I don’t think people realize how monstrous the destruction of USAID was.

It was stuff like locking warehouses of medicines the US had ALREADY paid for. Discharging sick people from hospital.

They were warned people would die, and we know the names of people who did

[Matt Bruenig @MattBruenig]

50 angles of every ICE shooting is really wreaking havoc on self-defense claims, makes you wonder about how seriously to take similar police claims when there aren't cameras

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Americans are being killed in the street by their government. Our Constitution is being shredded and our rights are dissolving. Resist.

Senate Dems should block ICE funding this week. Activate the National Guard.

We can and must stop this.

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

In the last few years we've seen:

- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk

Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.

The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.

This is demonic. It’s the purest distillation of evil.

An astute post-election take from a promising writer @stevenwaldman (my dad). Saving our democracy means rebuilding local news!

[POLITICO @politico]

Most election post-mortems neglect a key factor in how people vote: where they get their news.

Thissssssssssss

[Steven Waldman @stevenwaldman]

My piece in politico points to the biggest change in our political world: how information flows. Latinos and young people, who shift led right, disproportionately get news from social media. (Local news collapse also shapes the new reality)

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Election Day is here. Today, we vote because we love our country and we believe in the promise of America.

I’ll never forget when roe v wade was overturned and all these politicians immediately texted me asking for $3

[Steven Waldman @stevenwaldman]

They told me to clap my hands loudly. Wasn't sure why. I thought maybe I'd clap & the whole problem would go away. Apparently not but still, a nice piece. Simple-minded summary of how to solve? 1) biz/edit model reform 2) more philanthropy (yay #pressforward) 3) public policy

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

[All Voting is Local @VotingIsLocal]

#OTD 10 years ago, the Supreme Court handed down its decision in #ShelbyvHolder. The decision left people of color particularly susceptible to unchecked attacks on voting, attacks that we fight against today and every day.

[All Voting is Local @VotingIsLocal]

Ten years ago, the Shelby County ruling opened the floodgates to voting discrimination with an intensity that's continued to this day. Racial discrimination in voting is persistent and pervasive. We must counter it everywhere – at federal, state, and local levels. #ShelbyAt10

[All Voting is Local @VotingIsLocal]

Our friends @BrennanCenter outlined 14 tactics that election deniers used in 2022, as well as how those same ideas could be reused in 2024. Learn more about their anti-democracy moves, from refusing to certify election results to spreading disinformation: https://t.co/FHZOiqJfAs
