Thank you @5thsqadvocacy.org! It was great seeing everyone and sharing my speech with everyone today!
if you’re an immigrant and unemployed, you’re a freeloader, but if you’re gainfully employed, you’re stealing someone’s job. They just don’t want these people to exist except as targets for their hatred one way or the other bsky.app/profile/heba...
My Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.
Should we not be discussing this as an "inflationary impact," and instead as "wealth-transference to billionaires"?
AI is making everyone's life more expensive, according to CNN. "Households must spend just over $375 more to purchase the same goods and services as they did this time last year due to AI’s inflationary impact,” Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, says. www.cnn.com/2026/07/28/e...

📢 Violent, racist threats were recently made against County Sheriff Siddiq Kamara. I stand firmly with him and the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office. Hate and intimidation have no place here. Our community remains united in protecting fairness, decency, and freedom. 🇺🇸

The League strongly denounces President Trump’s false, outlandish, and indefensible claims related to the security of US elections as another brazen attempt to undermine elections and suppress voter turnout. We say enough! @lwv.org bit.ly/4f7Douh
Philly, wear a mask when you go outside today! Air quality is really bad due to smoke from wildfires in Canada.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
✅ Building is out of context with surrounding neighborhood ✅ Not enough community input ✅ Aesthetic concerns ✅ We don't have the infrastructure ✅ Developer profits ✅ Affordable for whomst? ✅ Slippery slope that might lead to more housing
This is a funny and very typical op-ed in that the author repeatedly emphasizes he is NOT a NIMBY while checking off the full gamut of standard NIMBY talking points one by one. www.aol.com/news/not-nim...

I truly don’t see how this country can go on if we don’t ban online sports betting. This story is stomach-turning.

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum we can accept from a democratic nominee. We need tribunals, prison time and beyond.
I love seeing folks use the D1 Trolley to get to Dining Under the Stars!
