Senator, you've done a great job representing the Commonwealth. Now continue that good work and call for Chuck Schumer's removal as Senate leader. He's not helping us.

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

Want to End the Gerrymandering Wars? Embrace Proportional Representation Trump has triggered a particularly fierce round, but the logic of war is inherent in a winner-take-all system

On election day, an election 🧵

@andycraig.bsky.social argues that institutional reform of congressional elections is necessary. Instead of the winner-take-all logic of gerrymandered single-member districts, he says, choose proportional representation.

We cannot be a meaningfully representative democracy until we replace the Senate & single-member districts as currently structured with actually representative & democratic institutions

In light of gerry-mania, let's talk...

✨proportional representation✨

When will America wake up and realize that Democratic Socialism is far superior to Cutthroat Capitalism?

Greed and competition are Neanderthal traits.

We need to evolve into our higher selves with compassion, cooperation, generosity, happiness, enlightenment, peace, & love as the prime directives.

A protester outside an ICE detention facility marches through clouds of irritant gas carrying American flags. A sign lying on the pavement by his feet reads “EVERY ICE AGENT WILL BE HELD TO ACCOUNT.”

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative.

My son was 1 when leaders gathered in Paris & pledged to keep warming BELOW 1.5C.

He’s now 11, & we’re spending our second year ABOVE 1.5C.

They’ve doomed all our children because preserving a suicidal economy is more important.

We. Should. Be. Furious.

Update on this from the Boston Globe. This is great news!

Ouch SCOTUS

Very good.

Blue states should find a way to hire the noble scientists from CDC and NIH and give them the chance to protect the public health where it is valued. The science doesn't just go away - we just need to give it a respected home.

Fully agreed

At least @mayorwu.boston.gov has been pretty good there.

It’s Time for Americans to Start Talking About “Soft Secession” Blue states are finally learning what red states have known all along: you don’t need federal permission to govern.

"Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general now gather on near-daily Zoom calls at 8 AM Pacific, which means the East Coast officials are already on their third coffee. They divide responsibilities and share templates for lawsuits they’ve been drafting since last spring."

Germany gets 60% of its power from renewables and is shutting down its coal plants. No blackouts. No high bills. Every right wing lie about renewables has been proven false.

The umpire who picked a side: John Roberts and the death of rule of law in America The chief justice of the US has painted himself as a modern institutionalist over the past 20 years. Experts say he’s emboldening Trump’s drive toward authoritarianism

"Never before has [the supreme court] entertained such challenges from the president, and never before has it decided them so flippantly." www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Donald Trump isn't going to leave willingly or peacefully. Republicans are gearing up for martial law. You all aren't paying attention.

I appreciate the thread, @bensaufley.com.

Katherine Clark backs off Gaza ‘genocide’ comments Her statement comes after saying the “genocide and destruction” in Gaza needs to end.

Pathetic. Democratic leaders and the establishment STILL haven't learned. They STILL haven't evolved on this issue. Shameful.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.
