I know we are all so happy for so many of the wins last night, but I can’t get over the fact that Cori Bush lost. It’s all about supporting Black women until that woman challenges the system, then they’ll spend millions to keep her out. I know she’ll go on to do great things for America, but dang….

Kansas: there’s a god damn constitutional amendment on our ballot today. Kansans hate declaring a party and that’s why they put the amendment in the primary election. Your vote will matter more today than any November election.
This is an important day for Kansas and Missouri. If you weren’t able to vote early, please make sure you get to a polling place today, not only to vote in the primaries, but to vote on proposed constitutional amendments that could change both states for decades to come.
OMG @paulapoundstone.bsky.social I love you. Thanks for some simple instructions and simple joys. 210 for good measure! youtu.be/i3q8VEcJ0lE?...

In Dr. Fauci’s hearing today the GOP senators were shameless in their attacks. Meanwhile, the democrats tiptoed up to the mic and then left him to the wolves to shit talk right in his face. For shame. x.com/TMZ/status/

Police arrested a teacher for clapping during a city council meeting last week. They went to the meeting of Emporia, Kansas City Commission to speak out against a proposed hyperscale data center that would sit on 1,000 acres of rural land. @mjgault.bsky.social reports www.404media.co/person-oppos...
Am I allowed to mention that even if the Democrats win Congress after the midterms they won't be able to meaningful "lower costs?" Shouldn't they let the public know this so that folks don't just go back to supporting more fascists in 2 years?
Instead of addressing Trump’s Iran war or the outrageous cost of housing, groceries, and gas, Republicans continue to demonize immigrants. ICE and CBP are terrorizing and killing our neighbors. It is time we focus on accountability for these rogue agencies.
I'm facilitating a walking tour later this morning. Each of us can share what we know about local histories. All of us can be public historians. In these times when the Federal government is regularly re-writing history, it seems to me that this is more important than ever.
Turns out that "boring" government functions like REGULATING FOOD are essential...
I think this is wonderful and I am curious if the group has looked into how underfunded the Atlanta Public Library system is because I am certain it is. It would be great if they also do some budget advocacy alongside their programming. people.com/georgia-nonp...

The House Judiciary Committee marked up an atrocious immigration bill yesterday - in discussion multiple republicans lauded how good Delaney Hall is compared to state and local jails. Gleefully talking about prisoners eating standing up next to their beds.
It's right to be outraged. Just as it's right to be outraged when ICE guns someone down. But I also want us to remember all of the people dying due to deplorable conditions in prisons, jails, and immigration detention centers, bc they are also being murdered by the state.
The House Judiciary committee debated the Permanent Trump Secure Borders Act today. Multiple debates about whether or not children before a judge should have a lawyer. I’m nauseous. youtube.com/post/UgkxCrQ...

@democrats-judiciary.house.gov @jayapal.house.gov I am okay if all of my tax dollars to go to lawyer fees for kids in immigration courts. This discussion is nauseating. Children should not be arrested, charged with crimes, or sentenced to serve out punishment. Do the poll.

If Andy Beshear doesn’t call for a special election before August 3rd and force Mitch McConnell to prove he can speak in a video, then Andy Beshear becomes the new Merrick Garland. I’m sorry but I make the rules.

Thank you to the Dallas County Dems for having me out to talk about Amendment 5 last night. The Dallas County Dems Club has just started up and is only a few months old but they are growing each time they meet. This kind of change and momentum is happening across Missouri and I am here for it!
Public service announcement: Innocent black and brown people are not ramming white officers with their cars with their toddlers in the back seat. I shouldn't even have to point out how fucking absurd that is. Fuck ICE. ACAB.

A disabled comrade posted a comment in the Q & A at the Finding Your Role session that I facilitated on Wednesday saying that they research all of the Federal government rules that call for public comment and they comment and then encourage others to do the same. That's useful.
