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….

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.

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...

New Dad Turns Library Trips with Daughter into Weekly Meetup with Dozens of Local Fathers

What began as one father’s weekly outings with his infant daughter has grown into The Library Dads, a nonprofit encouraging dads to connect with their children through reading.

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.

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.

Thou shalt not whitewash a Senator’s lifelong racism and warmongering. You will all be remembered accordingly for your words and deeds.

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.
