I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Fascinated at how news coverage in #roc is reticent to mention how Joe Morelle’s son’s lobbying of Monroe County for AirBNB included sending MC the first draft of opt-out legislation, that they sat on for 200 days before pushing it through at the last minute.

I requested this info from Bello admin right before Thanksgiving. Typically, they reply to all legislators. Less than 24 hours before the vote, they have not provided any of this. Providing it day of (if they do at all) is not acceptable. Damning. Another reason to vote no.

Democracy dies in darkness- so why are we going to trust a lobbying firm that fights public power? Monroe county should take advantage of the tools the state has given them to ensure we’re collecting the data and tax revenue we need to keep things running smoothly.

Could use some support - pulling out all the stops. Join us!

I Ryan Lizza'd this by saving the best for last. TLDR: Joe Morelle's son is a lobbyist for Airbnb, which probably wrote this legislation. And now, we get no meaningful discussion. Public hearing is same day as vote, also the only time legislators can get to ask public questions.

Why is Bello rushing through a short-term rental law designed to favor AirbnB? Follow the money and the friends, as per usual. Have to read to the end on this one. rachbarnhart.substack.com/p/now-it-all...

I am on my way home to Toronto and the aurorae are absolutely phenomenal. If you are anywhere in the northern half of the continent, get outside and look up! Or better still, put your camera on a 10 second exposure and point it up.

Wes Moore is NOT playing: I am the Commander in Chief of the National Guard. I will not authorize the Maryland National Guard to be activated. THIS is how you fight back.

So much about our current national situation is explained by the fact that a substantial proportion of Americans truly believe that “feeling somewhat uncomfortable” is the same as being the victim of an actual crime

Happy b’day, “American Idiot” — released as a single 21 years ago today, and written in the wake of the Iraq War. “The country had gone into a war based on lies,” said Billie Joe Armstrong, “and no one seemed to care. .. It was a song that came from a very honest, pissed-off place.”

"This should be obvious, but let’s be clear: Neither the White House nor the U.S. Department of Justice has the authority to hire or fire university presidents. But if you claim a power and everyone acts like you really have power, you totally have that power."
