I believe in future-proofing libraries from budget cuts and book bans by investing in local civic power. I am a progressive Democrat and a lover of local news.

The boards also distort politics on "safety" issues. It's rare to see people under 40 at most meetings.
This is 100% true. If you live in NYC, you should join your local community board — right now they’re much richer, older, whiter, more conservative, and more likely to be drivers+homeowners than the communities they represent.
That distorts our politics on every issue, especially housing.

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has proposed disastrous cuts to our city's libraries while setting aside $5M for a ShotSpotter replacement. As library associate Sara Heymann told me, “Libraries embody everything we need to fight back against fascism.” My piece on what’s at stake and how to fight back:
You Can’t Fight Fascism While Defunding Libraries
“Libraries embody everything that we need right now to fight back against fascism," says Sara Heymann.

Going from -22 to -9 is they don't realize the powerful message they just sent. There are THOUSANDS of voters in TN who probably stayed home bc they thought it was impossible.
Now they're at home thinking, "Wow, I'm going to vote in the next election because we can win."

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.
Getting big money out of politics.
Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.
Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...
This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

I’m sure he offers to pay them. Not sure he actually does.
If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

The Democratic Party hasn’t had enough competition of ideas.
It’s time for fresh, bold voices. People who have been in elected office for over 20 years shouldn’t be the future of our party.

We're primarying John Fetterman.
Last week, Fetterman again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians.
We deserve real working class leadership in the Senate, not a Trump-enabling Democrat.

Apprenticeships are a great way to train up people to learn the skills for good jobs. Union apprenticeship programs are second to none, and I’m proud to cosponsor the National Apprenticeship Act to keep growing apprenticeship for generations to come.

It is telling that when an older Democratic leader retires (or, sadly, dies), a competitive primary with lots and lots of interesting candidates emerges -- the gerontocracy's selfish belief that ~they alone can lead~ is immediately proven false!
