

They reached 100s of millions of people, added 6 extra years to the lifespan of children in partner countries, and were eradicating health threats worldwide.

What insanity and cruelty to break that.

The real op ed, truly the opposite of what the editor published.
Here’s the original version of the OpEd that reflects my actual arguments.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

@lisamurkowski says after seeing today's footage "I can't see how Donald Trump could be elected to the Presidency in 2024".

Senator, may I introduce you to 2016?

Thorough piece. It's a big part of how we got here.

Now do Trump. You won't need to speak off-the-record to 50 close associates for that. Given who owns WSJ, I'm not holding my breath.

So *this* is what it feels like when a President breaks a promise.

We might have never known. Thanks, Joe.
