I want to run for public office. I want to swing for the fence.
I'm pondering some options.

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media.

But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

AOC: Alina Habba said, β€œWhat intellectual thought.. you were in a bar AOC. Not to have a drink but to serve one.” I don’t care what this woman says about me but I want you to understand that she isn’t just talking about me, she’s talking about all of us.

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.

I want working class Americans to be able to work less and spend more time with their families and friends, all while earning a decent living.

That might mean a few CEOs have to opt for a smaller third yacht, but that’s ok.

The average American deserves better.

The Dept of Homeland Security detained Palestinian Mahmoud Khalil, who helped lead the Columbia University encampment β€” and has a green card. This comes after Donald Trump’s threat to deport protesters.

Immigration agents arrest Palestinian activist who helped lead Columbia University protests A prominent Palestinian activist who helped lead last spring's protests at Columbia University has been arrested by federal immigration agents.

Utterly outrageous. This is un-American.

The forced disappearance of Mahmoud Khalil for nothing more than constitutionally protected speech is a clear assault on first amendment rights and a blatant act of authoritarianism.

Khalil must be released.

Elon fired hundreds of β€œunnecessary” Twitter employees and the platform has been down for hours today.

Now he’s firing hundreds of β€œunnecessary” FAA employees. What could go wrong?

I've seen a few "actually, a lot of dems are really good at the internet, they just aren't getting attention" please give me non-AOC, non-Bernie examples so that I can educate myself.

I will say though, being good at the internet MEANS GETTING ATTENTION.

There is no such thing as β€œunskilled” labor.

All labor is skilled and every worker deserves a living wage.

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop them from forming. Keep up the fight.

Musk told the Polish FM, a long-standing conservative ally of the US, "be quiet small man".

What I find so fascinating about Trump, Vance and Musk's verbal abuse of Ukrainians & Polish officials etc, is: can you imagine them speaking like this to a Russian or Chinese official?

A few years back, centrist Democrats & the Very Serious People mocked & dismissed the slogan β€˜abolish ICE’.

Today’s actions are a reminder of how ICE is a rogue, lawless agency that is easily weaponized by an authoritarian administration & that it very much should be abolished.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

Something about these arbitrary & capricious illegal firings happening across the Federal government that should be understood:

A big selling point for Federal jobs is the stability they offer. That comes with a tradeoff. Federal works make about 50 to 75% less than they would in private industry.

Had parent teacher conferences for my 12 year old today.

I am so so so so so so grateful for these amazing teachers.

He has/does struggle with extreme ADHD but they see beyond that and see his kind heart.

Humanizing is what school excels at.

When President Trump illegally fired Gwynne Wilcox, he effectively shut down the NLRB and took away the board’s independence.

We’re grateful to members of congress who, after union members made their voices heard, urged the president to reinstate Wilcox ⬇️
