I love pouring champagne because the bubbles sound like the quiet roar of a crowd, cheering just for you.
Never forget: Kevin McCarthy said, “I'll give you the truth why I'm not speaker. It's because one person, a member of Congress, wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year-old.” That member is Matt Gaetz.
Matt Gaetz is still being investigated by the House Ethics Committee. If confirmed as attorney general, Gaetz would take the helm of a department that — as recently as last year — was investigating him for possible sex trafficking offenses.
This is a love letter to my fellow Millennials. We’ve been to hell & back, chronically overlooked & undervalued, yet somehow younger generations call us ‘pushovers’. Because they don’t understand the courage it takes to go through what we went through & still decide to be kind 🩷
The people who lied to you that Garland (and Mueller and Comey and the rest) would get Trump are professional propagandists put in place to protect not only Trump, but corrupt institutions like the DOJ. They are going to give you more bad and dangerous advice. Do not follow it.
I'm struck by the criticism that progressivism is to blame for Harris' loss.. As someone who covered the Harris campaign day in and day out for months, she was not running as a progressive, not on immigration, not on climate, etc. She ran as a centrist, consensus driven…
Pro tip: don’t listen to people who made decisions that brought us to this moment unless they’re being self reflective and taking some accountability. This is just deflection and makes immigrants, trans folks and progressives less safe.
.@PhilippeReines with some tough medicine for his party @CNNThisMorning: He says being held hostage to the far left, that most Democrats he knows think the border is a problem & “males at birth” shouldn’t play women’s sports And he adds: “Again, I’m afraid to say something…
here's my offer as a seasoned community organizer of 15 years: if you're freaking out about electoral politics and want to make use of your panic, which is only as useful as it is turned into a labor of love and radical change, let me know if you want to learn how to organize.
When Republicans, charters, and corporations team up to keep teachers and CPS parents from the School Board, we have to stand up and fight back! We must send a message that our schools will not be bought. Today we elect candidates who believe EVERY student should have a loving,…
In addition to the Islamophobic tweet below, it turns out state Sen. Sara Feigenholtz had also shared a quote from Golda Meir suggesting Arabs don't love their kids and force Israel to kill them. Muslim leaders called for Feigenholtz's resignation today: chicago.suntimes.com/news/2024/11/0…
Four days before she called on Chicago's new school board president to resign for posts criticized as antisemitic, State Sen. Feigenholtz called someone a "badass truth teller" for a deeply Islamophobic tweet saying Muslims "stick their heads in the dirt multiple times a day"
For the 2nd time in 3 days Northwestern has dismantled a sukkah of Jewish students trying to observe Sukkot in solidarity with Gaza. It should go without saying but interrupting Jews at prayer and destroying their ritual objects does not "fight antisemitism" or "protect Jews."
This is what things looks like at 1.5 degrees of warming. Think about what it looks like at twice that, which is where we’re headed unless we do a *lot* more very quickly.
8PM EDT: This is nothing short of astronomical. I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you the storms small eye and intensity. 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 200+ MPH. This is now the 4th strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on…
Back-to-back record breaking hurricanes, multiple towns wiped off the map, meteorologist crying on live television. The climate crisis isn’t a future generations problem, we passed the 1.5C of warming threshold last year. We’re in climate crisis is right now.
This is what US journalists don't understand about our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza. Or they do and just don't care. These reporters aren't caught up in a war zone out in the field. These reporters are being murdered at home alongside their families because of their work.
Days earlier, journalist Hassan Hamad was threatened with death in a WhatsApp text. “If you continue to spread lies against Israel we will soon catch up with you…this is your final warning.”
Abolish the death penalty now.
KEEP SHARING, KEEP PRESSURING! here is a poem marcellus wrote about the genocide in gaza. our struggles are entwined!
When you've lost Leon Panetta.
Former CIA Director Leon Panetta calls Israel's explosive pager operation "terrorism" in an interview with CBS today: "I don't think there's any question it's a form of terrorism." "When you have terror going into the supply chain, it makes people ask the question: what the…
A Chicago alderman tweets a... joke?... about attacks that killed dozens, including a 10-year-old girl, and wounded thousands. The City Council has been extremely vocal condemning antisemitism. What should we call the contents of this tweet?
Chicago's media went from covering Rekia, Laquan and the 2020 uprisings to slandering the movement leaders that arose out of them, doing stories without giving the abolitionist movement a voice, lacking nuance and sensationalizing Black death all over again. Wow.
👀
RESULT, and a big one, in Delaware during the debate: Delaware's state Speaker has lost her reelection bid in the Democratic primary tonight, to a progressive challenger endorsed by the Working Families Party. Kamela Smith beats Speaker Valerie Longhurst by roughly 6%.
An immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a good job. A billionaire does.
