The party should be looking at ways to censure Fetterman. This vote split doesn’t even come close to representing how unpopular this war is with voters, much less Democratic voters who sent him to represent us. www.spotlightpa.org/news/2026/05...

John Fetterman rejects setting limits on Trump’s Iran war powers

Good morning! GRWM KS-03! Today is another full day of work so that my hard earned tax dollars can fund wars of choice, a gaudy arch, an unnecessary ballroom, and blatant bribes? Are we great yet? #howarewedoing #grwm #grwmstorytime

@surjkc.bsky.social (and partners) @bannedtogetherdoc.bsky.social screening was a powerful afternoon learning. I came out of it knowing much more about what the local LGBTQ community and communities of color faces from the Right and how to effectively join with students to fight back! Go see it!

🚨 7,000 NEA teachers voted to cut ties with the ADL — the union’s leadership just overruled them. But organizers say the vote marks a turning point: rank-and-file educators are rising for Palestine. Here’s how the fight to #DropTheADL is just getting started: mondoweiss.net/2025/07/nea-...

NEA leadership rejects member vote to sever ties with ADL, but teachers hail rising member support for Palestine

On July 18, the NEA Board of Directors voted to ignore a vote by 7,000 NEA members to end ties with the ADL. Still, union members are celebrating the original vote as a major shift among the rank and ...

You may have heard of Zohran Mamdani: the DSA member who just won the primary race for mayor of New York City. He is a democratic socialist... but what does that mean? Read this thread to see if you're a democratic socialist too.

This week, ICE illegally denied me entry into a processing facility in my district, and today, they released a statement saying I “[gave] the appearance of a political stunt intended to generate publicity rather than pursue genuine oversight.” I have some thoughts.🧵

In the past month, 370 teachers signed up at ZEP for free people’s history lessons from Decatur, GA; Ridgeland, MI; Omaha, NE; Dover, NH; Philadelphia, PA; Providence, RI; Nashville, TN; & more cities.

While regenerative A.I. sounds futuristic, the energy required to power them comes from burning good, old fashioned dinosaur bones If you’re wonder where bazillionares like Elon Musk are building these new toxic, environmentally unfriendly data centers… You must be new here.

How the Growth of AI is Endangering the Health of Black People

Data centers, like the one built by Elon Musk in Memphis, are creating a toxic environment that is disproportionately affecting Black communities.

We hear about how pro-immigrant side is extreme. There is literally nothing more extreme than this statement. Being willing to sacrifice the country’s foundations for an evil goal

Both reporters have checked in, but are currently covered in CS gas. Currently reviewing footage, @acatwithnews.bsky.social thinks it may have been a tear gas canister that he took to the forehead

Reporters @acatwithnews.bsky.social and @ryannemena.bsky.social were both just hit in the head with less lethals and tear gassed at the anti-ICE protests in Paramount, CA. Both seem to be mostly uninjured, if a little battered, checking in now. @adamrose.bsky.social

Public education is the foundation of a multiracial democracy. If we are serious about ensuring quality education for all students — not just the wealthiest — we must reject efforts to defund public schools and criminalize our youth.
