Hot Takes on Singing🧵
Good singing is always, ALWAYS, connected to the sensation of speaking. Is it the same? No. But it grows from the same place. When you sing well, you’re taking the core function of communicating with your voice, and growing it to fit a specific genre or style of music.

Our campaign raised nearly $845,000 this filing period.
We did it from 10,988 individual donors across almost every NYC zip code. And with $500,000+ matching eligible, we expect another $4+ million next month.
We have the movement, the momentum and the money to win.

Ignoring a court order on the grounds that “ah-ah-ah, the law doesn’t apply once you get to international waters!!” is absolutely sanctionable. 8th grade-ass lawyering. Completely unserious.

My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.
My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.
I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

There are so many betrayals in Chuck Schumer's vote for the CR, but perhaps none worse than going against the request of the federal workers who've been most harmed by the on-going coup.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
