CWA Endorses Aparna

That’s my union!! As a @wbng.org member, I’m SO thrilled to share that the @cwaunion.bsky.social Maryland/DC State Council has officially endorsed our campaign!

Together, we’ll put more power in the hands of working people in DC and across the region.

It's frustrating for some that @dcpublicschools.bsky.social is closed for a third day, but recall that roughly 72% of school kids in D.C. attend a school other than their by-right option. (So they attend an out-of-boundary school, a citywide school, or a charter school.) Many kids travel.

It’s 2026. This current Era feels like the most unstable period I’ve experienced. We’re dealing with disruptive technologies that are running out way ahead of regulations and the culture’s ability to handle them. Know nothing populism is rampant. Yet, I’m pretty hopeful despite the chaos. 1/x

Love this post. The Democratic Party needs more Grants and fewer McClellans.

I love this essay for how it identities the need for something truly radical and unifying in the political left and why we haven’t gotten there yet.

So so so true. I’ve always found those kinds of schemes so dishonest.

Trump’s threats against Democratic legislators are so severe that Chuck Schumer is considering sending a strongly worded letter to the White House. He probably won’t, though. Too risky.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Came here to say this, but Jamelle Bouie has this covered. 👇
When the Democratic tent includes candidates like Spanberger and Mamdani, there is no crisis, or fight, for the party. IT’S A COALITION, NOT A POINT ESTIMATE.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.
