Philly can't be a city of no. We cannot be a world class city, fund our schools, and rebuild our communities by obstructing change and fighting investment. We can't yearn to always be America's poorest big city as a sort of cultural statement.

We need to innovate and grow.

There was zero percent chance the Republican-led house was going to hold impeachment hearings. There was zero percent chance the Republican-led senate was going to vote to convict Hegseth.

This is just so dumb.

ABSOLUTELY INSANE.

Update: four campus groups signed a statement backing the ride. Penn Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine. Temple Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine. Temple Law Students for Justice in Palestine. The Philly SJP coalition.

The ride's own organizers called the owners "disgusting humans."

Faculty signed on to that. What do you think Jewish students hear in their classrooms?

idk I'd consider maybe protesting in front of the White House or the Senate GOP who are, like, in charge.

Codepink anti-war activists gathered outside the office of Senator Chuck Schumer, using large pink receipt paper to signify and protest the military budget.

Senator Schumer's office locked their doors as Capitol Police watched closely to prevent anyone from raising their voices.

This will be interesting race to follow. Young is widely seen as a vulnerable incumbent, which attracts primary opponents, but his chances for reelection improve the more people decide to run against him: https://t.co/Bl83eGKIDm

@Philadeliberty @AndrewFiggy These just aren't policy offices, and there's no justifiable reason they should be elected. At best, they become patronage strongholds with mildly competent folks working inside, and at worst they become dysfunctional lawsuit factories.

🚨 Philly DSA Accuses Politicians of Repression While Its Own Leadership Celebrates Purging Zionist Opposition

Philly DSA is defending Sunday's boycott of Jewish-owned businesses, accusing elected officials of attempting to suppress pro-Palestinian activism.

Listen to Philly DSA's James Ray describe how October 7 accelerated the push for hardline anti-Zionist red lines, first within the Philadelphia chapter and eventually at the national level.

Ray recalls being "hooting and hollering and celebrating" after October 7, while an Israeli-American member expressed concern for her family near Gaza. Following an ugly internal confrontation, Ray boasts that "we ended up basically holding our line and she left the chapter."

Her departure helped galvanize his faction, which organized activists behind the scenes to pass a hardline anti-Zionist resolution with roughly 83–84% support, having "just routed our opposition." Similar red lines were subsequently adopted nationally.

Just a friendly reminder that virtually any criticism of DSA will be met with cries of political repression, even as its own activists openly celebrate suppressing dissent within their ranks.

I mean, I think this vote wouldn’t count in most places in America.

Bernie Sanders thinks we don't subsidize wealthy seniors enough. And he'd use up nearly all potential tax-the-rich revenues to give them trillions more.
