*Real* abolition would be a great improvement.
160 years ago, the 13th Amendment was ratified, ending slavery. But that amendment came with a sinister loophole: a Slavery Clause that allowed for slavery “as punishment for crime.”
We need to pass @repnikema.bsky.social’s and my Abolition Amendment to #EndTheException once and for all!

@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.
This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

Mamdani: Oftentimes when we win elections, we tell people to go home and just trust us. But the message really has to be that we want you to come along with us… That’s something we’ve been looking to share with New Yorkers: We want to not only win with New Yorkers, but also govern with New Yorkers.

In it, they show that since its strict abortion ban was enacted, Texas has seen a significant increase in EMTALA violations involving obstetric emergencies.

@moreperfectunion.bsky.social says something like what we said ( bsky.app/profile/citr... ), perhaps more eloquently, with solid citations (as expected):
Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies.
Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market.
This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

The American concept of "swing" districts and states would be completely destroyed by proportional representation tied to ranked choice voting.
Further clarity and simplicity could be created by eliminating all systems like the Electoral College, gerrymandering, filibustering and multi-issue bills.
